Which once again never actually saw combat.

You're opening up a RIDICULOUS can of worms if you start to let stuff in like that.
It did see combat.  Repeating falsehoods over and over does not make them true.

I vote the P-51H. I'm not really a runstang guy. I prefer to stay in there and slug it out to kill those 2 more guys attacking my squadies. Lol the P-51H would be the fastest non perked ride in the game then, correct?

It would have to be perked. The only aircraft faster would be the 163 and 262.

Not anymore they don't. That was a BIG explosion. Amasing what a cannon round frome a P-38K will do to fuel.

So it would be perked along lines of the F4U-4, or more like 50 or so perks? What are we talking?

Really not sure. The real difference from the D is the WEP. It could do about 420 on the deck in wep, about 460 at 10k in wep, but you would have a big loss outside of wep.

How fast is the D on the deck and at 10k? I always thought the D did best at around 20k. But maybe I'm wrong. Well anyway, if it suffers greatly without WEP then it should be perked around the same F4U IC, as, unless it's WEP is different from the other pony's, WEP will last only around 5 minutes. So if I understand correctly, the H will have about 5 minutes to fly in, kill, and get out before it runs outa WEP and suffers a drop in preformance.

With the P-51D and H, both in WEP, the H model is 50 mph faster, at all altitudes.

So the D is 370 at sea level? not bad. Maby I WILL start using the runstang tactic I it's clear I can't do anything more usefull.


Well anyway, it seems like a 15-20 perk price would seem reasonable when everything is even.

     Strange, from your earlier posts, I wouldn' think you'd have to "run" from
