Ok cool. I can't wait to fly this thing even if it's outclassed, I'm gonna enjoy bouncing unsuspecting pilots, and diving away when I'm at a disadvantage. Also even though the k4 is faster at most altitudes, how maneuverable is it high up? I've read that the 47 could maneuver very well up high.

Thanks for this. Definitely helps when comparing speed vs altitude of each aircraft. If I'm reading that graph correctly it looks like the 47 is faster than most higher up, corrct me if I'm wrong as I'm not very good at reading graphs.

Roll and dive, problem solved imo. Besides, I doubt I'll see any germans at that altitude. The P-47s strength is in its roll and dive speeds, so I'll be useing every advantage I have when flying the Tbolt. I think if they do an accurate dmg model that reflects the Tbolts durability and if pilots use her strengths i think the german pilots will have a difficult time in taking her down, but we will see.

Interesting, I've read and seen videos of P-47s shooting down Me-262s but never a K4 or Dora.

Altitude(ft.).Speed(mph)/Climb(fpm) S.L.......345/3,180 10,000.383/2,920 20,000.417/2,470 32,000.435/1,100 I think this is the proper specs for the D-30, either way it will be hard beat it at altitude. I dont know the speeds of the Dora or 109K so if someone could post those for a better comparison that would be great.

I'm not expecting the 47 to be unstoppable but I am expecting it to be hard to take down. I've seen pictures of 47s after they've been hit by 88s or had a few cylinders knocked out and it still made it home. Thats the kind of durability I want to see in game. I agree that we need some bombers of some kind to escort, that way we can use the 47 and 51s strengths. Also, does anyone know what kind of ground targets we'll get in ww2? I'm hoping for some trains, tanks, convoys, and buildings to take out. And of course some airfields with german bombers or something. I think people underestimate the P-47s dog-fighting capabilities, of course she never went up against the 109k or 190d as far as I know. For this line up I'd say the P47n is a better match but I'm happy being in the d model.

I'll be your wingman if you want, Just add me on steam if you use it. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198012600268/ I'm not good at dog-fighting as I'm still learning, but I think if I have someone to fly with I'd learn faster.

I thought they actually had a real P-47 and that they were using it to gather data. Couldn't they just build a accurate model and do wind tunnel test themselves? I don't know how much work that would require but it seems possible. I just hope to see her soon, and hopefully she gets worked on more once the spit comes out. I hope they do her dmg model well, I've read that the Tbolt was a tough bird. And I don't think she will be too outclassed, you just have to use her properly, I've read that nothing could rival the 47 at high altitude. All around she's a good dogfighter.

I really hope we don't have to wait another year for the Thunderbolt, it would be very disappointing seeing as we've been waiting for a few years already.

I hope the P-47 will be released this year. She's my favorite aircraft of WW2 and I've dreamed of flying her for a long time, this module is the closest I'll ever get to flying the real thing so I'm pretty excited for it's release. I wonder how far along in development it is? I hope it won't be much longer, but I'm willing to wait for a great product
