the 1a was lighter and more nimble than the merlin powered mustangs.  It was very fast at low alts (below about 12k) and could chase down or get away from 190's on the deck.

No, the Mustang Mk1a (P-51, with no letter designation for USAAF) weighed less than the P-51B, by about 300 lbs. Typically, the Allison engine installation weighed less than the Merlin. I do not believe that there was any significant difference in drag either.

I would expect the Allison Mustangs to be a bit more maneuverable than the P-51B and have an even greater advantage over the P-51D. However, its middling acceleration and climb offsets that.

What would make the Mustang Mk.Ia a premier ride is the guns. Does anyone think the Tempest would be perked if it was armed like a Hurricane Mk.I? Despite its speed, it would be a hanger queen if it wasn't for the quad Hispanos.

Yup and look at em -
1) Spit 1 - Hanger queen apart from scenarios.
2) Spit 5 - Best spit in the game.
3) Spit 9 - Be nice with a Merlin 66, as it stands it's a mongrel version of different Spits (fuel tanks etc).
4) Spit 14 - Ridiculously overperked!!!!!!!!

Let us have -
2a) Spit 5 with 4x20mm option.
5) Spit LF MkVIII with clipped wings.

P61 i can see a piont in.

WHAT in the name of everything holly AH do we need a B29 in AH for??

So you can drop tons after tons of bombs on more fields to wreck more fights???

Its bad enough we have lazer guided bombs now that can shut a field down in a single pass.
