Early P-47Ds start with 75gal DT and will later receive 110 and 150 gal DT (single tank under fuselage), later Ds may have 110/150 one tank under fuselage or two of them underwing.
AFAIR they were never able to achieve the ranges of P-38/-51

Ok I have to agree. That said, here are several quotes from "The Men Who Killed The Luftwaffe": "Variants of the P-47 were introduced during the spring of 1944, which along with many other features, included nearly 20 percent more fuel. So with more internal fuel and two 108-gallon drop tanks - one under each wing - the P47 was finally able to range over a great part of Germany. The availability of the 150-gallon steel drop tanks by mid-1944 made it that much better. The P47 ...finally had the range to escort the bombers deep into Germany". I see from the 1944 D-Day start that two 108-gallon drop tanks give the P47 in the game a range of 43 miles, while the 150-gallon drop tank only gives it a range of 38 miles. Those ranges do not seem to reflect 'deep' into Germany. Am I missing something here/

2x 108 vs 1x 150 ?

[BK6583]

OK - I see the obvious contradiction. My point is that 43 hexes doesn't hit as me being able to escort 'deep' into Germany.

NP, mate. There's a decent chance I'll come back to this game soon so might update the guide with all the posts in the past 3 years.
