It's the same code for the .50cals in the P-47 but having 8 definitely is more destructive than 4 or 6. I haven't noticed any difference in handling between the D-27 and the D Late. They are supposed to be the same with the D Late having a tweaked engine for higher performance (supposedly near M levels).
The P-47 can be flown successfully on some dogfight servers with only 25% fuel. That can also be offset by using fuel tanks plus the 25% fuel option. It handles much better without the extra fuel weighing it down. Like most US aircraft the P-47 carries substantial internal fuel and has better range than many of the German and Russian aircraft that have very short ranges.
