Tomsk Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Probably because in real life they could. At lower altitudes the FW had the advantage in acceleration speed and roll. Yes but not in diving ability, although the FW-190 was also an excellent diver. Not quite as heavy as the P-47 but a bit more aerodynamic. The Bf 109 however was not a great diver. As I understand it quite a few planes could keep with the P-47 in the initial stages of a dive, but nothing could really keep with it when it got going.

RAZBAM_ELMO Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Yeah well have to wait and see when it comes along. All that really defeats my dora is when the stang does a rolling climb. That if the stang has enough energy I cannot keep up with. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane.

DSR_T-800 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Probably because in real life they could. At lower altitudes the FW had the advantage in acceleration speed and roll. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk Highly doubt an Anton could dive with a P-47 unless at a very low altitude. When it comes to diving the P-47 should be ≥ the P-51. The speed and dive advantage will be diminish because of the highly unrealistic late war opponents. However at high altitude the P-47 should still remain king. DCS needs B-17/B-24 escort missions for the P-51 and P-47. German pilots have had their fun with pointless low altitude turn and burn dogfights :). http://i.imgur.com/LYvIQFB.gifv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZBAM_ELMO Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Agreed. The jug will be the dive queen. If and when the Normandy map comes to fruition the 17 24 25 and 29 needs to be part of the sim. Hopefully it is accurate because there are quite a lot of 47s still flying with many registered aerobatic pilots.

Hopefully it is accurate because there are quite a lot of 47s still flying with many registered aerobatic pilots. I'm really looking forward to seeing the P-47 in DCS. It's one of my favourite planes of all time, and it's contribution was very much underrated. You can make a strong argument that it was the P-47 (mostly the razorback versions) that really broke the Luftwaffe, by the time the P-51 arrived on the scene in force the Allies already had largely won air-superiority. Fantastic BnZ plane, dives and zooms like crazy, unmatched performance at high altitude, excellent high speed manoeuvrability, great armament, tough construction. As you say there are plenty still flying so knowing ED it will likely be an incredibly faithful representation.

Friedrich-4B Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]************************************* Fortunately, Mk IX is slightly stable, anyway, the required stick travel is not high... but nothing extraordinary. Very pleasant to fly, very controllable, predictable and steady. We never refuse to correct something that was found outside ED if it is really proven...But we never will follow some "experts" who think that only they are the greatest aerodynamic guru with a secret knowledge. :smartass: WWII AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSR_T-800 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 They probably haven't touched it since they put it on the shelf to work on the more well documented Spitfire IX. I'm sure more research has to be done on the P-47 as they were lacking in wind tunneling data. http://i.imgur.com/LYvIQFB.gifv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
