Request for P-51B
« on: July 24, 2003, 10:03:51 PM »
Seeing as the P-51B will be getting a makeover (from what I understand, all planes are being redone for AHII) could we get and upgrade to the Malcom Hood?

I think we might see a lot more Bravos out there if we get one that you can see out of. :)

Malcolm hood = 1 perk point
Rear view Mirror =  1 perk point

Seriously: make people earn the optional extras.

Don't make them too expensive but make it so you have to get a few kills to get them.

Very good suggestion.   And so the old canopy art doesn't go to waste, could we get a P-51A or A-36 Apache as well?     The A's were used in the CBI by the 23rd FG, and 500 A-36s fought in N. Africa/Italy in 43-44...

p51c was faster climbed better flew further than p51d but had less visibility and guns than the d.

seems like it would be an interesting addition for mustang dweebs. i bet they would actually use it too.

Cita.. have you gone mad?

Who gives a rat's arse about .2 minutes to altitude or 2-3 MPH at altitude? What good is that?

A Malcom Hood on the B would be a far better addition than a C model.

Besides the next variant of the Mustang HTC does should be the H :D so we have something that can compete a little better with the LA7s

Oh boy, if we're ordering custom Mustangs, can I get the Strega P-51 with the clipped wings, clipped stabilizers, super aerodynamic canopy, souped up engine, and composite reinforcements?  :D

Of course, it still wouldn't matter, I'm still no great pilot.

i rather have the King tiger with wings and and jet engines. . this way i will have enough armor to protect me  from getting shot down , and also i could land and attack ground targets...lol

I guess i would get killed by the magic BB in that to so it would not make a difference. Besides if it wasnt for getting shot down i would run out of gas and ammo anyway and have to land and re up a plane
