At least it doesn't have the very vulnerable radiator and coolant lines that made the P-51 a fragile ground attacker.

The P-47, with its big P&W radial and 8 50 cal machine guns, was the better beast for that job.

The P-47 would have been a blast to fly. My personal favorite. 2000+hp, 8 .50cal’s, and a stout airframe, what else can you want?
