Author Topic: P-47J please (Read 1088 times)

The XP-47J began as a November 1942 request to Republic for a high-performance version of the Thunderbolt using a lighter airframe and an uprated engine with water injection and fan cooling. Kartveli designed an aircraft fitted with a tight-cowled Pratt & Whitney R-2800-57(C) with a war emergency rating of 2,800 horsepower (2,090 kW), reduced armament of six 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) machine guns, a new and lighter wing, and many other changes. The first and only XP-47J was first flown in late November 1943. When fitted with a GE CH-5 turbosupercharger, the XP-47J achieved a top speed of 440 knots (505 mph, 813 km/h) in level flight in August 1944, making it one of the fastest piston engine fighters ever built. However, by that time Republic had moved on to a new concept, the XP-72.

it won't be added, it never saw combat, p47N barely made it in time for combat. also pre-production/experimentle planes dont belong in this game.

So I did so what.. Im sorry but even the old p47 D had 2,300 hp and a kill ratio that does not match its performance in this game.. they handy capped the Jug IMO. A jug could almost match a 109 in climb in real life, well I checked the game charts.. not so, a jug could take much more damage then they seem to in this game, and had an armored cockpit that was great protection from the pilot.. and I get pilot wounds all the time.. if they are not going to make a new one they should unhandy cap it.. even if it means that a jug requires perks.

If you feel that the flight model on the P-47 is in error then please post some sources that will back up your claim.

Just because you feel the Jug doesn't perform how you saw it in the Dogfight episode on the History Channel doesn't mean the FM in the game is incorrect.

ack-ack

Check out Gabreski's comment about the P-47 and the Spitfire.

You seem to forget too that by 1944 the Luftwaffe was on its last legs. Outnumbered heavily in fighters with most of their seasoned pilots dead.

It's not just the planes. It's the odds they were up against too.

So what? I think that A LOT of the Community would agree that "more Axis planes" would be more beneficial to the game at this time. Both for Scenarios and Everyday Gameplay.

I'm sorry but a 4th Jug is pointless at this time. There simply is NO NEED for it.

The jug is good, you just suck in it.

Your real argument is "waahhh i suck, make my favourite plane better so i can kill in it."

Please go away until you mature or figure out how to play the game.
