P-47M

I know this one will not be high on anyones list, but it seems like it might not be a tremendous amount of work either. There were several hundred made and almost all of them went the the 56th in late 44 or so. There are so many great skins that could be done! They were faster then the D's, but I imagine they would be a lot like the N sans the clipped wings. Anyway, this is teh wishlist folder afterall.

I made this same argument about this time last year.  Basically just take the D-25 and give it a lot more power.  The ultimate word was that HTC had left the door open for including the "M" at some point, with no commitment to when.  I'm personally looking forward to it, even if its 3 years from now (or whenever)

Isn't the P-47M one of those rare occasions where HTC's just come out and said "no"? They rarely do, but I thought this was one of the times.

No.  I can't remember the exact quote and don't have time to look up the thread, but to paraphrase (HTC) "I never said that we wouldn't add the P-47M" or something like that.

P-47M, P-38H, Fw190A-6, Bf109g-6/AS and Bf109g-14/AS and you've got the whole fighter set for CT in the game for whenever that comes out! All can be based on existing aircraft, so hopefully they'll require much less development time and resources than a completely new model.

2 questions on the 47M:
-I know the the wing racks were removed  for more speed at some point, but were they ever used in service?
-Was the dorsal fin extension fitted to the Ms like it was on the bubble canopy 47Ds?

1- Wing racks were removed, centerline "wet" rack remained.  The -47M was used to chase down Jets and buzz bombs.

2- I'll have to check when I get home, but I'm pretty sure the dorsal fin was as you describe.  Pretty much every Thunderbolt after the D-25 had those, I believe.
