Art Fielder discusses compressibility in the P-47 during a chat I had with him a few years back. Great story too :)

When loaded to the brim (2500lbs and six Bazookas), she feels every ounce of it, but she still zooms quite nicely.

When the weight goes down, a little more liveliness comes into her and she indeed feels quite nicely.

 

You'll have a lot of fun with her, plinking targets on the ground. Aiming the Bazookas is another story, though.

Just had a loco eat a whole volley and it worked. Don't try this at home, though - I was looking up to see the squirrels fly by my canopy during the pull-out.

Man, too bad the P-47 falls apart after a handful of cannon hits just like any other airplane in the game ?

I'm quite happy to see multiplayer latency and such getting some love, hopefully it will make the experience better.

I just tried the P47, while it does need a bit of work, I think the engine sounds are off and the FM needs tuning as far as thrust and such. I'm still in love with it. As far as the damage, I just had my right wing taken off by AAA and the thing still flew. If I hadn't gotten hit a second time where it disabled my stab controls, I would have been able to nurse it home for a landing. I think the damage model is spot on.

I don't know if this is the new DM or if it has already been in the game, but it turns out that my previous "glass cannon" comment was due to flak touching off one of my 1000 pounders...while the bomb was still attached to my wing!

Don't forget that you can link the prop RPM and turbo levers with the throttle. :) 

@LukeFF forgive the dumb question.... but how do I link the levers?

There are new keyboard commands in the engine management section. At work right now, so I don't recall what they are.

Left_shift + I and left_alt + I by default i think.

Hopefully also they will update the Aircraft Flight and Technical Specs & Operational Details for the new planes before too long.

I was able to saw P-47 wing off with few hits from my 109 mg's only...maybe i was lucky, or DM is still wip. Needs more testing.

 

Loving the K4. Performance seems to be close to DCS K4, as expected. Graphically DCS K4 still have upper hand.

 

As said already, VR performance is better than before. Great! Many thanks for the update!

Not sure if this is a long standing bug or not but  7 Pfalz vs 7 Camels Kuban summer when spawning there is no player aircraft, nor in the hanger.

Ooh  that sounds good, looking forward to getting to try it out.

Great update I am surprised how much I like the K4 and the P47 is a beast ? ! However I am kinda disappointed the Spit still does not have +25lb boost... It is now even more redundant in the BoOP plane set.. :( 

(You guys gave the k4 its super engine why doesn't the spit have its normal one...)

P-47 is beautiful, but feels underwhelming performance-wise. I'm sure it's user error, but up against Fw190A8 bots I can't seem to match climb or turn perf. Seems like that match would be slightly in the Thunderbolt's favor. But again, I'm probably not getting all I can out of the Pratt and Whitney just yet. 

 

I have done just few quick tests flying the Jug but managed to run faster than the Spit IX (by 20km/h) on the deck, already. You need to spin up the turbo a little for extra boost, engage the water injection (the boost key bind does it) and keep the inter-cooler temps (done by the "inlet cowl" binding) in the yellow middle of the gauge in the right upper corner of dashboard.

 

Of course this is hardly fastest deck speed for BOBP planes but no the worst and I have to try reduced fuel and 6/4 guns mods, yet.

P47 can withstand multiple 30mm rounds. Its destroyed most of the time(or pilot is killed), but everything holds together.

I think that durability its ok maybe to much.

 

K4 is excellent, less maneuverable but faster then G14.

 

Only drawback is the AI of the boom and zoom planes like P47.

Its cannon fodder for the Bf109 even for Fw190A8

Thanks for the update, for me improvement of the AI is best news

I have found a serious negative issue with the P-47.

 

It's so big and lovely, the best way to get a view of it is chase it. And then you end up shooting it down. It's very sad.  :sorry:

I know, but as i wrote it seems to be quite easy to shoot down with machine guns only.

I'd actually forgotten how much fun I used to have in RoF. The Pfalz is just brilliant, just spent a couple of hours dogfighting with Camels! And that pilot model in exterior view, just wow!

So Far the Jug is fab, a heavy girl but awesome! ? one question though.... (and thanks for the info on linking the throttle levers) there is a red turbine warning light in the cockpit, it's either on all the time or it flashes.... (screenshot attached) I have messed about with intercooler settings and supercharger/turbocharger settings.... but the light is always on. What am I doing wrong? Once again forgive the ignorance of this old guy.

so really liking this new update especially when on the ground in a tank you notice the new damage model on the "simple" vehicles. knocked the axle of a truck with my mg fire beore getting killed by tank rounds.

according to the old training vid the light represents the overspeed turbo when it's hitting 18250 rpms or something. Reduce the turbo spin and the light will go down to flashing only (preferred at hight altitude) or no light with low spin.

Woohoo, the Jug and K4! Fantastic, and MP code improvements is fantastic as well! :) 

 

Has the Fw190 A8's crazy heat issue been fixed? 

 

It had been reported by players and testers as well, I don't see it in the patch notes - maybe next patch? Crossing fingers, hoping for the best.

It‘s on the list for things to fix in the future. As you can see 3.007 was already a gigantic patch

I do apologize. 

It took me only 2 seconds to blow up the engine on the K4 during take off. 

Sorry ?

That is fantastic news, thank you mate ;)

 

Can now fully enjoy the patch. It's great how the older players without the newer game editions benefit again and again from the advancements of the new expansions/game updates in graphics, physics, sounds, code, campaigns, service, et cetera.

 

Anyone who hasn't gotten BoBP yet, may really want to consider ordering it as well.

Great stuff!!

Thanks for the hard work team :)


I see that the AI keeps formation "a bit better" has anyone checked out yet what that means? Is it finally over that the one plane flyes way too far in front ant the other three wouln'd keep up?

Well, I don't see where the problem is - P47's default armament is 8 gun barrel (4 for each wing) - if you select 4 guns then this means 2 gun barrel for each wing and

so you will only see the two inner barrels - the two outer barrels are removed. The 4 barrels per wing are not aligned in a row, but installed offset.

 

Oh, got it. OK. Thanks to all.
