maybe, but i will try never to get that low to find out, it just seems like way to many planes can out maneuver it on the deck



Yes, but about 90% of those planes that can out maneuver it cant out run it. The saying goes that if you can out maneuver it, you cant out run it, if you can out run it, you cant out maneuver it.

uhh me109s? Can out turn, out run and out climb The standard Jug-11/D40 - Firepower and diving is only ability Jug has against a 109 at any Alt below 20k - Would suggest learning to ho in a Jug if you run against a 109  :aok

Its true with Wep a 47 is faster on the deck then 109 - however simple 5k alt 109 just runs from a Jug.

I've had fun in the jug before. Took the smallest gun pack with 25% and drop in a D11 into ozkansas to fightertown. Has way too much fun as I was making all the pilots that had better turning planes, as I was keeping up with their turn.

jug accelerates very slowly, even planes with a lower top speed will catch it on the deck form an equal start before the jug's top speed comes in to play.

I personally have been growing closer to the P-47D25, as Greebo made my squadrons historical P-47 skin.  :rock :rock

indeed, 47's are awesome.... i actually like any plane that can get shot at a bunch and still survive (ie f6f f4f p47) because it tends to go sour for me when i see an nme icon  :D

Amazing you could actually recruit that much suck into one squad.
