Hey guys its your favorite new American pilot lol. Anyways ive grown to love flying the P-47 even more then the Mustang, so i was wondering if I can get some tips. Now ive mainly done realistic, but im starting to get use to playing sim and im loving it. I try to imply Boom and Zoom mainly coming in from a steep dive with an enemy running perpendicular to my position. followed my a 45 degree turn in dive to either rittle the fuselage with my 8 .50 cal mg's or to get behind and light the poor guy up, Ive also been in a few turn fights and did okey.
Maybe its the slower turn speed that gives me alittle advantage at time.
sO ANYWAYS i WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS ANYMORE TACTICS TO BE TAUGHT OR TO LEARN?

The thunderbolt has a very quick roll rate, much quicker than the mustang, hurricane or 109. This means rolling scissors should work quite well if you get someone on your tail. You certainly wont be able to break away from them by just turning.
