The renewed P-40s will have a lot of loadout combos, with american, british and soviet bombs

Rockets too?

14th Air Force used the bazooka type rockets in China. (Same as on our current P-47).

I guess bazooka rockets will be available on late variants.

Just curious here: what prevents ships from showing on the inflight map, as all ground objects show up?? Any possibiolity of including any of the command and control mods and map pad interfaces with the 4.12 patch?

The P-47C-5 model would be especially welcome, since it was the first long-range U.S. escort fighter to see action in Europe, and was made famous by the 56th Fighter Group.

All that is needed are minor tweaks to the existing P-47D-10 model (slight changes to the engine cowling and propeller) and slight changes to the FM and DM.

Im hoping more towards the later versions of the P-47D and M/N versions

I suggested the P-47C because it's a relatively simple job to add it and the 3d model of the early series P-47 propeller needs to be changed anyhow. The prop modeled for the P-47 is the wide-bladed version which was only fitted on the D-22 and later versions of the plane.

The P-47D-26 to 30 production blocks would be easy to do since they could use the current 3d model for the P-47D-25.

The P-47D-40 and later production blocks would need the addition of the tail fillet to the 3d model and change to the cockpit (including the K-14 gun sight) as well as DM and FM work.

The P-47N and M models would require more extensive 3d work and new cockpits, as well as FM and DM work. Basically, they'd be entirely new planes, especially the N version which would need new skins due to the extended fuselage.
