P-47d-re

[ImpalerNL]

Any chance of this version being added?

Cutting down the rear fuselage to accommodate the bubble canopy had led to yaw instability in the aircraft's flight, so the P-47D-40 had a neat dorsal fin extension in the form of a narrow triangle running from the vertical tailplane to the radio aerial. The dorsal fin extension was retrofitted in the field to earlier P-47D bubble-top variants.

The P-47D-40 also was fitted with the new K-14 computing gunsight. This was a license-built copy of the British Ferranti GGS Mark IID computing gyroscopic sight.

Red or green smoke target flares carried by ground attack aircraft like the p-47 or IL2 are much wanted also. This makes it easier for other teammates to identify the enemy ground target.
