- Here it comes - the Thunderbolt. The Jug that was also a juggernaut. A highly mobile, fearsome beast. According to Peter Henn, a German pilot who fought against the Allies in the skies of Europe, this aircraft instilled fear in the hearts of Luftwaffe pilots.

Fun Fact: British Pilots joked, the Thunderbolt is so big, you can avoid Enemy Fire by simply running around in the Cockpit!
Lol
British pilots on point
There was a saying in ww2 that quite described the safety of P-47:
"If you want to send a picture home to your sweetheart, you take it with the Mustang. If you want to make it home to her, you fly the Jug."
The P-47 Thunderbolt built around a huge engine and the A-10 Thunderbolt II being built around a huge gun.
Man gotta love it when WW2 era planes receive a wonderful successor.
I don't see many resemblances between these two, tbh. Apart from P-47 being used as ground attack fighter sometimes.
They could've choose a better name. Maybe from an attack aircraft.
Indeed americans wraped all plane around BiG Engine....Now all wraped around Volcan main gun Fairchild A10
Ehhh
@@mikulaszach2652 I think tge only resemblance is the way both aircrafts were designed, both were built around something.

I wish a great day to Bruce and the whole War Thunder team, that brings us these amazing videos!
they put more positive effort in to their videos than the game
I adore the Thunderbolt, i even dream about it flying it into combat.
I dream making love to it!
I dream about having her back in my life, it’s never been the same since she left 😞
@@johnbennett951 who are you talking about
@@digital_gaming8568 your mother
It would be nice if War Thunder pilots used the whole "high alt" feature of the P-47 and not just mowing the lawn in it
I'm always looking how foolish p47 pilots are has always see that and turn fighting against zeros worse aircraft u could turn fight in p47 and let not forget always going for head on against aircraft like heavy fighters and wonder why there amazing P47 been turned into confetti
Well when you have an aircraft with rockets and bombs of all types...
Kinda hard to get to 7000m when matches only last like 15m and all enemies are at like 3-1km alt
Unpopular opinion here: I love the P-47 N-15, I love how it looks I love how it dives at mach 0.75 without so much as a shudder, I love that it has clipped wings whilst still having a larger wing surface area than the D variants. It's not the fastest plane on the deck, it's not the fastest climbing one either but my god does it look spectacular. I personally believe that if they decided to make a lightened version of the P-47 N-15 with the engine and airbrakes from the P-47 M-1-RE, that would have undoubtedly been the ultimate P-47.
I'm agreed with you there. It feels like within WT, the Thunderbolt tree is a bit of a branch. Some only get a captured Early. Some get the midwar bubble canopy. But the Americans get to keep their strange special N-Model and the souped-up M to themselves. If they'd just combined the best of the two aircraft at some point, we'd have one hell of a plane.
Both the p47 n-15 and p-47 m-1 used the r-2800 57 engine capable of producing a hair over 2800 hp with water. The N was only a little bit slower than the M but certainly was outclassed in climb rate due to the extra mass.
Fun fact. No P47 had dive breakes. They are dive exit flaps that were used to exit a dive at high speeds, when the controls on the elevator begsn to be stiff. Some of the P38 Lightning variants also had them. So, overall, these dive exit flaps were not to slow down the aircraft, but to interrupt the airflow below the wing in a such manner that it'll push nose of the aircraft up.
Excellent! Y’all have finally recognized how amazing the P-47 was.
So, ummm….. How about correcting the model? Of all the bubble canopy Jugs in War Thunder, only the D-25 should lack the fillet on the vertical stabilizer. Every other variant in game should have the tail configuration as modeled on the P-47M.
And if you’d like to include the larger capacity engine oil and water injection tanks of the bubble tops I don’t think anyone will mind.
Yeah, I complety agree with you, the P 51 is overstimated, the only thing good it had was it's range, turn speed was average, roll rate the same too, and the aircraft was unbalance, to the point it had to empy first it's internal fuel tank before the external, so when the mustang enter battle had to drop the nearly full tanks, it ended up with little combat time, the Thunderbolt in other hand was a beast, fire power, speed retencion after a dive, maximun altitude, there were so few aircraft that were equal or supirior than the P 47 (fire power and speed retencion I would say the FW 190 was a close contender [the A variant]) (altitude the Ta 152 H was the best piston engine aircraft in that regard in WWWII); it was so good that I remember reading abaout that the pilots in the Korean war would had prefered the P 47 over the P 51 to flight in that war
@@ricardobeltranmonribot3182 nope they could take fuel straight from the drop tanks none of this having to empty the aircraft tanks
@@ricardobeltranmonribot3182 wrong. See above comment to know why.
On top of that, the 30L Methanol-Injection tank is listed as an oil cooling system - if it gets shot at, you don't lose WEP, you start leaking.
@@boomboomyourdoomdoom1767 Mustangs did empty the tank behind the pilot before drawing from drop tanks. When that tank had fuel in it there was a very negative effect on the P-51’s fighting ability because it threw off the CG. With the CG that far (far is a relative term) aft the plane was very skittish. It showed its displeasure by going into high speed stalls under much lower G loading than normal. In a furball a stalled/spinning plane is a dead plane.
I believe it’s one of the primary reason every (or near enough) Mustang still flying has had that tank removed, wether or not they added a jump seat.
A teacher at my High-school when I was growing up flew "The Jug", and parked his in the second story of a building, got out, walked downstairs, and back to the airfield. May he rest in peace now.
Epic!
@@Lemure_Noah he lost his engine during takeoff, just after lift off. Put it into the farmers house.
The P 47 is truly the best plane in the game. No other plane makes me smile like the d 28. I have over 15 k kills in it.
My spitfires are better
my zeroes would beg to differ

@@vignasimp2835 which spitfire u have?
If you want to get girlfriend, fly P-51
But, if you want to go home in one piece, fly P-47
Funny they mention the P-43, it was our primary high-alt interceptor until the P-38 was introduced, yet for some reason, it's a premium for the US, and tech tree for the chinese. Much like the M8 scout car.
This plane needs a lot of patience to learn and there's literally a lot of tactics you can do with it. Sometimes you can surprise your opponents with this plane by literally abusing its advantages. You just have to be situationally aware and always know when to engage and not.
How?
You fly the P-47 to revenge bomb somebody who killed you. I fly it because it is a beautiful aircraft.
We are not the same.
It has been 5 days and I already miss playing War Thunder, my computer gave up when I was getting some P51's
Same. I had to go almost 10 days without War Thunder or any game for that matter, and I only recently got to play for a bit.
@@kommandantkillcode The hot weather actually contributed to it for me. One of the box circuits melted producing some electronic smoke.
@@chocolat-kun8689 Oof. I hope you can get it fixed or a replacement. I had a move that made me unable to set up my PlayStation or have much time to play even when it was hooked up.

The Thunderbolt?! That's my most favorite plane in WW2!🤩
I wonder why

No matter what people say, thunderbolts are excellent in boom and zoom and some can even dogfight a few stuff when done properly
Sad that it is normally used for kamikaze revenges
And I hate it cuz of that, ppl in allies Team will pick a P47 after dying once and will bomb u, like can't u get another tank and face me properly if I kill u?
No, no it can't dogfight. It turns like a bomber. It can dogfight nothing. Nothing. Maybe most bombers turn worse but apart from that...
@@RomanTheMexican How does skill change the turn rate of an aircraft? The P-47 just doesn't turn very well, just accept that. Try dogfighting with a P-47 in WT and see how far you get. You'll get shot down immediately because almost, if not everything turns better.
@@RomanTheMexican I'm starting to believe you've never played war Thunder. "Dogfighting in bombers" is impossible. I play bombers a lot, and they really aren't suitable, I've tried it a lot as a last resort, and it just doesn't work. You're better off using your gunners, if they're still alive. Some bombers actually rip their wings when turning too hard, so saying you dogfight in bombers is untrue. I also doubt you are able to dogfight all kinds of planes and win. That's incredibly hard, no, it's impossible. A relatively unskilled spitfire player will win in a dogfight against a relatively skilled Thunderbolt player. I also didn't say I care about my stats. I too play for fun. It's obvious you're a liar who's trying to present himself as some sort of pro and then likes his own comments, but then you call me "kid" and claim that I'm "crying". Come on, how can you show this infantile behaviour and then call me "kid"? Seriously?
@@iexist.imnotjoking5700 bro the P-47 can be quite lethal in dogfights, i have an 8K/D in the D-28 model. all depends on who and what you’re fighting.
i swear the narrator can make the invention of tin cans sound interesting
P-47 players are the most saltiest revenge bombers in ground RB
We need to add the Finnish Arado Ar 196 A-5 in war thunder! I’ve got a suggestion post, if you want please support it!
I'd love to see that!

The T-Bolt flies like a box of rocks and can't climb to save its own life.
But when it gets up there and start circling, you best dive before I come diving after you :)
Yup
@Gaijin: “Name another fighter that could carry a ton of bombs and 10 HVAR rockets.”
Answer: The P-38L. In fact, the P-38 could carry 2 tons of bombs as early as the J variant. The only problem is that Gaijin has refused to update the armament load out in game despite numerous official requests with supporting documentation over the years.
The Thunderbolt is like a hammer. It's simple, uncomplicated, and hits hard. It's not a maneuvering plane, but it does *not* need to be.
It can be surprisingly maneuverable when you're hauling ass and I get a lot of kills from people underestimating how scary a p47 is when it's fast. But you gotta get it done quick before you bleed all the speed in a turn lol
"a *highly mobile*"
press X to doubt
Some P-47 facts:
P-47(all marks): Most widely-produced US Fighter (still holds this record)
P-47M: Fastest single engine US fighter to see service in WWII
P-47N: Longest Range US fighter to see service in WWII
Im still waiting for the aztec eagles skin to drop in game, and not only on the forums....
It was the most effective air squadron and it happened to be only mexicans, who did the missions the other squadrons where too afraid of doing.
There is one dope story about an aztec eagle who dove into an enemy convoy by itself deleting the whole group by himself in a single run
What a chad
What about adding the Xp-72 it seems like it could fit in well in War Thunder's current state it would be very,very fun to play perhaps even make it a premuim or event vehicle?
Premium! I haven't neither time nor skills to get event planes!
The Thunderbolt was the first aircraft I ever strived to get. With the American P47-D-25 variant being my all time favourite due to the sleek look. I absolutely loved the 47 for it’s raw unforgiving speed, and it’s skill at high altitude made it a beauty when engaging bombers. The firepower always Impressed me and I felt like I could do something no matter the belt I used. Even though it wasn’t a maneuverable aircraft, it made up for that with its durability. It will always hold a special place in my heart.
I love it so much the n model is my best played aircraft followed by both D models then the R followed by the A10 thunderbolt
As a US main I tried it a lot and I can't play with the P-47. It's just not possible. It's lack of manoeuvrability and bad climb rate is just fatal. You're at the wrong altitude? Well, then you're nowhere near as quick as the statcard advertises the Thunderbolt to be. A plane is above you and diving, and thus quicker? Too bad, you'll either get shot down or run for the airfield and get no kill or even hit. Well, then how about I climb to a higher altitude? Nope, the P-47s rate of climb isn't good enough. I don't know, a P-51 or an A6M is just much better in my personal opinion.
@@iexist.imnotjoking5700 it's good a high speed and very slow speed can outturn a 109 at tree top level if he slow as well
@@boomboomyourdoomdoom1767 It turns good at very high speeds, but that doesn't matter, because you lose your speed immediately. Also, outturning a 109? Maybe a very close to stall speed Bf 109K, but I don't think it could outturn a normal speed Bf109.
@@iexist.imnotjoking5700 flaps to combat tree top level full power he can't use flaps as they come over very easy
What’s funny is I just finished a school essay about the P-47s significance in the war, could have used this video to cite some more information
Ah yes, the flying muscle car with 8 .50 cals, my favourite American plane of the war
I like how there's a Polish air force sign on the nose
Called a mosquito ^^ answered your question Bruce.
I love the P-47 Thunderbolt, I have all the U.S variants unlocked or purchased, and I knew the Role the P-43 played in the ideas/engineering of the P-47 so I also own that too 😂 as well as every single premium or non premium, in all the other Countries Tech Tree's its one of my favorite aircraft of the War along with the Hellcat, Corsair, P-40, Mustang, Spitfire, Typhoon, Hurricane, BF-109 (Sakeen included), and FW-190 along the newer U.S. Bearcat, Corsair, Mauler, and Skyraider Variants. (Yes I have the battle pass F2G-1, and AD-1 as well) I just love the firepower and the absolute flying tank of the radial engines but I have just as many favorites of the inlines as well 🤣 War Thunder brings out the huge WWll and up Vehicle nerd in me, especially the Experimental, captured, and test vehicles they also give us, I absolutely love it, even tho my wallet does not occasionally 😂 (new years sales especially)
Thank you for covering this one, its literally my favorite aircraft!!!
The gaijin, puts the camouflage Senta púa in the P-47 used by Fab in the war thunder ae. Do this homage.
I’ve got Bostwick’s P-47 and absolutely love the damned thing
No matter how bad it get shot up, it gonna bring you home
Me - yeah right~ in warthunder, skill issue just gonna bring to significant emotional event
thanks for some oldies... They're the best.. I know they don't sell the game.. But I played war thunder wanting to fly jets.. to find out I love props more. Jet warfare in EC7 is tedious
Alexander Kartveli Georgian creator of one of the most iconic planes like P-47, P-43, F-84, F-105 and also involved in creation of A-10. True Genius
my favorite thunderbolt is the p47M and the D28 :)
The Thunderbolt is my all time favorite aircraft
it does look incredible in WT graphics magic ;)
Favourite fighter from WW2. Still haven’t unlocked it yet :(
“Highly mobile” LOL
XP-72, the ultimate thunderbolt when ;)

that's what she said
Are you planning to bring back the panther II tiger II 105cm, for your 10th anniversary ?
Ah, yes. The good ol' P-47 Thunderbolt. A legendary aircraft, and one of my all-time favorite planes.
Fantastic video, Gaijin! Loved it!
Hey Gaijin!
P-47 want to know when air start for it Will come back ?
Jug is love jug is life
TO THIS DAY, Thunderbolt I is still a beast, once you learn what is can't and can do.
Bruce = War thunder show
The P-47N-15 has to be my absolute favorite, it works so well with my American 4.7-5.7 lineup
Was watching this video while playing wt. When he was talking about a p-43, I suddenly realize that I was in an actuall headon wiht a P-43!!
Can you do a us spaa (I think it would be really cool)
サンダーボルトの紹介は嬉しい。
自分の一番好きな機体です。
Now you have a Warthog in modern jets of WT
Planes like these scare me because of my love of playing Sweden 💀
love fighting this thing, its literally just free RP and SL
depends who you’re fighting lmao
Next week Teaser??? I assume so lol
chile had some p-47 on the air force in the late 1940´s
I love this video. yep those P-47s are really good.
The Jug (gernaut). Like, is it just me oris it looking kinda T H I C C
they finally made a video about the jug!
Bring the chat back
war thunder should add the turbobolt
Thanks Bruce for talking about my favorite piston engine plane!
I wish the p47 American premium version was still in the game
Just grind it out
@@Torbert_ you can't grind a premium. He was talking about a premium.
@@iexist.imnotjoking5700 yeah, but i was refering to the tech tree one, they can just grind that one out like the rest of us
@@Torbert_ I did
@@Torbert_ it’s just the p47 looks beautiful
Are you gonna talk about the fact that "kartveli" was not even American or are we just going to ignore the maker of the literal plane we are talking about?
I'm surprised they haven't added a premium Aztec Eagles version.
An underappreciated American aircraft. Outshined by the P-51.
Edit-1:im stupid so uhhh yeah..
Wait a minute, the P-33/35 isn’t in the game… huh????
Edit-1: this is suppose to talk about the P-43 but i didn’t pay attention.
The thunderbolt is a personal favorite of mine.
Didn't like it, prefer mustang for its better versatility (all around stats at speed, climb, turn and firepower)
I don't even bring P-47 for ground RB as i prefer Navy planes for that like Hellcat, Corsair, Bearcat, Mauler and Skyraider
Why? Because their engine are tuned for low altitude and still having a good turn rate
More importantly the payload is match or even surpass P-47 payload
They also commonly armed with cannon which even more devastating than 50cal
unpopular opinion but i find the P-47 is more versitile than the P-51 in game
hmm i like it
The Americans: "no no no this thing is like trying to fly a Lincoln Towns car!"
The English: "ohhhh yesssss this plane is astounding ...why did the yanks not like it? ....works perfectly for bomber escort duty! *sips tea* "
Oy war thunder cant you fix the mission editor when intercept bomber mission its bugging
Cheers to Bruce and all WarThunder team! Amazing images!
How do I get Bruce to say “thunderbolt” for my alarm clock sound??????
Can you make a video about the a 10 Thunderbolt 2?
I just one shot a plane in my su-9
The story is, I am quite bad using planes but on mixed battles, I am great, on a Sweden map I died on my bt5 with a cap point to my name, I got into my Su-9, flying into the battlefield I notixed an A2d getting some kills, I ignored him first ti take off my payload, I forgot what happened but I know that I saw the A2d on my tail, secinds after he shot me, knowing planes can overshoot while killing a plane, I decided to fire my rounds in hoping to kill the A2d but he went hard right, luckily my downed plane rolling on the air suddenly hits the plane and got the kill with my 37 mm cannon, I wish to submit this on Thunder Show but I play PS4, I just think its impossible to just submit a replay to their account.
You can record the server replay in the ps4 then get a usb and get on the usb and then you can send it, I think, idk I never tried doing that in my ps4
thunderbolt more like Crash into ground
thunderbolt repair cost out of the game
The P47M at high altitude would put a world of hurt on you , hot rod P47M were ripping at 480 to 490 mph running 72 hg of manifold pressure and 150 octane gas to increase turbo boost , only the ME262 was faster and not by much , maybe 50 mph at best
Can we get a Bruce voice pack?
Awesome 😎 thunderbolts fun and deadly
1:03 "Meshersmit" = Meschersmitt? 😀
This thumbnail reminds me of a certain black guy with lightning
Highly mobile!?
Easily my favorite plane in WT. It flies like a dream, and while most another fighters can outurn at low speed, the Thunderbolt exells in it's ability to extend away, climb, then reset the fight.
the p47 is the most quintessential American aircraft
Rooivalk, when
I love pwane
from the thumbnail i thought this was a thunder show video for a second
Why use the thunderbolt II when you got the thunderbolt
fun fact: Alexander Kartveli (Kartvelishvili) designed A10 thunderbolt II too.
Is there any plane that is in as many techtrees as the P47?
Can you make a video series about the different Maps and explain how they came to be?
