Jug is Handi-capped
« on: August 10, 2007, 12:34:41 PM »
Facts:

the jug could almost climb at fast as the 109..

the jug had more horsepower, and more speed than just about any plane out there- thats 2x the horsepower of a mustang HTC

the jug was the highest produced plane ever for a reason- they were that good.. flexible.. and fast.. just burned gas like an LA-7

the reason why the mustang began to dominate was it had a longer range so flew more escorts and thus a greater kill ratio, while the jug went on to dive bomb and destroy convoys, and still walked out of combat with a 6:1 while engaged heavy


depending on convergence- 8 50cals will always outperform 2 20mm, they are 4 times as likely to hit something vital and have enough power to get the job done.. its like comparing a a 12 gauge shotgun to 2 shots from a 9 mm. Not to mention the 50's put more ammo out faster and thus could do much greater damage that a 20mm over a given time.. I have shot a real 50 cal machine gun of the side of a missle cruiser.. they abosulety tear crap up an go through ammo a little faster than you have it set at.. even and AK-47 puts out 13.3 rounds a second

Better put on your Nomex underwear.

Maybe he's talking about a different Jug :rolleyes:

AFAIK the Mustang produced about 1700 HP...whereas the P47 had
about 2300 HP..a touch short of 2x.

Anyone?

Uriel,

How about some stats from a reliable source to back up these statements about horsepower/speed/climb rate ?
