P51D should be banned ;)
« on: July 06, 2001, 12:00:00 PM »
I am a confirmed Turn and Burn dweeb fly the Niki, Spit and when i want more of a challenge the Zeke.  Took up a P51D last night for the 1st time since beta 2 - MY GOD! It is a monster! Damn near invincable unless you get stupid. Got 14 kills against 2 deaths ( 1st one i got low and slow 1 vs 4, not smart, 2nd at the end of a 5 kill flight low on ammo decided to go nose to nose against a Niki, Stupid! 6x50 <> 4x20).

Get some altitude 25- 27K, pick your prey, swoop down like and eagle and they are dead.  Leave any fight where you don't have and advantage - extend - gather some E - come back and kill the sucker.  This plane is just too good to be left unperked   ;)   ;)   ;)

They are also easy to avoid.  

If a P-51 is coming from high and behind, break into him and he climbs away.  If a N1K2 is coming from high and behind, pray you have help nearby.

 So is any guy on a motorcycle wielding a baseball bat and blowing thru a rumble in progress.

The P51D is what is known as a "one trick pony" (pardon the pun).  Sure, P51s are great at BnZ, but that is it.  They are also pretty handy at , erm.. extending :-)  That is why they are known as "runstangs".  A p51 that is dumb enough to fight with a 109 or 190 at any altitude under 20kish is a dead p51.

There is a invisible 20K sheet of atmospheric deflector shield they will NEVER come down through.

Just go below that, and watch them fly their private $30/month FLTSIM2000, without the rain effects.

Now take any other plane and go to 22-27k and you can do the samething.

Some opponents apparently just pay attention to icons and not the plane itself. Whats really fun is to swoop down on a vic..er enemy and anticipate and properly prepare for his break, then break with him (lag or lead) and blow him away, all the while he didn't know you were in a 51B, hehe.

::looks out the cockpit of his P51 to check his altitude::

Hmmm.. yep still at around 15k or so.. and yep still engaging 190's 109's and anything else that crosses my path  :D

P51 is still deadly under 20k just have to work for it more  :p

Dora ns Pony... Dora; but I claim stupidity.
G10 vs pony... pony, and it was pretty.  :)

Nice flyin Urchin; I enjoyed that immensely. Lets try a G2 vs B pony next time.  :)

The A8 fight you outta mention I had you dead to rights, I just blew the shot ;-)

Also, I never flew the Dora- that was the 2nd fight when I was in an A5 (after the A8 fight).  And yea, your kill was pretty vs. the G10, I kinda mangled that fight ;-).  

A big <S> to you, you fly the P51 as well as it can be flown I think, if not I've never fought anyone better.
