The P-47D ( or the Jug as it was affectionately known ) was one of the heaviest fighters of World War 2 with a fully laden P-47 topping the scales at a portly 8 tonnes. This weight required a very powerful engine. The same engine that powered the F6F Hellcat and the Vought Corsair, the Pratt and Whitney R2800. Coupled with an impressive load out capability and very capable 50 Calibre machine guns the Thunderbolt resulted in a very capable medium range escort fighter and excellent ground attack fighter.

But there was an issue. Visibility. The Razorback whilst strong ( some returned safely with very large amounts of the plane damaged. ) had an issue with rear visibility. The fix was found by a visit to the RAF. The RAF also had this issue on some of their aircraft and had in fact lent their design for canopies to another famous USAAF aircraft the P51 ( also available ). In this case the answer lay in the Hawker Typhoon with an all encompassing all round vision “bubble top”. And the razorback was retired from production in favour of the Bubbletop

P-47s were operated by several Allied Air Forces during World War II. The RAF for example received 240 razorback P-47Ds, which they designated Thunderbolt Mark I. Since there wasnt a need for a high-altitude fighter in the RAF ( the superb supermarine spitfire filling that role admirably ) the RAF used their Thunderbolts as ground attack. Rather like the Fairchild Republic A-10 thunderbolt in use today. And yes the A-10 takes its name from its WW2 grandfather - The P47-D "Thunderbolt".

I love the P47 in general and have always considered it one of my top favorite WW2fighters. While Aeroplane Heaven have indeed come away with a fantastic visual model it is sadly lacking in flight behaviors. First off the super charger is poorly implemented, has little feedback or consequences. The aircraft is subject to quite premature overstressing here in comparison to real world data and historical references make it seem brittle by all counts. This plane should be able to survive extreme stresses and continue flying but in MSFS world it suffers from terrible inaccuracies. I haven’t even really pushed it very hard at all and keep being surprised by being forced to restart flight because of “overstress”. I can pull off much higher stresses on far lesser aircraft. But hey it looks really good! Sounds are even not bad. But the flying tank is more of a flying fine china. It saddens me greatly that AH just didn’t put enough care into this aircraft.

It's a beautiful plane and I like the liveries chosen. The sound is very unpleasant and repetitive inside the plane, it breaks the immersion.

Well modelled but sound in cockpit needs to be improved. The kick by that plane is not happening due to that as expected. The could have done it better.
