First thing that would be helpful is to know at what alt you plan on fighting at.
Each P47 has it's own little quirks and starts to come 'Alive' at a different alt.
The D-10 starts to come alive at around 16,000ft - 18,000ft.
The D-22 comes alive at around 13,000 - 15,000ft.
The D-27's start to liven up at around 8,000ft and really snap to life at 12,000ft.

The P47 D-10 is essentially a 'C' model with extra cooling flaps to help solve over heating problems of the 'B' and 'C' series.
Major changes weren't made until the D-15 (Extended Range) and the D-22.

The D-22 incorporated all the improvements of the D-15 plus the addition of the new 'Paddle prop' for better Rate of Climb (ROC) and a higher top speed.

The D-27 added even more fuel, upgraded engine/turbo components and a bubble top for improved visibility.

The D-27 (Late) is the same as the the D-27, but with the K14 'Ace Maker' gun sight instead of the old M9 Halo Sight.

The P47 in general will turn very well when at high speed, but likes to flop like a pancake if you turn too aggressively when slow. If you find yourself in a tight spot and need to get away fast or if your enemy is trying to run, nose over slightly, set the prop pitch to 88% and DIVE. There is no propeller in IL-2 can out dive a P47 and live! The P47 will not break apart until 718mph TAS. While there are planes that can out dive it initially, none of them can sustain the dive before they break apart. If you're in a dive with a Jug on your 6oc, you're dead already. He will catch you very soon.

With that said, if you are diving after or away from someone, the only P47 that will really retain it's 'E' on the deck is the D-27. It will hold appx 380mph as long as you don't make any really aggressive moves and have it trimmed right.

At alt. the only plane that really gives a P47 a hassle is the TA-152 H, and only above 30,000 ft. (When he can kick in the Nitro). Anything else is meat for a P47. When fighting a plane that can out turn you, get him high. Almost every German Plane, save the TA-152 H, will fall off at 25,000 - 26,000 ft and be useless when they hit 28,000ft. I don't know how many times I've out climbed an FW from 12,000ft, dragged him up to 25,000 only to zoom up to 30,000ft+, flip around on him as he stalls and shoot in in the top of the pit as I come back down on him. Just remember to stay fast and be gentle on the stick. The P47 doesn't start to loose power until it's above 35,000ft. I've taken a D27 as high as 45,000ft, but it was like flying a brick in syrup.
