Well, what about the Dive-Forty Seven?

only "run oh nine" that could really run in a bad situation is a K4. maybe a G14.

That must be a real poor 109 pilot, runnig from anything but a zeek/hurri/brew.

Spit XVI.

Spit XVI. 

lol The best thing to do against a spit 16 is to cut throttle and turn, esp downward rolling scissors. Most spit 16 pilots have not discovered that there is a throttle handle in the cockpit.

190s, yes. 109s, only the non 109 dweebs would dare to run.

That may be true, but it is not reflective of the airplane's capabilities.  Somebody who knows how to fight will be a significant threat to any Bf109 in a Spit XVI.

I luv turning with those. They gimme perks. Those who know how to fly, dont need the training wheels. Except when they wanna be the number one.
Btw f4us are much worse.

F4Us can't generate E for crap.  Once you're on top of one it is just a matter of time.  Something like a Bf109G-14, Bf109K-4, Spitfire Mk VIII, Spitfire Mk XVI or Ki-84 has the E generation to possibly get back in the game.

the 4-hog can generate e nicely

Yes, they do.  They are also, by far, the least likely to be encountered.  The others are as I described.

To anyone having any trouble with fighting 190 bounce while landing: besides trying to bring her down gently, begin retracting flaps imediatley before touching down and continue retracting fully after your wheels have touched down or until you feel your plane is now firmly on the ground. 

Unless you intend to re arm, leave the gear up... land at around 100 and belly in... slows you down quicker to avoid vulch

P-47s in the historical record were reputed to be tough birds. 

P-47s in Aces High take main fuel tank hits very easily, which unless you're flying the N, will leave you with whatever's left in your aux and your drop tanks to get back home (and you probably don't still have your drop tanks, and you probably never had gas in or already burned your aux).

The trademark move for an F4U when out of E is to lower flaps full down, possibly along with the landing gear, and turn in super small circles on the deck.
