the p47 is great though i can take out 3 b17s with the same p47 whilst sitting on there six and reciving loads of fire

Sorry my fault i didnt explain well enough it was assuming you had height over your enemy. Dive down on him and get the bullets into him, this is where your speed comes from.

Which is why you make sure your shots count

Joking aside -

The P47 wasnt all that bad in a climb, sure the earlier models were which is why to evade the luftwaffe used to go into a steep climb, but as the later models came out (this game depicts a D) they had a fairly good rate of climb, and a superb roll rate. And above 30,000ft they were quite nimble

though they were not the dogfighter - the P51 was around for that. This "jug" was good at ground attack, thats where she belongs

its what i use her for.

I unlocked it by giving the playstation store $9.99
The DLC came with the Jug, and a few more single play missions. I love the plane, but the lack of missions for it is a bummer. This game would be a gold mine if it had a simple mission editor. Anyways.......

I think only pre-orders received the Jug for free.

Whoa what DLC? I thought we were waiting on this??? I know the patch is out and yes after my next mission I unlocked a bunch of stuff but not P-47. Do I have to go to the PS store? Are the German cockpits there?

Yup what you're looking for is at the PS store! I'm debating if getting the P-47 and a few extra missions is worth $9.99 myself...

You know Ive never had a proper dogfight at 30,000 ft in this game, not even in training. I will have to try it sometime, the P47 could be the best plane at that hight in this game and only a few people would ever know it.
