Cherry picked data does not make for good representation.

[-ammo-]

Johnson's incident is well known, and there are other stories testifying of the P-47's ruggedness.  I would argue that it is pretty well represented in AH given the damage model.

I'd say it's one of the tougher models in the game.  It's the only plane in the game I know of where an oil leak means I should probably only stick around in enemy airspace for a few more minutes before RTBing, rather than immediately RTBing if I want to make it.

There are some anomalies in AH though (IMO).  There are a couple of AC that I think the damage model is inaccurate based on what I have read and perceive.  But that has nothing to do with the P-47 so I digress

Imo the A-20's damage model is absolute crap. Hose it down with hispanos, and a flap falls off if you're lucky.

190F also seems damn near impervious to ack.

You're not a very good shot if you fail to bring down a Havoc after 'hosing it down with Hispanos'.

ack-ack

     Maybe he should switch to Brownings?

Question to ask is if the jugs known to survive huge amount of damage were hit with 30 cal or larger rounds?

[Randy1]

The P-47 can make three passes on a full up small air field without major damage albeit I would rather not make that third pass.  Of course there are exceptions to this.

Oh?  I've no issue bringing down an A-20 when I'm in the A6M3.  As for the 190F?  Seriously???  A fart in the wind on the OTHER side of the map and I get a PW.  Ack???  HA!  Always seems to me that if it so much as looks in my direction, I'm missing a wing already.


As for the P-47, I have taken hits that normally sent me to the tower in just about every other attacker.  Swear the thing is tougher than the Il-2...

I have no issue using my F4U's or P47's to bring down an A-20 in a single pass. The 190F isn't exactly tough either, the wings are easier to rip off than a wish bone.

Some can take a tater  
The worst is TBM's

Ya know....if ya haven't seen the video, do.  If ya have....that German...he can see the P47 is crippled and not only tries to get a cheap kill but has the audacity to pull up alongside to see the man he's about to try and kill!
3 times!

I'd have shot the P'tach (damn swear filter) with my sidearm.  And then spat at him and made every rude gesture you can think of.

Exactly.  I've seen quite a few people (not the OP) refer to this incident as some form of chivalry with Egon Mayer wagging his wings in salute to Johnson and flying off when it was anything but.  If Mayer still had rounds, especially cannon rounds, he would have kept firing until Johnson was dead.  It was Mayer's running out of ammo that saved Johnson's life.
