[GScholz]

What planes are you currently working on/upgrading? I can't wait to see some more beauties!

[mipoikel]

I think it is Brewster.

[Rafe35]

P-51C

[BUG_EAF322]

I'm realistic it's probaly anything except the  P38 G/J



Man there are P38 drivers too

like hurricane drivers
like p40 drivers
like jug drivers
stang drivers
Kurt Tank drivers
109 drivers
spit drivers
and even zero drivers got at least 2 planes to choose

I mean there is a crowd there that is gonna like it

Why would you want a P-51C? It's exactly like the P-51B, just made at a different factory.

I have a lot of old video drivers laying around not doing much of anything.

"Why would you want a P-51C? It's exactly like the P-51B, just made at a different factory."

True, but there were differences between subvariants of the P-51B/C which might making a late model useful to have in the MA (our P-51B is a fairly early one, a P-51B-7-NA I think).  From the P-51C-5 and P-51B-15 onwards, a different engine was used which improved performance at lower altitudes.  While not necessarily viewed as an improvement by pilots (it had the side effect of reducing performance in the all-important 25K plus range), such a variant might be useful in the AH MA.

It is not unlike how different models of the Me-109G had different engines.

That is just one reason why he might want a different version of P-51B/C.

A different B/C with a Merlin engine (like the D) would make sense, but I get the feeling that a lot of people somehow think that the P-51C is a later model B with the Malcolm hood. The fact is that the B and C models were produced simultaneously and were practically identical, and both could have the Malcolm hood.

I don't care what it is as long as its either Japanese or Russian in origin. If its another blasted USN or USAAC plane...well I already fly USN planes so why would I want another US based ride. Especially a bomber or another fighter. Lets have something with a huge meatball or red star on the side! I need aiming points dangit!

I get that feeling too actually.
