Do you think it can stand its own in a sim team dogfight? Or is it inferior in every single way? can you compare it to the 109 g-10 (or g-2) and to the spit. And tell me if it has a chance against them, and what would be it strengths and weaknesses.

(im waiting for my MS point to arrive, and I want to know if the P-47 is going to make me a bit happy).

Strengths: 8 .50 cals., and diving. That's it.

Weakness: Everything else.

You may could pull some kills off by finding enemies who are occupied with others. I can almost guarantee your deaths would be higher. It just can't compete in a turn fight. And unfortunately, that's what 90% of BOP dogfights are.

On a scale of 1 to 10. If a spit turns like a 8, a bf109 like a 6. what would the p-47 be?

Goat, did you ever fly the 109 g-10? if yes, is it slower + worse turning than that one?

the patch might give the P-47 more chance, because of the blackouts in continuous turns... i hope

That would probably be more acurate.

I'm wondering if it can out turn an FW at low altitudes.

One strength for the P47 :

He can handle a lot of damages. I met a P47 one times and I put so many holes in that planes that I was almost able to see through the plane, although it was still flying.

That's the Perfect training target plane

Was that YOU that I flew against the first time I got that plane???

[Benrizz]

I would have liked putting holes in your brand new airplane

But unfortunately that it wasn't me

P-47 in one word: ridiculous

If this was really how it flew.. no way any pilots could ever make a kill in dogfight
