    You did it again Requiem. You have a great knack for knowing what really need. Your P-47 content shows how to match and use the right tool for the right job. Maybe I'll understand why this fighter was so successful or why the famous 56th FG (all Jugs) refused to upgrade to P-51's.

    Great video. Hope to give these tips a try soon. I noticed you seem to be able to maintain about 2700 rpm during your flights in the p47. Any more tips about how to get the best performance from it?

  • @RequiemsACTL

    @RequiemsACTL

    5 жыл бұрын

    Well the 2700 RPM is the combat setting so it's only good for about 15 minutes or so. For best performance fly lazy (gentle on the stick with no high G turns), keep the oil shutter and intercooler at neutral with minimal cowl flaps.

    Could you maybe one day make a video regarding fighter bombing or assault plane bombing (like IL-2, Bf-110 etc)? Or even with Pe-2, not level bombing but low alt shallow dive bombing (The lines with degrees on Pe-2 some sort of guide for aiming?). Or these types of bombing in general. I don't understand how I am ever supposed to aim for a target. Is it pure guesstimate?

  • @RequiemsACTL

    Hey Roy, I like to try and model these ground attack videos off the actual procedures they used at the time. If you have any for those airplanes let me know and I can get on it. I'll look into creating some ground attack videos with those planes though. The lines on the Pe-2 show dive angles, so you would reference them initially in your dive with peripheral vision while you focus on the target. Knowing when to release can be kind of a guesstimate at times, but with practice it becomes an "educated" guesstimate and you can hit the target more often than not provided you consistently make your attacks in a similar way.

    Would be nice if you could make a low level bombing tutorial one day. Not persé for the P47 in particular but for fighters in general, you know, the trick where you drop your bomb when the target dissapears under your nose.
