I've returned after 8 mos and seen a little tweaking of the ENY  :aok  One curiosity is that the F6F stayed at 15 ENY...half expected it to jump to 20. When compared to the 20 ENY P47D40...
Roll- Jug
Cockpit vis- Jug
Firepower - Jug
A-G ords - Jug
Climb - F6F marginally better to 8k then...JUG
Dive - Jug
Roll - Jug
Toughness - Jug
Turn - F6F
Speed - Jug

My best guess is that the carrier capability has something to do with this. Carrier capability aside, if you bump the F6F to 20ENY the P47 is still the more attractive option. I love the Hellcat, second only to Jug no heresy intended just soliciting thoughts.   :salute

I don't think anybody could hit someone with 50 20mm's.......... I did hit a P47 with 12 and only knocked off a landing gear....Then one finally hit the cockpit and killed the pilot...... With its pilot dead the plane laughed at me and flipped me the bird as it flew on in to the ground.  :neener:

I think the most 20mms I've EVER put into a P47 is 8.

Flaps- Jug
Fuel Options - Jug
Energy retention - Jug...
