P-51D... the new La-7???

[Serenity]

Now, I dont have more than 10 minutes in the La-7, so I dont know JUST how n00by it is. But last night I spent the night flying a P-51D... and I gotta say, compared to my Bf-109 G-6, that pony flies itself! Is it just me, or is the Pony too good for its ENY? An oppinion poll.

There are several like that.

Run away while you can.

You have stumbled into the 1945 plane set (yes, yes, I know, they were introduced in 44, I'm focusing on what was flying at war's end).  Your combat capabilities will become eroded if you stay here.  Get back in your G6 quickly.

lol. Im actually about to give the Yak 9 a try. Is that another flies-itself plane?

Try the jug it flys it self Only way I could possibly get a kill in it.

All American planes have an aerial version of that self-driving satellite GPS box that Semi-Trailers had in the Simpsons. Where do you think they got the idea?

You are comparing a 1943 airplane (109G-6) to late 1944 airplane (P-51D)


Better stick with 109G-14 (late 1944) to fite late war stuff.

Actually, I find more sucess with the G-6 than the G-14

Try stall fighting.  You'll see the P-51 is not so hot there.  A Messerschmitt will beat a P-51 in a stall fight.

lol. Im not suicidal.

Since I am a duellist by nature, I rate the P-51 as one of the four hardest ships to fly in this game.  Of course if all you do is pick off the cripples, or fight from numerical advantage, then yes it is rather easy due to the speed.  But then that makes the FW-190 even more "easy," because it does all that better than the P-51 at normal altitudes.

I was flying it against 3v1 odds over TT.

but he'll get picked right away if he gets too slow... let's say in a 10 vs 10 furball.

The P51 is good, if u know to handle it, but you realy should fly a la7 a bit more, that will answer your question.

If you be more successfull in the G6 than G14, you might fly it only in and above rathed altitude. Otherwise the G14 is clearly the MUCH better plane.
