P-47

-40 climbs better than the 25 on wep, that mushc is for sure..

according to the charts the -25 does not turn or do anything else for that matter, better than the -40

in fact, in most USEFUL applications, the -40 is better than the N...

I got to go with the -40 cause thats our one of our 367th historical squad rides

But i like these jugs too...

The G-14 climbs better and turns better and has more guns than the K-4. The K-4 maybe faster but how does that make the G-14 inferior?

G14 does not climb faster than the K4.  Not even close.

Difference in turn radius is almost a non issue since, if you're flat-turn fighting in a 109, its not your bird.

Two equal sticks G14 vs. K4, 1v1, the K4 will win every time because it can more effectively dictate the vertical, which makes all other options and potential advantages (ease of gun package use) worthless.

Actually, climb rate is virtually a dead heat up to about 10k, where the 109K-4 gains a very slight edge. Test them, see for yourself. If anything, the G-14 is slightly superior between 5k and 10k.

Here's the climb charts representing in game climb per HTC.

Actually, they are very close on WEP. The K4 gains a bit above 10k, but the G14 has an edge between 5 & 10.

Awww, Widewing used pre-made pictures... that's like a HO!

I always feel like the d25 is more manouverable and likes to roll etter shes an awsome beast.

Wow.  Thats actually really surprising... then why does the G14 feel like such a pig compared to the K4?  Even without gondolas?

Cute RC plane.

It doesn't, to me. Feels a little more nimble (and this may just be placebo effect).

The only major differences show up over 15-20k.

If you've got those alt monkey, fight-avoiding, 30k-flying, lancasters, though, the K-4 is the way to go.

EDIT: Sorry for the side-track. I had intended to draw a parallel to the P-47s by showing how they're all pretty darned similar to each other, and only really close down to the stall, low and slow, with full flaps out, will you notice TOO much difference. Similar to the G14/K4. I just ran out of time typing it and forgot to include it.

idk about EVRY thread, but if its about a plane liek the jug,  ofc the 109ers are gonna show up.  ofc, the only reason i'm here is to read on the 109, i cant stand the jug in this game....  tho the 8 .50's are fun.

How come every thread eventually turns into a 109 thread

Because is there anything sweeter than the sound of a DB.605 startup/running? Is there anything in the sky more sleek and sexy as the 109?  Is there anything more gratifing than hurling 20/30mm love taps at fast moving hunks of metal and watching them spontaniously combust? 

MMMMM..... 109

Because everyone has a secret desire to fly in nothing but leather banana hammocks.
