P47-M

[lunatic1]

if there is 1 plane that should be perked it is the P-47M.it seems to be more of a killer now than it did in AH2. it seems to be able to whip anything in the air, except the 262 and the 163.
I don't know if is just me, I'm not the best pilot in the game but I'm not the worse either.
your ideas please. and please don't flame me, unless you have to. thankyou

It is like flying a shotgun, but would that that would mean perking the 51, Ki84, spit 16, La7 and yak3? 

From the perk GV scaling, you would have a good point to perk more planes since in  GVs, the perk level dips down lower in the vehicle pool.

I am all for perking it for 1 point. The only reason is that it is a rare late war model that made the D's go extinct except for the role of bomb trucks.

I know a guy that says he thinks he heard someone say HT will perk it on the same game patch he is going to perk the 3-gun La7.

I still smoke them with my B17 turrets just the same...

47s cannot turn...They are worthless in the vert unless they are going mach 6...

The 51 and ki84 don't need perked, 51 isn't as widely used as it once was and the 84 is a flaming wreck if hit. Spit 16, la7, 47m should have small perks....like 5. Yak3 either needs a small perk or just be a 5 eny plane. I don't think the yak really needs perked because of the limited ammo load. The Star Trek warp motor is another story just like the spit16.

You could say the same about the F4U-1A and 1D.  The former is used in much the same way as a 47M and far more dangerous.

1a and 1d are both 12 eny. Now i think the 1a should be a 5 eny bird. And a small perk wouldn't be terrible but the 1d is just a bomb truck from a carrier.

Where is Lusche when you need him? What is the Mary models k/d in comparison to other Low Eny planes? That is the best way to tell if it is due for for a perk or not.

Not when I fight them.  K4 pilot.   

[waystin2]

Of all the ENY 5 planes the Mary model had the best non perks k/d ratio last tour. Even better than the Pony, Spit and LA7. Hmmmmmm....

Well a quarter of them belongs to just one squad       

[icepac]

Aren't they the preferred ride for high altitude bomber interception?

That might skew the numbers a bit.

Kudos to the 56th!

The performance margin between the 1, 1A, and 1D isn't significant enough to justify perking the 1A or 1D. The 1A is only faster than the 1 by a few mph. It does have gains in climb and acceleration, but that's still only enough to put it middle of the pack rather than bottom of the heap. She's certainly the best pure dogfighter of the 1-series Hogs, but the difference isn't all THAT big.

Contrast the -4, which is basically a rocket by comparison.
