P-47Ds routinely carried up to 375 gallons of fuel in drop tanks. 150 gallon tanks are available for P-38 and F4U, but only 75 gallon wing tanks are available for the Jug. Please give the jug the 150 gallon option for wings.
Thank you.

The 75 gallon tank was only used initially('43), as the 150 gallon tanks werent yet available in the UK. Not having 150 gallon tanks for the P-47 is just plain wrong (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

the jug is too uber right now I am against htc adding anything new to it please leave it as it is now
work on the p38 only please and make the F4U faster

lol.

My compatriots are correct... The 56th FG operated P-47D's with the high capacity fuel tanks. Recently the 56th has encountered situations in weekly missions where the big tanks would have made a huge difference.
HTC please give us the big tanks.

The 150 gallon tanks need to be added please. I am going to due more research on when and which variants had the tanks.
As for the P47 as a ubber plane....errr I would have to say NO to that one. The M and N would be but not the 2 variants the AH has at the moment.

More fuel capacity would definately help operations a lot! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I'd love to try and take off with those tanks and full internal fuel !!!!!
Should increase the pucker factor by 100% when you're heavily rolling down the runway at full power and 20 deg of flaps praying you'll be able to make it up !
On a side note, can anybody tell me if the compression effect on the P-47 will be less abrupt then what we have now ?
You can see how abrupt it is when you put yourself in a dive, while accelerating pull about 5 g's and watch how it abruptly drops to less then 1 g once you pass compression threshold.

Heu? not sure about what u ask Snorkey. I believe compression is the same for any plane, except it happens at different TAS.
For the heavy take off, just take full fuel, 10 rockets, 2 1000 pound bombs and a center drop tank. You will have your thrill (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I agree. Please Hitech add the 150 ga. DT for the P-47.
