Re: Was it a foregone conclusion when a ME109G

Thanks. I read from Johnson that the P47 would out dive and out barrel roll any of the German piston a/c and then out climb with the paddle blades. That would leave out turn to escape but the heavier armament of the ME109G would negate that possibility.

Yes it was the G6 which I thought was the most common in use against the heavies.

Well I read it in a book about ME109s so I guess that is why no mention was made of FW190s being preferred for anti-bomber use.
