Both the P-40 and P-47 used the same arial combat techniques. Climb high, power-dive on your adversary, then use the aircrafts weight and momentum to zoom-climb back up to altitude and start all over. Worked well against both the Japs and Germans.

If I remember right, though, the '47 could hold its own in high altitude dogfights, and left the Spitfire pilots in awe as they climbed away from them like a "raped ape", for such a relatively big plane. Although I've seen them at air shows, and they don't look so big at all, quite tiny compared to modern fighters.
