Quote from Tankro Kato: Congratulations on the release of P-47 II MD. I was deeply honored when offered the role of illustrating the main visual. The passion of the original developers in crafting a visually effective game within the limitations of the time greatly inspired me. I hope my illustration captures that same spirit...
