Cuz a CM leaked a screenshot, emails went crazy, and there is no reason to care anyway. It will be just under the "Ultimate Perk" in cost.

We asked for it, and we got it,...

Saving those perkies for so long WILL pay off!

Did it even fight in WW2? It was evaluated against the Japenese at the very end of the war but IMO saw very little if any combat.
Intresing Yak-9 versus P-51H.

"One of the first aircraft that Welch tested was the P-51 Mustang. The aircraft above is a brand new, factory fresh P-51H. This was the fastest of the Mustang line, being capable of 487 mph at 25,000 feet."

If true:

1) No real issue it'l get flown like a popsicle plane, and better cost at lest as much or more than the Me262.

2) Pathetic and starts a terrible trend in AH.

So.

I ask for F86 and Mig15. And F22 as well.

You guys have been had by a doctored screenshot.

Maybe Animal and SOB were goofing on everyone.

Im not sure really.

They usually are great sources and upstanding community guys when it comes to getting folks whine-wound-up.

P-51d is already invincible
a p-51H would be a stupid addition. its not even a ww2 plane.

Spitfire XIV would be a much better use for scenarios HA TOD etc.

p-51H is a late war gadget aircraft with little use other than being a super uber MA dweeb wagon

There was no email, but I bet Thunder could provide you with anything you want.

I heard we were gittin the tiger tank.

But; since fester and the LW are so annoyed with the concept; maybe we will get an H model pony to hunt jets with.

This isn't HiTech's but if it were it might look something like this maybe hehe!
