until you post something exact, theres no apellata!
anyway a light jug can climb. just saying.


Exactly.

D40 even outclimbs a P-51 in areas:



He's probably hauling back on the stick right after takeoff with bombs and/or rockets under the wings and full fuel and complaining that it can't climb.

Oh, and even the lackluster D-25 climbs as well as the P-51:



And let's not even get into the P-47N (light) and M!




P.S. those are in-game stats. That's what we have right now 4prop.

What's cute is you think that's 1) a defense, 2) an attack 3) relevant. MY posts are not in question here. Your attempt to post pad IS. See the difference? I'm not post count padding. You are.
in over 24k post im  sure  a  few of them may have possibly beeen viewed  as padding to some people, also what would happen if the  47 had the correct prop blade on it   how would that effect the climbrate(assuming other planes  do have this  prop and it is already modeled) Prop those  charts from ingame  do they look like the charts you saw out of  game maybe the  prop is  purely cosmetic in this case.  Back on point guys

The P-47M has a MONSTER WEP, that is for certain. I was looking at that last night. I rarely fly the 47 but was getting tempted last night. Might be fun to fight it above 25k to see how well it goes. How mushy is the 47M at high alts, high speed and WEP aside? Do you spend most of the time with one notch of flaps?

Discuss!

I dont fly the M much. I dont like the way it handles. It almost seems like the airframe is to small for the engine. 47s are good at high alt and can almost (if not better) roll faster then a 190D-9 at high speeds.
jugs can climb good but once a fight starts it seems like its outclassed when it comes to climbing with an opponent with same E levels.

Uh, no! That'd be terrible. You don't fly at 1 notch! No more than you would at 1K!

It handles better than most simply because it has more horsepower. Up at alts the biggest problems are loss in alt with manuvers and the lack of ability to nose up. The 47s have better high alt power (the lift isn't so much the issue, it's this power that's the issue) so that can do more with better ease. I'm not saying it flies like it's on the deck, but it does handle better than many others.
