Reason: The lack of airbrakes on the P-47D-28 do not justify a 0.3 lower BR with it’s Italian and Chinese brothers, unlike the case seen with the P-38J-15 and P-38L-5-LO, the airbrakes on P-47s aren’t lifesavers and are very situational, even if they were, the airbrakes are basically decoration due to their small size and the sheer mass of the P-47.
I was very rarely killed from a cannon (shells take off without damage), but almost any machine gun kills this vehicle head-on. I speak mainly for RSV, I did not play in German. My main thought is that it doesn’t change much anyway, you can’t kill the vast majority of tanks, and there’s little point in breaking out barrels and harps except to piss off the enemy.
Once in a battle against the Germans or the Soviets, he will not be able to kill anyone.
Reason: The F8F could perfectly hold it’s own in 5.0, there was never a need to drop it to 4.7, the acceleration, climbrate, top speed (at sea level I may add), dogfight capability can still carry 4x 50cals to 5.0 and even with gunpods (not very aerodynamic) for a total of 8x 50cals the F8F-1 is still equal to the P-51D-30 and P-47D-30s (Italian and Chinese)
You can kill most tanks from the side, I don’t know if you are trying to ignore that or if you seriously are suggesting that not being able to penetrate frontally is a reason for these autocannon spam monsters to go down in BR
I’d argue for giving it a postwar fuel setting of 115/145 rather than the common 100/130 fuel setting. In other words, it will improve engine performance and flight performance. So it shall never go below 5.0 anymore.
Wasn’t D28 already on 100/150? There was a P-47M bug report that mentioned this - P-47M itself is on 100/130, and has lower engine performance than D28.
You can’t kill almost all Soviet tanks, and you can’t kill American tanks either, you cant kill ww2 tanks. And you’re going to continue to ignore the fact that these machines show the worst result among almost all tanks, 0.3-0.5 KD is not normal.
There was a report on all P-47’s but it was rejected because it would need BR adjustments (why bro just like move them up? Why do you sell 90 dollar crap then???)
Yes, that’s correct. D-28 runs on 100/150, and P-47M is stuck with 100/130.
Doesn’t make sense for the P-47M in this situation, as the P-47M fleet was stationed in England and given this fuel meant for to counter lethal German threats like the Me 262.
Ohh I thought you were replying to P47D28 suggestion and not F8F’s. The main issue with it is the ahistorical overheating - it suffered from overcooling at high speeds.
