Even when I take up a 51, I'll do flaps turning with anything except a zeke or a hurri. Just still have found no out right reason why a plane that can dive, run, and HO well can be fun.
If you are an effective P-51 pilot at all, you have made a study of how to use energy and angles to overcome a large turn rate disadvantage. What, that knowledge magically disappears when you try a 190? I gotta call bull on that one.
Take the Mustang, take away its maneuvering flaps, make it turn marginally less well. But make it climb, accelerate, and roll decidedly better. Give it two 20mms mounted near center-line. Voila, you got a D9. If you can figure out how to fly a P-51 but can't figure a Dora, you aren't thinking hard enough.
BTW, a 40/8 k/d in the Pony indicates a few possibilities. You either DO realize how to get the most out of a brick and are just posting this to agitate, or you mostly pick in the Pony, in which cases criticizing 190s is abit assinine. A k/d of 5 in the Pony also pretty much proves that knife-fighting Spits below 220 mph ain't ALL you do with it.
