P-51H
« on: December 22, 2011, 09:41:43 AM »
I know its another American fighter plane... plus it is a very late war uber-plane but I think it would be a fun addition. Perk it for a little bit more then the Tempest. I think it would be a blast to fly!  :airplane:.

I'm on the road, able to read up on this but unable to post anything. Short answer, over 500 built but didn't fly until Feb 1945, never saw combat. This alone vetos it.

It would be thee ubber bird of this game. Top speed at optimum alt of 487mph. Climbed like a Spit and rolled like a Fw-190. It was lighter and overall better turner. This bird would own the Late War world, but alas doesn't qualify. Too bad.

That and most pilots said the P-51D was an optimal choice over the -H due to its structural integrity.

Note that the 51s that went to Korea were D models not Hs.  Mainly because of the ord carrying capability but just the  same, the H was a bit of a footnote in the Mustang book.

You're right, but it was soooo late, that it missed the entire war.   :aok

Jugler, are you just tired of us Pony drivers putting holes in your purdy pig wings? haha

Alas, us Pony-types will keep wracking up the kills, with a few runstangs giving us all a bad name. In the end...shoot'm all down, let the good Lord sort'm out.

There are 2 P-51s in the game, there are 6 Bf-109s, why are you complaining?

Seriously I do not want anymore P51s or anything else that can run from a good fight.

Because most 109 sticks use a level of skill unlike most pony sticks who BnZ or run almost all the time.
