Kind of a worthless aircraft... .

Worthless to you, maybe. At least you didn't call it a hangar queen.

It was worthless, it was a better passenger aircraft than a military aircraft.

Let's be realistic, it was inferior to the HE 111, served in a high alt roll until it was shot down at 40k ft +/- a few thousand feet. It was retired jn 43', was never really mass produced. Even it's variants were limited in production.


So, yeah, worthless.

Never understood why the Beaufighter was never added.  Versatile and served in every theater of the war.   :(

We talk about additions without new modeling, A P-47D-15 through D-23 would be a good addition.

The P-47D-15 would be more like our D-11 but it would have wing racks for external fuel tanks.

The P-47D-23 would be like a D-25, just without a bubble canopy.

Another helpful tool would be specific external drop tanks, this would allow us to narrow down time periods for the Thunderbolt.

For Special Events or historical setups in the AvA, these would be good additions for the early '43 to mid '44 time periods. These variants would provide more options to the SE guys to support the historical side of the game without having to build new models from scratch.
