P47m vs. P-47n: Round II

[Slade]

Yes there is already an ancient thread on this topic but I was hoping for some new feedback and take on this.

You P-47 fighter jocks, between these two planes (P47m and P-47n) which do you fly and why?


Thanks for your feedback,

M is superior in every way, except higher stall speed, but any tard can fly an M. (Which, when you encounter them, usually proves to be the case) Most use it like ho'ing Lgay with 50's

[WWhiskey]

if I want to bomb something, I fly the "N"
if not      "M"!
It is really pretty simple!

I used N as everyday fight-ride for 3 years or so, certainly not easy (and it utterly fails against K4/Lgay) It's fun on the whole. Mind-numbingly slow climb-speed to 12k cruising alt is heap-big drag

Which is proven by the fact that I have more kills in the M than in any other Jug, and I've been here for five years and the M just for one

I have always loved the P47Numpty.  Even after the addition of the P47Monkey.  Why?  Just feels more comfortable to me for heavy jabo work, and I use fighters other than the P47Monkey for high alt work.

M DOES have this quirky "OK...the aerodynamic portion of our flight is temporarily suspended" thing at low speeds, kinda like A8.

[JOACH1M]

I fly N more because it won't hurt fighter score (ima score potato) but te M is alot better in most ways

[Noir]

isn't the N a better rolling plane? In any case the M got the crazy WEP wich is really needed to fight other late war monsterz

Same WEP in both

When you compare the N and M keep in mind the greater fuel capacity of the N. If you want to compare performance they should be at the same weight.

Boom & zoom the M, Bomber killer the M, attack ground targets, the N. Neither to me is a suitable fighter against anything other than newbs in TBM or SBD. IMO

Ditto for me too.  Long time jug driver.

Yeah, this has been rehashed so many times I don't really see a need for yet another thread.

N and M are nearly identical in performance. The N gives you an edge in a few areas (roll rate, wing area, lower stall speed) at the expense of a bit of extra weight.


ANYTHING you do in a 47M, you can do just as well in a 47N. Placebo effect and wishful thinking make folks claim it's the best
