Zero could be downed by an aggressive glance.

Looking at the success of the Thunderbolt, the efforts to make other fighter aircraft smaller, lighter, and with reduced surface area seem pointless.

US engine technology at the time was vastly inferior, requiring a much larger airframe.

Because the US was mostly fielding obsolete airframes based on biplanes but upgraded with cantilever wings and better engines.
The US Army won thanks to the industrial base and chemical industry. Engine designers were making good engines but not the best or innovative.
Aircraft designers were using the worse airfoils before the P-51, the worst cowlings designed for 1930s bombers instead of fighters twice as fast.

The US had some modern designs that couldn't polish until the very end of the war, like the P-38 or the stupid and underperforming for its cost P-47 or F4U.
The P-51 (the bonged version) was accidentally good, the result of modernizing the manufacture of the P-40 with post 1930s technology the rest was using. And the P-40 was an accidental discovery too, the result of adapting the P-36 to a inline engine but it only began to shine after getting 130/150 octane avgas and being overbooster by the british (up to 2000 hp).

It didn't, the Zero was the typical fighter when it was designed. Aircraft like the Ki-84 and N1K had range, armor and firepower.

There isn’t really much to argue when you claim something that’s as wrong as “the US had bad aircraft engines”

>Same for the P-47
This pic depicts combat radius not ferry range, which might not be accurate as it rests on various combat assumptions; also the P51 combat radius shown is definitely with droptanks although it's not noted here
Furthermore the P47D model with wing tanks had more or less the same range as the vanilla P51D

>the Zero was the typical fighter when it was designed
Within the year it was introduced (1940) both British and German fighters were sporting armoured cockpits and self-sealing fuel tanks. Its body was also generally built lighter than its contemporaries to increase range, at the expense of fragility.

>Ki-84 and N1K
Irrelevant
>>
>>64203164
Not the turbosupercharger but the intercooler. Unlike RR, the US didn't think about liquid coolant to design a compact. The P-38 and bombers had a better design but even more complex.
>>
>>64203180
>>64203161
NTA but British and German aircraft engines were top of the class at the time
The US arguably pulled ahead shortly after ww2 with British tech transfer and wartime R&D, and the pivot to jet engines
>>
>>64203110
Everybody's engine tech at that time was lackluster. Airframe tech had outstripped engine tech in the '30s, thanks to all those hyperstreamlined racing seaplanes. The engines in those were way too bespoke and new to be easily replicated quickly, but the airframes were a much easier challenge. That's why you get so many Yak or Messerschmitt sized fighters.

It's the combat range for escort missions, it's a valid comparison and that's why that pic exists.

>Within the year it was introduced (1940) both British and German fighters were sporting armoured cockpits and self-sealing fuel tanks
Bongs were using unarmoured P-40s and the Spitfires of 1940 only had one of its fuel tanks with SS.

>Irrelevant
Not an argument.

One of the cool things about the P-47 is that so many of them were made, tons of countries had them as part of their grab-bag from military selloffs. Turkey had the biggest airforce in the region post-war and they had several of just about every single type of aircraft that flew over Europe in WW2. God I love jugs.

>>64203125
Not entirely true, Mitsubishi took enormous compromises to reduce weight because the RFP they and Nakajima were responding to made demands that were borderline impossible to all meet in a single fighter. Nakajima dropped out pretty early because they simply didn't think the requirements could be met. The lack of both armor plate and self-sealing fuel tanks was part of the aggressive weight savings, two things that were very normal to have at the time.

>The lack of both armor plate and self-sealing fuel tanks
That was typical when it was designed, they couldn't add those in production without developing ADI for the Sakae, unlike the Army that had far more leeway with their "Zero" due to less concerns related to engine reliability (a huge killer of pilots in the Pacific), the Hayabusa, that had SS and armour despite being lighter than the Zero and with the same engine. The "interceptor Zero" of the IJA, the Ki-44, had things like SSFT.

Without better fuel the Sakae was limited to 1000-1100 hp max, <800 hp for continous power, with better fuel the Sakae could achieve 1500-1600 hp and for that case SSFT is trivial. You can blame the Navy for not using the larger 'bomber' engines that were similar in size to European radials, even the Zero designer lameted the decision to use the Zuisei and Sakae instead of the Kinsei. The problem of the IJN wasn't the designs but the lack of resources or willingness to update their fighters after 42.

While the Zero had zero, until 1944 iinm

>>
>>64203278
Probably more of an inability to update their fighters after '42. Between material demands on existing assembly lines, the sudden tabling of turns in mid-'42, and the Sakae being a bit of a dead-end, and better Jap designs on the drawing board, really they couldn't do much more with Hayabusas and Zeros.

It was a refusal to accept that their GOTTAGOFAST air doctrine had failed

>>
>>64203287
>wrong, as I've described
The P-47 was an excellent example of a Task that failed successfully. All the fuel efficiency improvement due to the turbo is lost with the extra dead weight and drag of a bad designed cowling. Pic of the Pilot's Manual.

>While the Zero had zero, until 1944 iinm
What part of the IJN refusing to update it you don't understand, lmao. The IJA "Zero" got the fuel tanks a few months after PH.

>Take a look at the diagram in OP and tell me how may N1Ks are on it
Impressive, with such extensive diagram...
>>
>>64203319
It was less "GOTTAGOFAST" and more about maxxing agility with range. America combined GOTTAGOFAST with GOTTAPUNCHCRIPPLINGLY and GOTTASURVIVEBEINGHIT.
>>
>>64203294
The IJA with less resources could update their fighters. The IJN could field better Land based fighters, but the Zero depended of the AC and the lack of interest of the those retards (see the A7M, horrible).
>>
>>64203340
To be fair, land fighters always have more forgiving parameters. See: straight wings on navy jets into the '50s.
>>
With the outbreak of war, imports from Europe and the US became impossible, and Japan had to start by domestically producing oil-resistant synthetic rubbers such as Buna and Neoprene.
While the natural rubber layer is crucial for SS tanks, Japan also needed to research foam processing.
>>
>>64203344
>navy jets into the '50s.
And radial turbojets.
Japan tried to fight far above its capability.
Daily reminder that Pearl Harbor was an idea of the IJN to do something more than watching the IJA.
>>
>>64203353
Well, they took the massive rubber plantations in Malaya in '41, so what excuse did they have then? The US sub campaign wasn't effective until very late '43, so Nippon had time to use all that rubber.
>>
>>64203340
What? The IJA upgraded their fighters? Clearly it’s because they lack HONORABU SAMURAI SPIRIT and this is why they will fail. We will show our HONORABUNESS and keep the same airplanes forever. Because the IJA is wrong and we’re right. Oh hey were did my MAGIC BUSHIDO CARRIERS go?

t. Imperial Japanese Navy. Probably.
