N1K Vs. P47N

[uptown]

The Niki has its advantages but, the jug is the best between the 2 imo. Pilot skill is always a factor and smart flyboy will use his aircraft to exploit the weakness' of his adversary. I like to hit and extend with a P47, and dive and turn with a niki. The jug is way faster so it decides when the fight is over.

Wnlute will do sir im on mostly on weekends and No im not a squeeker Av8torJr and ZooZoo and Snowey are im on vox 149 Rooks if u wondering:aok

I seriously need to get in the TA then.

The jug, to me, seems like a beast to fly and this whole 'keep your energy' thing is alot harder than it sounds.

And Lute did turn with a Nik, and did win, and I'm still not sure exactly how.

Yes...because that is where you will find the LOWEST flying rooks.

NA UH! I fly at 30k and i'm a rook

[jerkins]

it all comes down to the pilots, the n1k needs to make the 47 kill his e, the 47 needs to do his own thing and conserve e.  personally i would rather  be in the n1k.

Wrong, the Jug is damn good at that alt.

I'm also a Rook and am 90% of the time at 7-8k in a Tony.

I'm a Rook, and I fly anywhere from 2,500 to 25,500 (usually 7,500 to 12,500). Basically, I'll choose whatever altitude is optimal for the attack plan.

You're a dweeb though.

I'll fly the Jug. Its a challenge to kill anything in it. Most N1K's...are ho merchants and thats about it.  Not ALL   but most.

judging by your #, you dont stay aloft long enough to reach 10k:D

I've been seriously considering taking a tour with the jug as my focus ride.  I may just do that.

It'd be easier if one of the skinners here would make a 348th Fighter Group skin

I think you guys fly 51D's in high packs....N would be easy transition once ya get used to the gawdawful slow climb (wep makes it climb much faster, but the plane is useless low without it later on)

Find LEDPIG. Ask him to describe what a well flown P-47 can do. He knows, believe me, he knows.

Well look at the attributes a N1k has compared to a Jug:

N1k- Better climb Rate
N1k - Better gun package and ammo with it
Split even: Turn fighting ability: under 10k would award n1k, over 10k a jug.
Jug: Flat Speed, Dive Speed
Range: Jug
Durability: Jug times 3

My best opinion is this: a pilot can master any plane and make any fight his fight.
Ive been in turnfights at 15k in n1k's and won against Jugs, I also lost against Jug's at 15k in a spit14 so goes to show quality of the pilot knowing his aircrafts limits is what wins.
