It is absolutly the best prop plane in the game, if not the best plane in the game. Even a Dhog can out turn a spixteen, in a couple of turns. the U4 can do circles around the Dhog so that will tell ou how good the U4 is.....  :noid

Fastest American fighters...

P-47N: 476 mph at 30,000 feet with 25% fuel, short clip for ammo. 469 mph at 30,000 feet, 75% fuel, max ammo.

Maybe, but below 10K it's like a cow on ice and about as fast as one.   :rolleyes:
