Am I the only one seeing really bad artifacts in the video ik my wifi is good and I restarted twice is anyone else seeing that. Still really good so far
Boy did I especially enjoy this episode. My dad was a Pacific Theater veteran so he got to see both warbirds in his theater of operation. When I turned seven my dad got me 3 models 1/48 scale, a Zero, a P-38, and a Hellcat. Within a year I had added a P-47 to my collection. Within a couple years I had almost all WWII Pacific Theater fighters both American, and Japanese. I still have most of these over 50 years later. I always wondered which plane might be superior in a dogfight. You answered that question for me tonight, and I thank you.
In these times of fairly experienced simmers and fairly well detailed sims, it looks a bit weird a Hellcat with an unmistakably P-51 interior! BTW the F6F is on of my favorite mounts (that is to say, the plane in which i'm being shot down more often! 😅🤗)
Results are surprising only in that the P-47 did so well. The Hellcat was designed specifically to dogfight and beat the A6M Zero, which out-turned just about everything in the air back then. The F6F earned more kills than any other Allied aircraft in WWII despite the fact that it entered service well after the war began. The Bearcat, which followed it, was an even more awesome plane, but it was phased out quickly when jets came on the scene.
"I'm going to wear him down, force him in to an error." Cap talk for I cant lead a a gun shot! You had him on toast most of the fight! The Jug can't really win a dog fight with the Hellcat, thats not its game. I would say when in such situations myself I try to stay out of plane and force head on passes. A head on is 60-40 in the P47s favour.
Jug forte was high altitude escort duty, and its ability to take hits and bring the pilot home. It did not do low altitude ground attack until late in Europe when there was not much chance of enemy fighter attacks. It excelled in diving attacks.
@@CakePrincessCelestia Some? There is just a handful of mods that deserve to be flown at all, one of them preparing to get released as a module, the other one stays a mod as a matter of principle. And not a single decent prop plane mod in sight...
The heavier P-47's advantage would've been at high altitude where it's huge high-altitude supercharger rig would make a big difference in the thin air.
@@greybuckleton The terminology as used at the time was turbo-supercharger or turbine supercharger. It was considered and IS a supercharger, just one powered by exhaust gas rather than engine torque. This was just the additional turbo fitted in the fuselage, as the engine still had its integral geared supercharger.
@@gort8203 even now when they teach aircraft engines they talk of "Supercharging" with 3 sub catagories. Chemical-supercharger, turbo-supercharger, mechanical-supercharger. If you look at the powerplant from the P47 the turbocharger was massive. The assembly is so large it's what gave the plane it's shape. The small sequential supercharger in the engine doesn't do much of the work. The P47 had 300hp extra by 25,000 feet because of the turbo compared to twin supercharged aircraft.
The P-47 was designed to be a high-altitude bomber interceptor. It did well against German fighters when it could start above them, dive down on them, and then zoom climb back up. Going from level flight to a climb, it was outclassed by pretty much everything it went up against. Eventually, the P-47 was upgraded to have a propeller with wider blades, which greatly improved the climb rate of the Jug. This started somewhere in the P-47D variants, and by the time the P-47D-28 came out, all of the planes were built with the new propeller. My understanding is that the P-47 variants in the game are the P-47D-30 and the P-47D-40, both of which should have the upgraded propeller. So while the Thunderbolt may not climb as fast as you would like it to, it could very well be worse if you were using the original P-47B variant or the P-47C.
Nb. the second "F" in F6F isn't a submodel designation, but rather the manufacturer code for Grumman. It was made prior to the 1962 Tri-Service Aircraft Designation System, so the 1922-1961 fixed-wing Naval aircraft designation system was used, and it was kind of odd like that. It's why the F4F Wildcat and the F4U Corsair were completely different planes with zero relationship - the Wildcat was a fighter (F) that was the 4th (4) design from Grumman (F), and the Corsair was a fighter (F) that was the 4th (4) design from Vought (U). The different versions of the Hellcat were designated F6F-3, F6F-3E (with radar for night fighting), F6F-3N (a different night-fighting radar), F6F-5 (the variant the modders most likely used here with the 2200 HP engine), etc.

Again fighting on the deck, where the P-47 is out of its element. Of course F6F will turn better there, but take the fight up to 25,000 feet and the P-47 will have an advantage in sustained maneuverability.
@@felixx75 I agree, and I suspect this F6F not only had a P-51 cockpit but flew more like a P-51 than an F6F. But actually I'm not at all interested in these half-baked mods.

To win in a P-47 against a hellcat at low altitude... RUN home, hope your armor saves your unlucky skin. @ 30000 feet you've got options @20000 ft you've got a chance @10000ft pray you have a friend and he doesn't.

Overheating isn’t a problem if you don’t get slow ;) can run the engine at 61inches and 3000RPM for 15 minutes if you keep airspeed. 3000RPM and 60inches doubles that add WEP to the 61inches to get 65inches and you can run that for 5 minutes
@@FlyingWithSpurts i feel anything less then 200 you start to get some cooling problems, you can see this for yourself in sim. Just go into instant action and just perform nice gentle loops. As you get past the 1/4 mark in the loop when your airspeeds starts to bleed off watch the temperature gauges and you will see them start to increase quickly. especially the oil one which is why its good to manage your power a little at the top of the loop to lessen the temperature build up and gravity will help pull the nose round anyway. keeping around 250 is definatly a safe bet but you wont always be at 250 when performing vertical energy management manoeuvres
I've flat spun my P47 several times during the Wolf pack campaign. Very Frustrating! I've been looking for a p47 vs p51 fight on your channel bud haven't found it. If you haven't already done it I'd love to see that fight.
"Both use the professional flight model. The Hellcat uses the P-51's." Then it's not a professional flight model, dude. You can't just say it's modified from a totally different plane and call it professional. Yeeeeeesh.
A P-47 pilot would never leave the cowl flap open in flight under any circustance however have the oil cooler door fully open wouldnt cause to much extra drag most guys overheat the engine by not bringing back the manifold presure 1st before backing off the throttle with the supercharger in operation
some strange video glitches going on here but even the hellcat wasnt really a turn fighter none of the US ww2 birds are really all boom and zoomers as for how to win in a jug vs a hellcat id try to gain a little altitude to then gain enough speed in a dive to be able to go over the top and just use the jugs massive prop to pull and hold my nose up the cowls can be fully closed as the radial engine does a good job of cooling itself by default. then when the hellcat starts turning to avoid you, utilise the vertical to keep going up and coming down on him. tough fight for the jug though definatly give me a shout for a p51 vs K4 or p51 vs spitfire fight ;)
