Ready for the P-47D15-23 series

[Blinder]

When we have planes that are still not in the game that were made in thousands, the slightly different Jug can wait a bit.

Bristol Beaufighter:
Served: 27 July 1940 to 1960
Number built: 5,928

Vickers Wellington:
Served: 1938-1953
Numbers built: 11000+

Petlyakov Pe-2:
Served: 1941-1954
Numbers built: 11400+

All these planes are not represented in any way within the game and bring a unique flight model to the game.

Concur - Great AC to add, just like the D23.

Sure.  The thing is, it's a relatively fine detail change in a relatively well represented plane model.  If there were no P47s in the game and HTC was talking about adding them and considering what models to represent, it would be an obvious choice.

Unfortunately, I don't think I've ever seen HTC add a variant to a model  since I've been here without rolling it in with a rework of that model's entire line.  Hence why I'm saying it ain't likely anytime soon.  I'd like it to, but from what I've seen about how HTC develops, they don't change what they've got existing unless they're wanting to roll it in with something bigger than another subvariant.

I am saying this as a guy who spends most of his time in the D11 because I like the way it handles.  This plane, if it existed, would likely be my standard 'knock around in the MA' ride.

Of course, except no one is yelling "give it to me NOW! or else...". This is the wish forum. We seed ideas here that HTC may consider to accept/develop in the future. The typical time between requests and implementation in the game is measured in years. So, if 2 years from now, if HTC decides to reword the P-47 line, or has a little spare time in their development schedule and look for a short-quick project to use this time for, we want that the wish for a late razorback will be on the table.

My apologies.  That was kind of how I heard it, moreso from Seadog with the 'all it would take is to do x' comments.  I was just pointing out that's not how they work.  I don't see how if it fits the criteria, anybody can argue against more planes in the planeset.  More planes means more different things to fly.

The "Or Else" doesn't seem to affect much anyway, thought HTC is responsive to our desires through their new aircraft polls. That's why I dusted off this thread, try to enlighten and reawaken interest in the ride. I believe it would poll well if it showed up as one of the options since the Yak3, 410, Tu and Ki43 itches have been scratched. Even the lowly Storch gets huge play. Glad to see my squadies and I are not alone in the desire.

I would love to have more early 47's the C model would be great also. As far as the -16 to -23  series  sure.... after the 51's are redone and we have 4-5 of those it would be great.

Here is a great snap of an early stateside B model. Old style roundel, extra canopy window, 8" shorter fuselage, fabric covered tail surfaces and no keel belly bulge hardpoint.  


Here is a 353rd FG D-6 model with the added wing pylons and sadly bent up paddle props...

Its currently impossible to recreate western front 1941-1942 historical battles without the Fw190a1,1FW190a2, Fw190a3 , we have no FW190 in-game prior to 1943.

Sounds like material for a new thread...this one is about all of these guys~

if you do the 47 in half size but almost same power, you have a 190

FW 190s dream of becoming 47s when they grow up. Move along save, you apparently have nothing to add. The D-11 covers all the C and early variants, just as the A5 covers all the other early 190 variants. It is also available in EW as a perked ride. I promise not to troll your thread if you stop try to hijack this one.

And the P-47D-25 covers the P-47D-23.

[Seadog36]

Yes, but not very convincingly- By every account the D-23 should be covering the D-25. We are working on remedying that problem, stay tuned and feel free to post your favorite late model Razorback picture anytime.

It does so as convincingly as the Fw190A-5 does so for the Fw190A-2.

There are aircraft that would require less 3D/skin changes (i.e. none) that would actually perform differently than the versions we already have.

Based solely on what you have posted I agree that the P-47D-23 would have been a better choice than the P-47D-25, but that ship is long since sailed.
