Quit your whinin and fire up the Jug.

If you want an answer to the 900 click kill from an F4c, then you need to be driving a Jug. There's nothing better than unleashing 12.7 pounds of american lead at 1.2k in a HO and watch as the uber-hog dissentigrates at around 800 clicks.

So true man.  That thing puts up a wall of lead.  AH P-47D is the first sim Jug that reminds me of the descriptions in Robert Johnson's book.  Especially when Frenchy is flying it!

Ahh...the Jug...my first true love. But quiet down about it. I don't want to see a sky filled with them. Let them others toy with the Chogs and Spits, 109s and Ponys...just let me have my Jug and as a little known WarBird pilot once said...

Real men fly Jugs
Nancyboys fly everything else...(to paraphrase)

So when are you guys gonna start a P-47M campaign? It's as easy as a paintjob and engine change to the D-30...

juzz, we already tried to make a case for our beloved M model.......but looks like the Luftwobble faction blockaded it, and likely our pleas have fallen on deaf ears.

Nice try Skurj.  Go away with your girly plane.  That thing barely has enough ammo to hurt my Jug.    And that's Mr. Thunderbolt to you pal!  Come play at 30K and we'll see who smacks who around.

Don't believe it eddiek.

I've heard Pyro mention the 47-M or N many times.  It will be in AH at some time I'm sure, but likely as a perk.

BTW, I'd rather the N model myself.  It should handle better although it won't be quite as blazing fast.

Also, I don't think we need to worry about too many folks flying the Jug.  It doesn't turn or climb worth a damn, so it will be left to us hardcore Jug-Heads.    To tell you the truth, I stopped flying it during the 1.03 days when it was too good and everybody was flying it.  I like my Jug to be the rare underdog.  I like to be that crazy man stall-fighting in this monster.

I flew the 30 almost exclusively last tour and fell in love with it. I tried going to a different ride at the beginning of this tour, but soon found myself back in the Jug. I never was very partial to one particular plane (other than the 38), but now I'd have to say I'm a devoted Jug Head.

I like it's even response and handling in high speeds. Other planes get too sensitive.

I mostly fly the jug too.  It's funny, it's a popular plane on this BBS but I rarely see one in the arena.
