Oscar19681 Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 I was wondering, how come for example a FW-190 can outrun me 9 out of 10 times while the P-47 has a better top speed? For the P-51 it’s not a problem at all to close the distance, while it’s slightly slower then the P-47..
Mollotin Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 altitude, acceleration and initial speeds of both aircraft has lot to do with these situations
41Sqn_Skipper Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 This post contains top speed graphs for P51 and P47. According to it, the P51 is clearly 30-40km/h faster than a P47 at most altitutes. That difference is considerable and enough to be noticable in combat.
Art-J Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) Also, combination of engine/oil radiator/intercooler gills and turbo lever has a very noticeable impact on P-47 speed. There was a recent thread somewhere here with a video showing how to operate these to maximize performance, but I can't find it now. Edited March 12, 2020 by Art-J
69th_Mobile_BBQ Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Greg's Airplanes and Automobiles YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCynGrIaI5vsJQgHJAIp9oSg has a 5 part series on the P-47. If I remember correctly, somewhere in the videos it is said that running the engine temperatures lower than optimum levels will cause a rather large loss of horsepower. If it truly is modelled in-game, make sure to keep all the temps at the correct level. The temp gauges should all have markers on them to show the right ranges to keep the levels at.

Dora is faster on the deck and the A-8 is roughly equally fast on the deck. But you can outrun both high up. But like others said... if you have to accelerate things arent so easy. The 47 is heavy
