That's similar to saying "my VW Golf GTi is the fastest car in the World, because all the other cars parked on my street are Toyota Prius / Ford Focus / SUVs."

In a relative comparison, the Asobo/HH ATR probably does slow down quicker than other airliners in MSFS and perhaps the 747 comment is a slight exaggeration.
However, in real life (if EnSnellHest is a genuine ATR pilot), he/she may be used to being able to change the condition levers to 100% OVRD to get the effect of 'throwing the anchors out' and seeing the associated large reduction in airspeed.

I would be delighted to hear how to decelerate ATR IRL vs sim. Since there is no direct prop control I use flight idle which is probably not the right  way . ATR deceleration remind me of PMDG DC-6 you have to plan ahead to level off early  to  bleed off speed. But in case DC-6 you are trying avoid shock cooling which I believe not a case with ATR

Haha I love that people got hung up on the 747-part. OF COURSE it was an exaggeration.

Are you certified in any version in ATRs in real life? If not I suggest you keep your "rubbish" comments to yourself.

No I'm not. And after this hyperbolic statement that the MSFS ATR slows down like a 747 I very much doubt that he is either.

I thought so, but I don't find it very helpful, especially in the internet. It doesn't bring your point across any better, actually worse. That said, care to elaborate how much fast it should decelerate? I feel like with flaps out and gear down I can go from 240 to 130 kts in like one minute (I didn't stop the time, but it felt really fast, like I was using a giant speed brake).

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.
