High-resolution textures and multiple paint schemes are available for customization. The P-47 Thunderbolt, one of the largest single-engine fighters in WWII, served as a bomber escort plane but had limited range. After the introduction of long-range P-51-D Mustangs, the P-47 was reassigned to ground attack and allied troop support. Known for durability, maneuverability, and speed, these planes were used in Europe, Pacific, and Asian missions. Post-WWII, many P-47s ended up in desert salvage yards or were transferred to other air forces; the last active service occurred in South America in the mid-1970s. Today, few complete, flight-worthy P-47s remain.
