P-47 Payload Questions

[Typhoon Willy]

Hi all,

I was going through my archived aircraft and updating weapons to Dbolt's for my USN and USAAF planes and have come to my P-47s, the Alphasims in particular. The original dp has loadouts for 10 HVAR rockets but was wondering when the 3 three tube bazooka rockets were used? I have modified the Alphasim dp (after backing up the original) to use Dbolt's weapons with the bazooka launcher. I have seen the razorback a/c with the bazoka launchers but not the HVARs, but I have seen bubbletops with either the bazooka launchers or the 10 HVARs.

Kind regards,

TW

Hi TW,

This link maybe helpful: http://www.joebaugher.com/usaf_fighters/p47_4.html

It looks like the P-47D-30-RA onward had the 10 HVAR. I think all previous versions could be fitted with the rocket tube type (one 3-tube under each wing).

Cheers,
O
