Salute to P47D25 drivers - good stats in a "difficult" plane.

Hehe, you know why the N1K now rates low?
Two-fold, rookies use them and when an enemy sees one, the conversation on RW goes like this: "N1K, Witch Witch, BURN IT!"

Naaaah D25 is a dweeb ride, real mastery is required with the D30.

I just do better in the 25 for some reason. I chalk it up to the green paint that sometimes lets me escape running low against the green landscape. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
The other thing is that lots of folks fly the D30 for A2G stuff. Most times I doubt people actually hit that Attack button, and it skews the D30's stats noticeably.

SHOOSH!
ammo has 82 kills and has been killed 26 times in the P-47-D25.

Hehehe.. take Hanzo and Drex out of the equation and the P-47-D25 is 1.39:1.
Drex accounts for over 25% of the D25 kills.
he's a dweeb (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

HEHEHEH I agree with frenchy (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
however... i dont think there is any real difference other than dive flaps. (Yes for those of u who remember me saying something to the contrary, i have changed my mind)

for some reason i do better in the d30 though. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

The cool thing about a p47 or similar plane,
is that it force you to fly smart, evaluate
the situation and pick your fights.
Though I'm sure some pilots can dogfight in
it, i prefer not to.
I usually fly a lot of different planes, and
get roughly 1-1.5 score. This tour however
I've only flown the typhoon, and guess what,
because it also force u to think, I suddenly
got a 1-6 in my favour. The few times I've
flown the p47 i usually do 1-3.

whohoo I could troll some P47 pilots there
I'm proud of myself <gnacgnac>.
D25 is lighter for sure, probably a bit more manoeuverable. It's dark too, makes it harder to track when dogfighting low and especially when darkness starts.
But it's sure still not a girly plane.
I think in the P47 population, without really knowing why, you prefer one or the other. I always fly the D30 and I start to scream for help to Ammo when he forces me to fly the D25. It's probably habit, superstition and fetishism. Dive flaps, I don't really care, maybe the square gunseight, maybe the manifold pressure who's higher... who knows.
One thing is sure, when you fly the P47, u need to think ahead, and more over if you need to disengage. No point nose down and run, no I outturn you anyway.
The p47 is awsome as a trainer, when I fly other planes like P38s, P51s, yaks, LAs ...wohooo they feel so light!!! You have the feeling you can do anything. The other day I couldn't hit with a P38 in a turnfight, the nose was too sensitive for me. I'm not even talking about fighting in a niki/spit, it's "point and click" compared to P47 (no insult there, just a comparaison).
Anyway, maybe if the D25 would had been with Gabresky's camo, I would had cherish the D25 instead of the D30 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
