Why? The P-51B can carry everything it did, is a lot faster, especially at altitude, and has a longer range.

Why do we need an underperforming P-51? They'd have to model an all new airframe (3-Bladed prop, scoop on top of the nose, nose guns, dive brakes) for a plane with no real use outside of scenarios.

Its only benefit would be as an earlier Pony in an RPS setup, but it would be used as a fighter 90% of the time, and not as the ground attacker its meant to be. Think the Il2 to the Nth degree.

I know when they added the Malcolm hood pony B, the plan was to make an A36 to keep the birdcage in the game.

Anyone who suggests adding the cannon-armed variant again is getting a live squirrel dropped down their pants with orders to go for the "nuts." :p

lol!

I might fly the A36 as a fighter just for the low ENY and challenge. However I'd be doing it without 20mm I believe, as that model almost 99.999999999999999993% assuredly won't ever see the light of AH's day.

Seriously, though, the Mustang IA would be nice. Brit 4x hispano, acceptable low alt performance...
