That would probably be more acurate.

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

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.

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???

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

Thanks for the post Goat, not got the DLC yet but I will be doing as soon as I get the kids to bed. See you all in the skies.

Picked it up last night. P47 is a bit of a trick. The guns are great, if you got in front of me I could shred you to ribbons, but it does turn like a truck so I had to hit and run to use it.

Also ate the ground a few times as pulling out from a dive takes quite a bit longer then you'd think! Also stalls at some rather high speeds if you try and force a tight turn. It's a fun change of pace from my La-7!

Are you basing this off previous experience in IL2 1946?

Just curious because it flew fine - though I will say most people never loaded the plane with more than 25% fuel online.

I wonder if it's the extra fuel weight in BOP messing with us.

yes I am . I started to use the P-47 quite a lot in 1946, because it was a nice fighter bomber. You would get outturned by La's and spits for sure, but against a rookie, you could do more than just fine. The P-47 without bombs/rockets in BOP, flies like the P-47 in 1946 with full fuel and all extra armament.

Its sad , it is such a nice plane, and it does not deserve this . I really hope the fix of the P-51 (the full fuel tanks), will also apply to other aircraft like the P-47, fw190 etc.

Well, in the UK its £8 on the PSN Store which going with the current exchange rate is $12.86. Bit of a joke really, seems as though Sony dropped a b*****k with this one.

$5 would be a little more than £3, which I would would pay for a hour or two of new missions, for this particular game.

edit: I'm still hoping its a mistake on the psn blog, and that its going to show up for a lot less when it appears on the store later today.
