P-47
Here is my take on it.
1st: It is one of my favorite WWII planes. It is 2nd to the P-40 for me.
XBox 330: The P-47 is what it is. It does best as a dive bomber. It drops like a rock, but be sure to give yourself time to pull out of the dive or you will crash it. It is pretty fast. I have flown it near 400 mph in WEP. Doesn't turn very tight, so for dog fighting, it isn't the best. If you are dog fighting, leave the bombs at home, or jettison them, it will do better. I do best dog fighting with a hit and run approach with it. Dive on someone, hit them, and run like hell out of there while climbing back to altitude before you turn around for another hit.
It's a fun plane to fly, and one of my favorites, altho not really a match for some of the more nimble fighters. I also love the D-Day paint theme. It has always been my favorite livery.
