P-47-D11

[Kuhn]

I wish the skin for the Checkertail P-47-D11 was available. Why would that ever be gone?   

[Spikes]

There's more than 15 skins for it, so they rotate them in and out.

you cant have everything,theres like 30 odd submitted d11 skins from what i can gather and we can only have 15. some have to be changed some get deleted and some get replaced.

   It'll come back around Kuhn, we'll just have to wait.  (He likes flying his jug pretending he's an actual 325th pilot)

What happens if you save a skin and later, it is deleted from the 15?  Can you still use it?

You better duck Lowboy!!!

And hey, this is the wish list isn't it?

[lowZX14]

Yes it sure is, and yes I'd like to see the skin back as well.

We need D-11 razorbacks to carry ords. All early model jugs were retrofitted with underwing hardpoints by 1944. At least in late war

Don't forget paddle-props and 70" MAP as a lightly perked option...

field mod?

D-11 introduced automatic water/methanol injection- previous models supported it, but it wasn't automatic. 

D-15 introduced the wing racks, which were also made wet for drop tank use.  The Paddle prop was also installed at the factory at this point.

Field mods for the razorbacks focused on turbo-supercharger wastegate manipulation- this was done to increase the boost to the -2800 up front, supplying more power.   Widewing has a great post in here regarding an interview with Bob Johnson.  He talks about it, and brags about his Thunderbolt and what she could do.

When 150 octane fuel was introduced, they could increase the boost even more to the tune of 78-80" hg.

Paddle props were sent to the theater with mod kits, I know that.  Basically, at the end of it- all Jugs in Europe were toting the paddle blade.

I don't know about wing rack mods.  I know some were removable, but as to which models I really don't know.  Widewing would know more.

I'd love paddle props on Jugs. Apparently, a P47 with paddle props and WEP going it could match a 109 in a climb.
