ENY for the P-51

[SectorNine50]

The one thing I will say is that if the pilots are even, the P-51D is outmatched by most ENY 5 planes in at least one or two categories (At low-altitudes, where most of this game occurs, unfortunately).  Also, the fact that it's directional stability is so poor makes it a more difficult aircraft to fly initially, which may contribute to one's perception of an unstable gun platform.

However, in the hands of a master, it is a very deadly aircraft.

I fly the Bravo over the Delta as well Bar, however I'm not anywhere near what I would call a "master."  Fights with Spitfires still put me in a bad mood...

P51s cant turn? you get me in the DA against your spit, and yes, it cant out turn you. but you follow me at 400mph with many aircraft from the game then you see who's out turning who

also, on actual turn fights, those flaps give you a major maneuvering advantage. you just need to see that flaps do alot for a 51

I was commented one time on a reversal i did on a typhoon, i pulled up so fast that he literally lost sight on me until my .50s were passing his wing. The P51 can turn, you just need to learn its not so secret secret...

it's a troll, a bad one at that.

51's suck. I am for perking them just so they clear out of the airspace

[awrabbit]

Leave the Delta where it is . The Bravo gets more use  by dedicated  51 pilots when the eny will not let them fly the Delta.  just makes their gunnery better with the 4 @ .50 package when they return to the 6 @.50 package.  

In the right hands the both 51's can be pretty slippery.   I know that a well flown pair of  51's can keep a lot of people on their toes. and a flight of  6 to 8 ponies can clean a sector out pretty fast.

There is no twin engined aircraft in AH that can climb away from the better climbing single engined aircraft.

Outfight the other guy(s), particularly if they are in the slug of a Bf110.

[B4Buster]

Right, Karnak. I was making a point that the Mossie nor 110 excel at climbing. Both; however, are under-rated turners and are capable of TnBing with just about anything.

No, the Bf 110 nor the Mosquito are under-rated turning planes nor are they capable of angles (TnB) fighting just about anything.

[Karnak]

Well, depends.  Mossie is definitely capable of TnBing the P-51.
