I must say I'm sorely disappointed with the content of this thread.

You don't like having French P47s or you don't like the quality of the skins?  :headscratch: Maybe you don't like P47s (shame on you :angel:)

hgtonyvi, surely many good sticks in the 56th, with a wide variety of flying styles ... Hub the zen master, LilMak the planner, Ammo the scraper, Seadog the peacefull, Player1 the young angry one ... and Yucca is back  :banana:, but that's off topic. It's about French P47s and Greebo's homage and contribution to France's war effort. :cheers:

I think he was talking about the other jugs. You know, the ones that come as a bundled package with women. One of their best features IMO.

And I'll have you know that I do a pretty good job of keeping my anger contained to VOX, it rarely spills over into other areas.  :noid

Yeah, it only broke the back of the Luftwaffe.   Too bad it never faced a real challenge to its capabilities.  :p

Fairly certain lack of fuel even for training, little training of new pilots, the colossal numbers advantage they faced, as well as having a primary directive other than shooting down bloated US fighters might have had a bigger effect than any inherent quality (or in this case, lack thereof  :t) of the P-47.

Also, wasn't like, a really Golly-geen big part of the Luftwaffe committed against the Soviets?

Of the Luftwaffe forces in the west it was the P-47 that broke their back and forced the situation where new pilots had little training.  The Spitfire held the line, the P-47 broke the Luftwaffe as an effective force and the P-51 mopped up.

That was true in late 44 and on.  Not so much in summer 43 through fall 44 when the LW was formidable.

The 56 FG under Zemke's direction racked up a bunch of victories against the awesome JG26.  The 56 took its licks early on but developed good tactics centered around the AC's strengths and cleaned house.

The 56 FG went on to end the war as the only group to fly the Jug from the beginning of operations to war's end, and was second of all ETO allied groups in enemy AC destroyed and first in Enemy AC destroyed in the air.

So, you are wrong in saying the AC was incapable.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

...However it turned out to be the 33rd P-47D-11 skin submitted and so was not made available in the game.


This should never happen ever to a Greebo skin. There simply is no excuse for not having every one of the best made skins in game and booting the inferior ones which are so plentiful. not to mention it is a rare d11 french scheme.

seriously skuzzy fix this and don't hide behind bureaucracy and procedure when this is an in demand skin customers want in game.
