Even so, the P-47M was an operational plane and did see service in greater numbers than some planes in the game.

P-47N is a welcome addition, but to get it up to DT standards, it would need a new cockpit with working navigation aids.

My choice for a new P-47 would be the P-47C-5. This was the main P-47C variant and was one of the first U.S. fighter planes which could accompany U.S. heavy bombers all the way into Germany. While it's not not the late war hot-rod that most IL2 fans want, it's probably one of the most important variants of the "jug".
