It's a fighter

Use a Ju-87D-3 or a Heinkel He-111H-16, Noone will like you if you use an Arado all the time lol.

It sure does seem to take damage like a bomber.

At first the P-47 was a fighter, then it was turned into a fighter-bomber where it got much credit as being a sort of American 'Typhoon' or 'Tempest'. But the Thunderbolt, could take much more damage than either of those planes from what I've read.

But in game, it's a fighter-bomber I would say.

its a mix between an il2 and a p51.
a really badass-plane in sim.
especially in cta ^^

btw...
i can destroy more ground-targets in sim/unlimmeted ammo with a stuka, than a b17.
try it... ^^

Agree about the P47, but I have to remember to put the flaps up as soon as I have landed. Some one, who I shall not mention by name ( sod it, why not?......it's Robotic Pope!), bombs me as soon as I land and the damned flaps are stuck down for the rest of the game.....bugs realy bug me (as well RP's bombing accuaracy!)

Yes, but the important thing is that the game classes it as a fighter so you can't use it to unlock the B-17.
