No way a mustang will out maneuver a spit. It can outurn it at high speed but at low speed full flaps or not pony will die.  Only times I have been killed by ponies is when I make a mistake and stall my plane.

  :lol Then you haven't seen some of the best pilots who fly a 51 that will indeed out manuver a spit, there's only about 5 that can do it perfectly without stalling. The spit pilots that face them on the other hand are dealing with this :joystick:

In a fight between pilots of equal skill, the one flying the Spitfire will win 10 out of 10 times in an angles fight against a Mustang, unless the Spitfire driver makes a fatal mistake.

But then again a pilot of equal skill will not make the mistake of engaging in an angles fight with a Spitfire.  ;)

You gents forget that the P51VLR(20mm) has extended wings. (Think Ta152).  Once the fuel load gets down to a managable level, with the low wing loading, the P51VLR(20mm) will eat Spits for lunch in a turn fight.  :aok

you might as well. The only time I have seen an a36 with 4 20mm was on the begining of a doco called great planes. This episode was about the p51.

Its really simple on the Mustang vs spit debate. If the Mustang Pilot knows how to fly the Mustang better than the spit Pilot knows how to fly the Spit, then the Mustang pilot will win. I've unleashed utter pwnage on some Spitfire's in mt Mustang low and slow, everything has died. Its not a matter of who can turn better, or roll better, its just a debate about who know WHEN to turn and roll  :salute
