Description
The ␗F-47N-25-RE Thunderbolt represented the later series P-47N (or F-47N, after USAF nomenclature revisions by early 1950s) delivered to ROCAF. After the previous P-47D series proved fruitless to the outcome of Chinese Civil War and the stop of military aid to Nationalist forces after their retreat to Taiwan Island, the outbreak of Korean War gave some time for a rest for Nationalists but this also called for supply of jet fighters after ROCAF spotted PLAAF has already been upgraded with more advanced jet fighters. But before USAF can even supply F-84 or future F-86s to Nationalist forces, the latest aircrafts they received were 43 F-47Ns from a certain Air National Guard unit around 1953. Although having somewhat remarkable record of sinking PLAN's gun boat in 1954 and claimed to damage a MiG-15, the end of propeller fighters put an end of these aircrafts by 1955 with the aforementioned jets, which also marked the end of ROCAF's propeller-driven fighters.
It was introduced in Update "Seek & Destroy" as one of the premium aircrafts to Chinese tech tree; while the F-47N series were known for their high-altitude performance and endurance with rather long service radius, it also suffers from the overall high mass like other Thunderbolts. But with careful considerations at air battles and its sufficient payload, it can also serve as a more powerful alternative to P-47Ds while maintaining sufficient engine output to escape from danger.

Survivability and armour
Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.

Armaments
Offensive armament
The F-47N-25-RE (China) is armed with:
- 8 x 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine guns, wing-mounted (500 rpg = 4,000 total)
Suspended armament
F-47N retained the payload from previous Thunderbolts with varieties of bombs and rockets albeit being identical to them as well; but in simple words - leave the bombs for any tough armored targets while the HVAR can finish off light vehicles, give players have extensive experiences to utilize HVAR rockets at maximum efficiency.

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Strong guns
- Fast top speed
- High Horsepower Engine
- High Ammo Count
- Bomb and Rocket Payload for Ground Attack
Cons:
- Slow Climb Rate
- Poor Turn performance
- Heavy Weight Fighter
- Large Minimum Fuel Load
History
Although the P-47N series were specifically designed for long-range escort of the B-29 fleet in Pacific theatre, the introduction of P-51D and the end of WWII by 1945 meant they wouldn't be utilize well during the WWII, the last series of these aircrafts were soon introduced to Air National Guards in US. Meanwhile, the P-47D series which were still used by NRAAF, then the ROCAF were soon proved fruitless to the outcome of Chinese Civil War after the Nationalist's major losses in near Shandong and Zhejiang, this would also be worsen by the end of supply to the Nationalist forces by 1949. However, due to the outbreak of Korean War and the halt of PLA's plans to takeover the remaining territories held by the Nationalists, this also gave the time to rest and plans to attack Mainland China by 1950; although previous recon flights with the cost of its pilot hinted the existence of PLAAF jet fighter fleet, the intensive aerial battles and lack of capacity to build more jet fighters resulted in the delivery of F-47Ns to ROCAF by 1953, 43 fighters from a certain USANG fleet.
Deemed as obsolete by the era, ROCAF claimed to have damage a MiG-15 of PLAAF on 11th, May of 1954 and a flight survived the attacks from MiGs while been known as the aircraft that sunk PLANS Ruijin (瑞金舰; ex-IJN Shishaka 四阪, ship No. 5257) on 18th May, 1954 by 44-89406 (tail No. 306). from 44th Squadron, piloted by He Jianyi (何建彝).
As soon as jet fighters like F-84G and F-86F were introduced to ROCAF, they were soon phrased out in 1955.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
