47m vs 47n

[Ninthmessiah]

The difference with the smaller ammo package is about 400lbs.  That's nothing to scoff at.
 
I always take the 75% fuel and the 8x.50 small ammo package for hops that are only a sector away and I frequently land with less than 5min of fuel.  I fly the jug enough to notice the subtle differences.  The least subtle would be how the center of gravity moves to the nose when you don't have fuel in your aux tank.  Makes swinging the nose down at the tops of loops easier.

I found if I take the full load of ammo then use half of it on the first pass, I am at the perfect fighting weight.

If you ask this question on country channel, most responses will read like this.

The N is obviously better in all ways because M comes earlier in the alphabet than N.

You are all forgetting the best 47 fighter, the 47-11, it's a beast when it's light. I've killed many spits and corsairs in dogfights with the -11

Yeah....but it's slower, and without wingies, a challenging plane in the MA environment

Slower?! It is the FASTEST jug (without WEP, under 25k...)

[bj229r]

Pfft! N puts it away, AND, it compresses badly in dives. (At any rate, Spixteen catches D11, doesn't catch N?)

[Full Metal Jug]

D-25 is kinda pokey, but if I was to rank at the most potential:

Knife Fighters:
D-11, M, D-25 (Best of both worlds)

BnZ:
D-40, N, D-25

Deackers/Attackers:
D-40, N

Ea. are different in my opinion.

doesn't matter what fuel load out or ammo you take in a jug......it makes no matter to my KI84

















this is a small pun IE jab and not meant to be taken personal or insulting to any player person or plane

It dosen't matter which jug you take out.

First you simply have to throw yourself out there and get shot at for awhile. Jugs are not like spits which I've only met one player in all these years who couldn't fly them. Jugs require stick time before you can make them dance. Problem with giving them the proper amount of stick time, they get addictive becasue victories in them are so spectacular and satisfying. And so to is defeat when you let your guard down.

Long time ago I used to be YUCCA's squadmate. He would take me out in the bushes with the D40 and N to dance with spitfires on the deck, 25% fuel, dropper and all 8 guns fully loaded. We never climbed over 5k becasue we were trolling for spits. Some of the time I'd land with him. Much of the time I finaly got nailed and he'd land later with scalps from taking on 2-3 spits alone.

You gotta spend the time and get to know the Jug or everything in this post is meaningless. By the time it's meaningfull, you need to join Juggs Anonyumous. Looks like we have a number of JA members not yet recovered sharing in here.

Right now I'm pissed at Messiah because he caused me to relapse. I hate 3 v 1 in the bushes in a Jug.......I don't care if I won. It's the never ending conga line of all their freinds wanting a peice while HOing on every pass........and I'm stuck in the bushes with those ideots trying to get out of Dodge as the only green guy in the sector. Jugs are revenge magnets.....don't fly Jugs...everybody with a slingshot wants a peice of you once you can out fly the bottom feeders in their training wheel rides.

INK is sneeky. He flys the Ki84 and everybody expects it to be some uber stick and acts appropriatly. Show up in a Jug and everyone in the furball wants the fat kid becasue the fat kid is always the worst at everything........Messiah you CREEP!! I told you I hate Juggggs..........

if I was sneaky I would fly the 16....and shoot at people from 2K

See, that is where you are going wrong.  Fly your Jug but get a P38 driver as a wing-man to be  bait.  Pickers can't see the 47 with a 38 around.

What I miss about the 47 is that dive speed and that butt load of bullets.
