HIS argument is vapor?!??! Let's talk about YOURS... You say it's got less ammo for the guns. Okay, big WHOOP. You still have the same guns, and instead of having 400rpg like USN planes, it's got 2 guns with 400 rpg and 2 with about 300. Like Bozon said it's still enough for a large number of kills. I've landed 5+ kill sorties without rearm many times in it.
Then you're going on and on about how the 109D9 is so wonderful, and you admit you don't fly it? Where are you pulling this performance from?
I DO fly the 190D, and HAVE flown it in historic matchups and setups vs P51s. It is dominated by the pony at all alts. Speed alone means jack. The P51 does everything better than the dora.
Then you're out of touch with the P51 enough to say that it doesn't out turn ANY us plane? You say it can't accelerate? You say it can't climb? You then accuse me of smoking crack because YOU are out of touch so far you can't understand how it's even modeled in this game.
What, have you ever FLOWN the P51D? I ask because you don't fly the Dora yet have the audacity to make sweeping comments about its performance, and here we have just as many wrong sweeping comments about the P51.
Here's a tip: Check DokGonzo's link in my sig. Aside from the F4u (which is just a freak of nature in this game) the P51 handles itself QUITE well -- this includes turn radius.
SteveBailey you've lost any respect I might have had for you, posting unfounded lies about planes you admit you don't fly. It's not even that you're gushing about your favorite, you're just so far off base it's not even funny.
P.S. The P51D outclimbs the F4u1 by over 600fpm below 10k, they become more or less even as the power dips until about 14k or whatever it is, then it jumps way ahead of it again.
