The P-47D-22-RE (France) was one of the aircraft received by the Free French Air Force during the later stages of World War II as part of their lend-lease program. These aircraft were provided to strengthen the French forces and offer them opportunities to contribute to the war effort. This particular aircraft, bearing the tail number 226157 (42-26157), was the 619th P-47D-22-RE built, and belonged to the GC II/3 "Dauphiné". Unfortunately, due to limited information available about its whereabouts during and after the war, its history has largely been lost, with only a few artistic drawings and photos serving as proof of its existence.
Introduced in Update "New Power", the P-47D-22-RE benefits from the formidable firepower and high engine output of the P-47D series. While some may consider it too heavy for prolonged dogfights or energy fights, the generous ammunition capacity onboard can be a nightmare for targets within its range, providing more forgiving opportunities to take down aerial targets. Additionally, its payload, although limited, is sufficient to cause havoc among ground targets, making it a versatile fighter and a good "lead-in trainer" for players.
