P-47D 20-RE Razorback as an option

An N model would be nice for the Pacific, had wet wings, the only Jug to have them I believe. 

 

Edit: Yeah!!!!.......it's been a bit, I know.... but Razorbacks were in the Pacific too. LOL... I had meant to come right back and do that edit that day...... but the wife and I had the great grand kids back then... I got busy....

Razorback would be wonderful, even if it was a separate module. WW2-centered portion of ED is small, sadly, but this won't be a full scale module development either, and post-release support would be pretty much completely shared with existing D-30/40. And razorback does look better )

The P-47s that made most of the work were the razorbacks. The big P-47 aces Johnson, Kirby, Gabi, etc, made most, if not all of their kills in razorbacks, yet all people see are the bubble tops that were mostly 9th AF planes.

Same goes for the P-51s, the ones that made the difference were the B models, not the D.

I’d buy a razorback or a B-pony as separate modules.

Those razorbacks are actually faster, so not only art design would be involved in making those.

Razors were in Normandy in 1944 as well. Thy'd be a really great fit for the time period and war simulation for us.

They were all razorbacks during normandy. The first bubble tops D-25 were just entering service at that time.

While razorback P-47s made up the bulk of the Thunderbolt fleet in mid-1944, the bubbletop was in theatre for June 6 and the greater Normandy campaign.

The first image is Lt. Robert Coffey's plane, "Coffey's Pot", in full invasion stripes. Shot down July 11 but the pilot survived. The second image is of P-47s assembling on June 6, with a small number of bubbletop Thunderbolts in the group.

Of course, we have the D-30 and D-40 variants instead of the D-25, so it's a moot point I suppose.

P-51 B/C would deliver even more pain for axis fighters, since B/C were noticeable faster 😛

But just 4 .50 cals and given DCS damage modeling still seems off. It would give the Germans more survivability.

Good point, but p-47 razorback had 8 of them right ?
