Anyone out there willing to teach me what you know about fighting in the 51D?

I am not a n00b, per se, but do wish I could get more out of this plane and be able to kill 2-3 per flight instead of 1 kill and 3 assists.  

I have been flying for about 8 months.  My main rides are the Dora, 51D, LA-7 (for defense), and the F4U-4.

PM me, or reply here.  Thanks all.

GrmRpr was offering training in the DA for the P51. If you see him on line PM him and I'm sure he'll be happy to help.

Is GrmRpr a good stick in the 51D?  I dont recall seeing him in game, at least him shooting me down if he is Bish or Rook.

Thanks Morph.

Check his score, 63 kills and 17 deaths in a P51D.  I would say he has something to offer :)

Well the only time I fought him repeatedly 1 on 1 in the MA, he was in a p51 I was in a 190a5. We did a couple of merges and he was doing the lame shoot-in-the-face and extend routine, so I obliged in a vertical HO and killed him. I had fun nonetheless, so I PMed him a salute and a "good fight" to which he replied "Nice HO dweeb!". After that he was more timid in his p51 as we kept meeting 1v1. He usually had more and more alt every time, in the course of about 5 engagements.

Nothing spectacular. Flew like a dweeb. Died like one too. Every time came back at more and more alt. Although in ONE of the fights I liked how he latched onto me, can't recall what he did but I just remember thinking "oh, that was nice" as he saddled up.

That only means he's timid, opportunistic, and cherry picks :P Can't go by score alone.

The guy might be nice to y'all, I'm just adding my experience with him. Nothing against him, but he was rude, and nothing spectacular, especially considering at the time I was flying (this was 2-3 months ago) I totally SUCKED in a 190, to boot.

Translation: He flies with an E advantage as much as possible, picks his targets carefully, and blindsides anyone that isn't paying attention to whats going on around them.

Sounds smart to me. He's flying that thing like it was ment to be flown, BnZ.

what kind of training?

learning the TnB envelope? find a good pony guy wqho knows his stuff and go to the DA.

learning tactics?  find a good pony guy and wing up with him.

learning SA?  find a good pony guy and use /.join for some sorties.

learning gunnery?  sheesh... practice practice practice.

learning BnZ? find a good, aggressive, yet semi-timid pony guy.

learning E-fighting? find a good, smart, aggressive pony guy.

Erm... the P51 is anything BUT a bnz fighter. BNZ fighters need to kill in a snapshot, which 50cals cannot. bnz fighters do what they do because the only advantage they might have is firepower and diving speed, while the pony can turn VERY well to boot.

P51 is not a bnz plane. While you might play at it, it's stupid because you can't kill with a snapshot, you have to get in and fight to get the kill.

I fly the P-51D... occasionally... What times and dates are you looking for to do training?

There are several guys in the 412th FS that are quite good and can probably help you out some as well.

We fly Rooks

Also, check our website at http://www.brauncomustangs.org . A lot of the training information is old, but most still applies to the current AHII version of the P-51D.
