Verdict on the P-47M?
« on: October 22, 2009, 06:27:13 AM »
Took one out for a spin last night to set up the views and play with custom sounds. Got a couple of kills; seems to handle at mid-speed and low-speed pretty well. Definitely something to explore further!

I don't like exaggerations.

The P-47M does NOT make 375mph OTD in WEP.

The F4U-4 goes about 350 OTD without WEP. The P-47M goes about 338.

The P-47M does NOT climb at close to 4,000 fpm.

The P-47M does NOT out-turn Spitfires.

+10... no perk value, its just a fast jug.  You guys must be running into knobs.  I've fought Killnu 38 Vs Jug a couple weeks back, he had a much better chance winning the fight in any other jug but the N.

368 mph OTD with WEP with 1/2 tank.

It climbs better then the "N" and turns better. It feels like it accelerates better. Before the M I never dreamed of upping a P-47 for base defense. Now? As long as its lightly loaded? I feel like you have that option now.

Base under NOE attack?  M-Jug with 25% fuel, is like flying a buzz saw through the skies of 110s! I love it!

Like someone has said when it first came out, It will be the new dominate American fighter.

It's fast, it's tough, it's got great guns, it has a great climb rate, it can out dive anything, and it can turn with the best of them.

3k a minute is slow?

I strongfully disagree. Unless you are talking about the continuous circles, but only "knobs" do that.

It can turn with what?

Its a great picker, as is the d9.  Please spare me with thinking its some superplane, it isnt.  I guess to figure out how it does OTD in a furball, you would have to be in that position for starters.

p51 eats it alive
p38 just needs to get it below 225 mph before it gets spanked
other jugs have the ability to go vert under 150mph, p47M, does not.
spitfires?  not worth comparison
n1k/ki84 ect.. easily outturn.
k4 and any other 109s.. see spitfires.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
