Usage means jack. The best unperked Hog in the whole pigpen, the 1A, is rarely used. The Ki-84 is the best plane in the Japanese arsenal, and its used less than the N1K.
Yeah, the P-51 is a good plane for the gang-pick and run home between your legs style, but lots of planes, like the 190D, the "fast" 47s, the Typhoon, and even the F4u1a excel at that (as is evidenced by their K/D ratios). What the P-51 does NOT do as well as many 20ENY fighters is ACTUALLY FIGHT. Keep that in mind when you are attacking those of us who point that it is kind of mediocre in ways not revolving around top speed-we know this to be true because we are the ones actually trying it to use it for AIR COMBAT from time to time, (which is the whole point of having this game), instead of sticking to a steady diet of cherrying.
Funny...I notice I get alot more S! flying the F4u's than the Pony. Its not like I've magically become a better pilot, its just that the plane will allow you to pull off a lot more of that "pilot ****". Actually fighting in the P-51 without all the alt and numbers is what requires more skill, IMHO, but is apparently considered less "awe" worthy...after all, yer in a P-51 and thats the bestest plane cuz History Channel said so.
