I thought it was a 51 b/c

(isn't the difference between the b/c models is where they were built?)

B was built in California and C was built in Texas (So naturally the C was the better airplane)

A-36 Apache?  It was an attack bomber and predecessor to the P-51 Mustang and was replaced by the A-26 bomber in it's bombing role so it bears a striking resemblance to the P-51B.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

Wrong.

The A-36 was a dive bomber developed from the P51, not a predecessor.
