Don't know what to say. A P-51 with 20mm, larger fuel tanks, pressurized cockpit for higher altitude flights, re-enforced wings to carry larger wing-mounted drop tanks and bombs, and much more... I doubt I'd ever stand a chance. But, it would be cool to have in AH2. But man, If I saw that thing on my bomber formation's 6,  :bolt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-51VLR

Imagine all the perks we could farm shooting these things down as they climb out fully loaded or vulching them.

Wiki page is pretty funny -  :banana:
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

I'd love to be able to lay claim to the Wiki page, but I can't.  I will take credit for bringing the P51VLR(20mm) to the attention of the AH crowd however :)

The "Scorpion" was a nice touch on the Wiki site, a reference to a particular infamous player.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Well ...if we're gonna push for hypothetical improvements then I want an Arado Ar334 Super Blitz.

Enlarged fuselage with an internal bomb bay (10,000 lbs capacity)

Wing racks for RATO, external drop tanks and external bomb load.

Mannable gun points in the sides (20mm) and tail (30mm)  each with 1,500 rounds.

Powered by four Heinkel HeS 011-C advanced turbojets each developing 5,500 lbf at 10,000 rpms.

Maximum speed: 515 mph at 20,000 ft.
Cruising speed: 465 mph at 20,000 ft.

I'll make a skin and call mine "The Hammer" cuz ya'll "can't touch this!"   :rofl

From wiki entry "Wings also sealed up to "wet wing' configuration".

So yes, add it to the game. I can't wait to see the wings peel open and fall off like a A6M after a round or two through a fuel tank.
