Please explain how the P-51B is better than the current LW planeset in there?

True in the hands of a capable and smart pilot it is a very nice ride. However most P-51B's that I have come across in both the CT and the MA are not flown by people that are smart and capable.  :D

Just an observation on my part.

uh...A p-47D11 only carries 1 bomb.  Not the jabo monster the D25 and D30 is.

S!

Actually the 109's are actually better fighting as turnfighters versus most of the Allied aircraft.  

The P-47D11, P-51b, Mossie and Typhoon all turn worse than any of the 109's, including the G6.  (unless it's got the twin gunpods)

And the 109F4 can give the Spit IX a run for its money.

Plus the 109's outclimb them all!

The 190A5 will low speed outturn the P-47 below 10,000 ft and will give a 51b a run for its money, very close match there.

I have been flying Allied and doing poorly.  (I think my timing is off because of an ear infection)  When I switched to the German side, I immediately started scoring better, despite the fact the Germans were outnumbered.

The Germans do have a lack of bombing capability, but there is not much we can do about that.  The 190F is a capable plane.  More durable in the ground attack role than the P-51b certainly.  For everyone who is screaming for the 110, all I can say is wait a little while...

No matter what anyone suggests or what is implemented, the CT is a damn sight better than the MA right now.  I'm tired of everyone (AW mostly) whinning and squeaking about how the MA isn't right for this or for that.  IMHO, buggers can't be choosers.

Expect to see me in the CT often.

Tac,

The 110 would not nearly match the Mossie for Jabo work, it would barely match the Fw190F-8 in fact.

The Germans should get the shaft in Jabo, that is after all where they found themselves in 1943.

BTW, Allies don't have the Ostwind.

Just a stupid question - do CT results affect your overall scoring? Is there a separate scoring system for the CT? Can perks be earned in the CT for use in MA? I assume that all these answers are no, but just wanted to confirm.

I know I will be getting my arse handed to me in the CT - but it would be a learning experience and at least I wont have to look out for that freaking LA7.
