A8 more internal fuel then what? P51B?

P51B has got the same flight time as the D version (yes I have tried it and tested it).

A8 faster but turns ALOT worse then P51B.
A8 better punch. They both take as little dammage except that the Au suffers from the one ping engine kill.

A6 is almost identical to A5. A8 is supposed to simulate the A7's. A7 was first to have some with 13mm guns in cowling and outer FF 20mm replaced by 150/21's. But A7 did not have GM-1 and was produced in small numbers.

The P-51b equipped 3 full fighter groups in the Spring of '44, prior to the arrival of the 109G10.

I think it should be a perk, and I don't think it would overbalance the arena, since the armament is pretty weak.

A-6 was first to have 4xmg151/20
It didnt have 13mm so having no bulges it had better aerodynamics than 190A-8. It had less armor than A-8. It was faster than a-8(exeption possibly being top speed at the deck)

A-6 performs nearly identically to A-5 but has 4xmg151/20 with more ammo.
