P-51D factory

[kvuo75]

  But put the 51D factory in and hell yeah they will fight over it.

Hmm.. will you be one of the guys defending your countries p51 factory?

I'd agree with adding strats to a specific aircraft, the P-51 wouldn't be one of those aircraft, however.

Not trying to hijack the thread, I do think some type of system that you need to progress through to unlock certain planes, or limiting some of the lower ENY aircraft would be a good. The problem with this is it may discourage the "casual gamer" into playing, as it would take longer for them to make certain things accessible.

How or what that system would be, I have no clue. It doesn't pay for me to think.

I know I would be

Why would you want to bomb a p51 factory? P51's are usually flown by not so skillful (read easy targets) pilots.

[Ack-Ack]

Why should the P51D be perked?

Because 1Boner gets his bellybutton kicked by the Mustang quite a bit.  If you haven't noticed a pattern yet, those that wish planes to be perked are the ones that are usually the target for the planes they wish to have perked.

The 51 starts to compress at 500+. If they are catching your Tempests you got too low and too slow and put yourself in that position. The Tempest can outclimb and outturn a 51. Are you suggesting a perk on the mustang because it's popular? If you guys have a problem with not being able to kill a P51 then you need to look at YOUR ACMs and BFMs and not look for HTC to pick up the slack for your lack of skills or tactics.

the tempest is best at approximately 10k and 20k, any other altitude and its speed decreases drastically in both higher and lower altitudes. the p51 could easily catch a tempest at sea level in the right conditions.

a zero can catch a 262 in the "right" conditions too.

P40 as well

I have to admit, though, that seeing a "perk the 51D" is refreshing to me . . . at least the object of the whine is the most used fighter.  Usually these whines go against the spixteen or LA-7 even though the usages are smaller and K/D ratios tend to be very similar.

Haven't seen the N1K2-J whined about much lately. Perhaps I should start a thread . . .

I was in the "perk the spixteen" crowd at one time. Those planes just ate me up all the time. I made up my mind one day that I'll figure them out. I flew one for a bit trying to see what they really could and couldn't do. One thing led to another and before I knew it I was racking up spit16 kills right and left. Still do. Most of my kills for quite sometime now have been spixteens and 51Ds.

I guess my point here is, if you're having a hard time with a particular plane..... learn it. Then you'll know what to do to kill it.

When I see a enemy P51 i grin from ear to ear

The P-51D used to be part of the "PERK THE 4" crowd of planes along with the La-7, N1K2 and FW 190D-9.  When the Spitfire Mk XVI showed up and some changes made to the P-51D flight model, the Mustang lost its place amongst the Perk the 4 crowd and was replaced by the Spitfire MK XVI.

I wish to perk ppl who want to perk some planes   

[uptown]

I have different parts of my body perked. Does that count?

i misread the posts... i put that in to make a point. and even with it being out of topic, it is still true

[RoGenT]

I say perk the people who want the B29
