So, what're those thingies hanging off the wings? I found the picture somewhere on the web without any description. Thanks!

Those are the new Hispano 80mm cannons that are going to be added to the Pony in 1.08.

Looks like a pair of Argus pulse-jets to me.

Those were the prototype "photon laser cannon" everyone talks about in AH. The production models were much more compact and fit inside the wing................

they were using the p51 as a flying test bed for jet engines......

or you could call it the 262 pilots nightmare

Hmmmm...I like all those answers. Whatever it is, I think everything else in 1.08 should be put on hold while HTC models these for my P51! I might allow Hangtime to use them once and a while too.

Flak is right i think,they are argus pulse jets, (V1 right?)

Yep, seems they took engines from V-1 flying bombs and put it on their P-51.
