My FW190 rant

Don't feel sorry about not having the P-47 to dogfight with... you'd be kind of disappointed.

Why has that been botched too? I mean I know it's a heavier plane, but I assuming it could still get the job done ( a la the IL-2). Real P-47's have had good success in dogfights have they not?

it has 0% capabilitys to dogfight. really.. it is nice in CTA and strike, but in dogfight, you will lose for sure even against an enemy 3x as bad as you

Probably the same problem as the P-51, not sure if the P-47 had the same huge fuel tanks though. I guess if you can get kills with the IL-2 (note: not IL-2M ) you can get kills with the P-47 as well. You'll just have to avoid turning. The good thing about the P-47 is that it has pretty good guns, and very nice armor.

Well I can handle myself pretty well in a normal IL2, however I'll say the turret of the IL2M is a nice emergency procedure for when your being double teamed by a couple of 109's.

It doesn't really matter though, I'm not forking over $10 for one plane (as much as I'd love to rain bombs 1000lb bombs on unsuspecting planes in CTA). But uh let's not start another thread about overpriced DLC.

And the ultimate irony is that the P-47 was designed by Russians!

That's only ironic if you're one of those people who believe Gaijin's anti-american and plans to detonate a nuke in the US.

HA I knew the end of the cold war was just a dirty Soviet trick!

this is even funnier in spanish!


I don't believe that but it couldn't it be ironic becuase Russian game devs unintentionally nerfed a russian designed plan?
