Muzzy,
The M is a high alt speed machine. Able to do over 470 w/Wep at 30k feet. It also does have small dive brakes, to help it slow down in a dive. You pretty much fly it like any other 47, by always keeping a good amount of air under you so you can always dive to escape. I prefer to fly it as a B&Z maching but can turn ok, but not it's strong point. It's main assets are its high top speed, diving ability, durability, and hitting power. Main weaknesses being the same as most heavy american fighters, in not a great accelerator or climber. I normally use it as an escort fighter, but sometimes use it as a B&z machine if I know I'm going to be coming in on a low fight. Also a good bomber interceptor, if you have it at height already. It's a fun plane, and probably one of the top 4 that I use. The key to it as I mentioned earlier is always leave yourself enough alt. to work with, becouse almost nothing can catch you in a dive (a tempest got me once
), so it's very survivable in that reguard.
