+ | The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a Rank {{Specs|rank}} gift American fighter {{Battle-rating|5}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.83 "Masters of the Sea"]] in Centenary of Poland Regaining Independence event and it was available for purchase for 6090 GE. The plane is painted after the camouflage scheme of Polish pilot Witold Łanowski in the US Army Air Force in the 61st Fighter Squadron. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The P-47M is a high-altitude interceptor that has impressive armament and ordinance that serves it well in both the fighter and Close Air Support role. In Air RB, it is currently unequaled in performance at a 5.7 battle rating, possessing ridiculous top speed, competitive climb rate, decent energy retention, great armament, and surprising maneuverability at speed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As such, the P-47M is best played to its strengths as a Boom & Zoom and Boom & Run fighter in Air realistic battles. In Ground realistic battles it is an excellent fighter bomber with a good rocket/bomb load-out and .50 cals which can deal with most turret roof armor. | ||
+ | The M variant was specifically setup to intercept Germany's buzz-bombs and the new [[Me 262 A-1a|jet]]/[[Me 163 B|rocket]] powered fighters. The primary advantage of this new variant came through speed. The aircraft was powered by either a Pratt & Whitney R-2800-14W or R-2800-5 engine while using the CH-5 turbo-supercharger. The aircraft was able to produce 2,800 hp, giving it a higher top speed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In War Thunder Air realistic battles, the P-47M sits at a battle rating of {{specs|BR|RB}} while having the performance qualities of super-props. Top speeds above 5km exceed literally any opponent besides the [[Ta 152 H-1]] (which is only capable of competing at around 9-10 km). Climb rate is great, at around an average of 23 m/s from 0-6000 m. WEP power is available for up to 12 minutes to maximize engine output. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Interestingly (besides the better engine), the P-47M gets a unique airbrake which makes it very easy to stick behind the tails of opponents in a high-speed dive. | ||

The Lanovski's P-47M-1-RE is armed with:
- 8 x 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine guns, wings-mounted (425 rpg = 3400 total)
Suspended armament
The Lanovski's P-47M-1-RE can be outfitted with the following ordinance:
- 1 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bomb (500 lb = total)
- 2 x 1000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs (2,000 lb = total)
- 1 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bomb + 2 x 1000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs (2,500 lb = total)
- 10 x 127 mm HVAR rockets

- 10 x 127 mm HVAR rockets + 2 x 1000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs (2,000 lb = total)
- 10 x 127 mm HVAR rockets + 1 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bomb + 2 x 1000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs (2,500 lb = total)
Usage in the battles
No plane should concern a competent P-47M pilot. However, many planes do become worrying opponents when flying below 5 km. The La-7, Tempest Mk V/Mk II, and Yak-9P are all examples of planes that can run down a P-47M at sea level. While the P-47M has a good climb rate, be wary of significant altitude loss during dogfights which rob the fighter of most of its potential energy.
Aircraft which should be kept in mind are the air spawning German fighters, and actually most Rank 4 fighters.
If you happen to be flying againt the 47M try to bait it to a lower altitude where it's options become severely limited. Otherwise, there isn't much one can do against a P-47M, unless piloting a Spitfire or Zero.

- Engine damage is very likely in head-ons
History
Four P-47D-27 Aircraft were pulled form the production line at the Farmingdale factory and were fitted with the Pratt & Whitney R-2800-57(C) engine. They were also equipped with a larger CH-5 turbo-supercharger allowing the aircraft to reach 2800hp at 32,000 feet. Air brakes were also added underneath the wings to aid in deceleration and recovery during dives. These four prototypes were re-designated YP-47M.
The engine installations were eventually added to the last 130 P-47D-30s from Framingdale in Sept of 1944. They were all re-designated P-47M-1-RE. It is important to note that the under-wing racks were not fitted to this aircraft. It was intended to be strictly a fighter. They were delivered in Dec. of 1944. The dorsal fins were later added as a field modification.
The M-variant saw service with the 56th Fighter Group but problems with the new highly tuned R-2800 delayed their use until the last weeks of the war in Europe. At one point the aircraft was pulled from service and replaced with D variants until the aircraft performed reliably. The P-47M was never used against V-1 flying bombs, it's original target.
His P-47M-1-RE had the nickname "Ugly Duckling" and a striking paint scheme.
