Frenchy,
Them Texas boys aren't scair't of martial arts, hell most of 'em pack some kinda heater at work. What you need to do to get us the P47M is start taking down their booze preferences...and have a semi-trailer deliver it :D A couple pizzas would probably be welcome too...
Scotch anyone?

I should start rocketing any beer truck getting within 1000y of HTC's HQ. Blow up a beer truck is fun ... hum, but isn't it capital punishment in Tx?

Invasion stripes on a P-47M??? No P-47M wore them. Let's make sure if we get a P-47M it wears this paint scheme:

Actually the Confederate Air Force painted that jug a little too light sea green. The real 63rd jugs were dark blue, as seen in these color photos from Beware the Thunderbolt:

Doh! yes you are right Sancho, I forgot about that!!! :mad:
Anyway, don't model this uggly blue P47M.
Model one like "Teddy" fig 52 p.77 of Osprey's "56th fighter group".
But I have to fear that Pyro's taste in P47s camos and mine are way opposite. I can't wait for a skin editor ... I may even fly a D25 ;)

HTC has erroneously labeled our Brazilian jug as a P-47D-25-RE. In fact the tail numbers (42-26786) give it away as being a -27, as do Brazilian Air Force records, listing "D4" as a -27.
Perhaps HTC should call the Jambock jug what it is (a -27) and give us a Gabby camo -25. With invasion stripes. But the 'M' is gonna be blue! :D
-
I trade the D25 gabby for the Bigblueugllyone.
Maybe the D26 of Smith would be nice too :D

you jug dweebs are so spoiled
you have 3 jugs that fly the same but look different
HTC could have added 2 more p38's instead that actually have different performance than the others
P-38F
P-38J
or you could miss those and go directly to the P-40 which would be quite fun

Cit,
I can't argue with you about us "jug dweebs" being spoiled :). Like most spoiled children we always want more.
I do disagree with you on the fact that all three jugs fly the same. Since it's introduction I have flown little else and though the -30 and -25 have only suttle differences, the -11 is very different in my opinion. Here is something I wrote in the training forum about those differences:
P-47-D-30: This is my Jabo plane of choice. It can carry up to two 1k bombs under the wings and ten rockets and a single 500lbr under the fuselage. It has the most horspower of the three, it will pull 52" of mp at 100% and 65" mp in wep. It also is the only one of the three with dive brakes. Without ordanance attached to it it is one of the better of the very high altitude flyers. It is in it's element over 25k.
P-47-D-25: This one is a "bubble top" as is the -30. It is a little lighter (300lbs is the figure I understand it to be). It only pulls 49" of mp at 100% and 60" in wep. It can carry almost the same loadout as the -30 with the exception of the rockets. It only carries 6 of those and they are shot out of tubes that stay with the plane after the rockets are shot. It feels a bit lighter to me and used to be my ride of choice for fighter sweeps because it did tend to fly better at the lower alts and seemed to turn a bit better too. It also outclimbed the -30 at full loadout. It is another good one over 25k. Both it and the D-30 use the paddle blade prop and water injection. It gives up a little in climb to the -30 over 20k due to the reduced wep. It's green and it is harder to see down low and if flown with icons turned off and is harder to pick out from the terrain than the D-30. It is painted in the Brasilian "Senta Pua" squadron colors.
P-47-D-11: My current favorite. The lightest of the three though I don't know what the figure is. It is the "Razorback" and the extra side area makes it more stable in low speed turns. It is really a sweet ride. I carries less fuel than the other two and can carry only one 500lb bomb or a external tank on the centerline under the fuselage. It will only pull 49" mp at 100% throttle and 60" at wep like the -25 but it doesn't have the paddle blade prop like the other two. That prop makes a lot of difference in how it climbs. This one gives up over 250 fpm over 20k to the other two. It does turn much better at low altitude than the other two but also gives up some visability due to the canopy frames and the restricted 6 view. It is green like the -25 and colored in the 56FG squadron colors.
If we had all three of the 38's you listed I would probably have to spend as much time in each to be able to notice the differences I notice in the 47s. To do that though would keep me from flying the plane I love most though...
