Very good video. One question, I fly modern dcs and want to buy a first ww2 aircraft, visually I like a loot the p-47, much more than than the p-51. Which one would you recommend and why? Is it true that the p-47 for A2A is not very good? I was told that it is slow to turn? Have you flown the P-51? How do you compare them. Thanks you very much
TL;DR: No, I don't think the P-47 is worse at A2A than P-51. The main difference between them is: P-51 is easier to fly but P-47 is more versatile. In my experience, for A2A the Jug is a "jack-of-all-trades, master of none" type of plane. it turns ok (I think it turns better than P-51 but I'm not 100% certain) but not nearly as good as the Spit. It's also fast, but not as fast as the Mustang (I did some testing and the speed was comparable at sea level but the Jug was slower at 35k - 210mph CAS vs 220). On the other hand, the P-51 seems more of an energy fighter than the Jug, but to be honest, I have very limited experience with the plane - only used it during the "free period" of DCS. Also, P-47 has more firepower and is much more survivable than the P-51, but on the other hand, engine management requires more attention (you need to be very careful not to overboost the engine and not windmill the prop during dives the radial engine can die very quickly if you windmill the prop).
