-The '''{{Specs|name}}'''of the GC II/3 "Dauphiné" was one of the aircraft received by the Free French Air Force during late-WWII as one of their lend-lease aircrafts to strengthen French and giving them chances to contribute the war. This aircraft with a tail number of 226157 (42-26157) was the 619th P-47D-22-RE and was then lost in history due to rather sparse information of its whereabouts during and after the war with only very few artistic drawings and photos proving its existence.
+The '''{{Specs|name}}''' 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"]] as one of the "Razerback" P-47s in-game, it enjoys the extensive firepower and high engine output of P-47D series; while some consider it to be too heavy for prolonged dogfights or energy fights, the generous ammo pool onboard can also means a nightmare for targets that are within its coverage and giving more forgiving chances to take out aerial targets; while its limited but sufficient payload could cause some havoc to ground targets, making it a multipurpose fighter and a good "lead-in trainer" for players.
+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.

Once you have found your target, You can then proceed to initiate a shallow dive on them and unleash your 8x 12.7mm M2s. If the enemy notices you and attempts to dogfight you, Don't take the bait and fly straight and then climb back up. Rinse and repeat until you defeat the enemy.

 The P-47 can perform base-bombing, ground pounding, bomber intercepting and traditional BnZ fighting. Sim is different from realistic, so discard the habit of bringing the least fuel. Bring at least 30 minutes of fuel, although it decreases the plane's performance a bit, it prevents constant refueling which saves time for patrolling and fighting.
-For base bombing, choose the maximum setup of 1 x 500 lbs and 2 x 1,000 lbs to maximise the damage. The fastest way to get to a base is to remain at tree-top level upon taking off. This way there is no need to climb so the P-47 can pick up quite some speed like that, even with the full bombload. It is also harder to be seen, since the P-47's dark colour will blend in with the ground for some maps. When approaching the base, check its position with the minimap to ensure it's the right target. When the base fills up the gunsight, pull up to around 500 m and then dive at the base at a rather shallow angle. When the gunsight slices past the furthest edge of the base, release all the bombs, bank to the direction of the nearest friendly airfield, descend back to tree-top level and fly back. If you are lucky, you might even catch some enemy bombers that just took-off from a nearby airfield. They will be some nice RP for you. Overall, base bombing is the safest way to get rewards but not the most efficient.

Overall, base bombing is the safest way to get rewards but not the most efficient.
 For ground pounding, you can choose to take the full bombload if you want. Use the bombs to take out pillboxes and tanks. The aiming method for bombs is pretty similar to base bombing, but there are differences for the 500 lb and 1000 lb, as their drop are different and you want to adapt the aim to be more precise, because now the targets are much smaller. Dive at a shallow angle to approach the target, try to get as close as possible but avoid crashing into the ground. When the gunsight slices through and just above the target, drop the 1000 lbs. When the target is at the center of the gunsight and fills up around 1/3 of it, release the 500 lb. The 8 MGs are perfect for killing trucks, AA guns and artilleries as they have plenty of ammo. However, constantly watch your surrounding, especially your high 6 for any incoming enemies.
