Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:


  • Decent altitude performance coupled with high rate of climb and long boost allows it to terrorize heavy fighters and bombers
  • Guns don't overheat and have high DPS, so this thing can down bomber flights solo
  • Lots of ordnance, and it reloads relatively quickly


Cons:


  • Meh maneuverability
  • Lack of gun range hurts when coupled with the subpar maneuverability
  • Doesn't really go fast enough to escape US and German fighters


Performance

This plane is a modest upgrade from the P-47N, with slightly stronger rockets, somewhat stronger guns (though with two fewer of them), and slightly faster speed. Unfortunately, its enemies are significantly stronger, and usually have the altitude performance to keep up with you at any height. Therefore, you must be very careful when picking your fights. Lone bombers and attack aircraft are always a top priority. Don't be afraid to abuse your high roll rate to switch targets, since you probably won't get a second pass on them.


Early Research

  • You should already have the 500 pound bombs from the XP-44.
  • First, research the .50 M3 guns for a significant boost in firepower.
  • Research the HVAR Mk. 25 next for more ordnance.
  • Research all of the engines for better climb rate.
  • Last, research the second airframe.
