My impressions so far vs the N:
The M feels much more floaty, the N much more linear
The N I feel is better suited for pure BnZ
The M and N are about equal in E fights as long as you are more gentle on the controls if in an M)
The M definately turns better at high speeds, but burns off E quicker because of it, almost deceptively so
I'd take up the N over the M for pure lone-wolf flying and working the edges of a horde
I'd take up the M over the N for knife fighting
If I was in a situation that I needed to cause an overshoots, I'd rather be in an N
If I was caught slow vs more than one con above 6000ft I'd prefer the N, below 6000ft I'd prefer the M
I'd rather rolling scissor in the N than M
If I was forced to stall fight, I'd rather be in the M
If I was hunting buffs, I'd much rather be in an N, it's more linear flying makes it much easier to line up those 800-1k cockpit shots or wing root shots on b24s
Survivability IMO goes to the N; the way it handles helps you conserve E much easier
For someone who wants to start flying jugs I'd tell them to start with the N, it's much better at teaching you the limitations of a jug than the M.
I'd suggest the M for folks more experienced in the 47 planeset
In the end though, they are both jugs. You have to really be conscious of your E state and keep your SA up. People tend to dive on low jugs almost as much as a 110 or similar plane for an easy kill. 47 series is a set you need to fly with some patience because once wep runs out you are in trouble if caught slow.
It feels closest to me(please be gentle SAPPers) that the M is to the 38g as the N is to the 38L.
Overall I am very, very happy with the addition of a new jug, has been my main ride for years now and I have no regrets about keeping my account active even if I stopped playing for 6+ months at a time. HTC really showed the jug pilots some love and it's muchly appreciated!
