Title: Id like a "new" p47
Post by: Nilsen on July 10, 2002, 10:39:34 AM

I'd like to see the D30 in green and maybe another "razorback" model if there are any

Did all "razorbacks" have the seat that far left of center ?

I find it annoying althoug i love the plane

The seat is not left of center, the gunsite is.  The cockpit view is centered around the gunsite.

S!
P-47D-23 is the fastest of the D- series. Carries decent payload too. Paddle blade prop as a standard.

If you look down when you are sitting in the cockpit yo will see that the seat is placed abit to the right

D23 looks great...want it

Realistically, for a representative planeset, we only lack a very late war P-47.  Either the M or the N.  And since the N was produce in the thousands, and the M barely in the hundreds, I would go with the N.

Just like the 190 series, I think we just don't need another model (especially another D) when there are so many planes of other types and nationalities that we don't have yet.

I'd like to see one more Jug, preferably the M as it would be more competitive in the MA, at least I think so.  The N would have less climb rate, less top speed than an M, but on the other hand, it would have more range and better roll rate.
On the whole, if we don't add one more Jug, I agree with you, Verm.  No more 109's, 190's, Spits, etc.  Make one or two more P-38's, a P-39, a better German bomber, couple more Japanese fighters and bombers, etc.
