My uncle and i experimented w/ planes and the P47s were one of them and my uncle noticed that the D27 Late liked to stall the most and handled the worst of them all....after he mentioned it I flew the different versions and kinda noticed it also.

There's some debate as to 6 or 8 gun P-47s in wartime use. The standard configuration was 8 guns but P-47s were some of the most field modified aircraft so I wouldn't be surprised at the removal of guns for increases elsewhere.
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.
