Currently at 4.7 in the U.S. air tech tree and just have a recurring issue of fighting japanese planes. I try to b & z them but they turn and I'm forced to climb away. I can never seem to stall them out and if I try and play the game slowly they start hitting ground targets forcing me to fight. Just wondering if there's something I should do/if it's a skill issue?

ahh zeros are always hard to deal with for the us
always have an altitude advantage over zeros, never fight on equal ground
b n z is the definitely the way to go
it can take a long while though
make multiple passes until the zero is too slow to dodge
never go straight up after a dive, always extend for a bit before reclimbing

I feel like in my p47 it's just so rough b n zing on japanese planes

Like they make a slight adjustment and I can't follow
N-15
Which was built for the pacific

ofc the p47n is one of the worst planes at that br
probably the worst actually
just dont play it, its not fun

oh 🤦♂️

oh 🤦♂️
i just dont go for zeros unless they are the only one left they are too much work tbh
but if you have to i agree with dogtherock just BnZ untill they cant do anything anymore

No it’s not
It’s actually better than all jap planes if played right
All American props are faster than Japanese props
Take this from someone who has Japan to 7.7 air
And they can’t gain speed in a dive for anything
If it’s a zero just run
If it’s a j2m just turn, unless it’s a j2m2 or your in something like a p47
J2m has crazy engine power but isn’t the fastest either
Ofc I’m talking about a normal takeoff and climb map, not a 1v1 duel map.
And J2m’s lockup hard above 350MPH so they’re not the best for BNZ

the p47s are great, but have kind of fallen out of the meta, like you said, you get forced to fight, because of the lawn mowing, you can't play too slow, but also given you're in the p47 you can't be too fast, although against a zero, your p47s armament is better on it's own compared to the zero, the zero is weak, and it kind of has to get close to even do anything, your p47s .50s have the range, and on tracer belts they are flamethrowers, and can easily pilot snipe at that, I recommend trying to shoot them down at further ranges, or head ons but of course not over committing to it, I've tended to notice that zero pilots will almost always pull out of it when they see the huge amount of tracers coming towards them, it's all down to practice though, zeros can prop hang very well so stalling them out shouldn't be your number one play, if they stall that's just a bonus, but your number one objective in a BnZ miss, is trading that gained speed for alt, or distance, depending on which suits the current situation, but even though the p47 is outdated meta wise, it's still amazing, but it could match a meta if gaijin fixed air rb, rn I'd say the p47s main role is supporting your teammates and keeping them alive, know your planes, and every loss is a learning experience, I'd check out DEFYN if you haven't and want to learn how certain planes perform as his channel is mostly dedicated for teaching

No it’s not
It does suck ass
Zeroes are just overtiered too
Ki-61s are ass too
So the comparison is between bad and worse

If it’s a j2m just turn, unless it’s a j2m2 or your in something like a p47
Also, what
J2M2 will shit in mouth of pretty much anything around its BR
sour mortar
Only things not to dogfigtht that come to my mind are Mk V spitfires at low alt
kind sun
actually yes'nt

Ki-61s are ass too
ki 61's arent that bad either
kind sun
id say more 6/10
sour mortar
They are not above average lmao
P much anything at 4.3 / 4.7 is better
109s of that BR shit on them, Las and Yaks shit on them, most spitfires hard counter them
kind sun
no
la's dont
neither do 109's
have you even flown all the ki 61's?
i have both all the japanese and chinese ones spaded
and all the 109's
sour mortar
Yes, i do have them spaded

good

so you know that their turn time isnt something to be overlooked
sour mortar
I have indeed played the game
kind sun
fair
sour mortar
109s are faster by a lot and climb a lot better
La-7 same story, except it also porbably out turns them
sour mortar
Spitfires are straight up faster, climb better and 100% beat them in a dogfight
sour mortar
Yes
kind sun
anyway

As in those matchups or symmetrical ones ?

Take this from someone who has Japan to 7.7 air
