another 200-production run plane with uberhispanos?... :rolleyes:

However, perk it with 10 points, and am all for it...after we have here all the lot of planes we are missing first. That way in 5-6 releases you **may** get it  ;)

I believe that one is Mustang I A with Allison engine ?

Good plane to 15k but suck after that. No reason to perk.

It really didn't suck that bad above 15 or even 20K. 25K however was pushing it. This bird could do 410MPH at 20K.

From Baugher's site:
"Specifications of P-51A-10-NA:

One 1200 hp Allison V-1710-81 twelve-cylinder Vee liquid cooled engine. Performance Maximum speed was 340 mph at 5000 feet, 360 mph at 10,000 feet, 380 mph at 15,000 feet, and 390 mph at 20,000 feet."

390 or 410mph @20k, Quite fast anyway.

Edit: Looks like 109 G-2 and 190 A-5 could be good match for that one thought I would rather see one with .50 cals   :)

We definitely need a Mustang I.  Probably should perk the cannon-armed ones (Ia) for rarity.  Allison engine Mustangs were in service through the end of the war.  Hopefully as HTC begins to cover early/mid war this plane will be added to the game.

i agree...add a pony with hispano's and perk it. 10 - 15 would be about right. and maybe drop the perks on the F4U-4 a little bit. 15-20 maybe?

Why perk a plane that saw service before any of the non-perk ones?  You guys are just AFRAID of the pony...

I'd like an La-7 with 4 hispano's please.  Since the goal is to get an unbeatable plane, I think the La-7 would be a better pick.  I'm sure somewhere, someone modified the La-7 to carry 4 Hispanos.  Even if they didn't, I bet the Russians wished they had, so I think that counts enough that we should get the La-7 with 4 Hispanos.

The goal is not to get an unbeatable plane (caus it aint fair). The goal is to get a pony that gives out a better BEATING to other planes  :D   :D   :D
(I say replace the P51b with it   :D and dont even change the colour)  :D
