P51-b had cannons.

That was the A-36A weren't it? Or at least
the P-51A.

Excuse me but... why does this crazy Me109 pilot still have his drop tank attached?
Is he trying to blow up himself on purpose?
-
The P-51 had cannons. The P-51-B had 4x.50's.

Well Fishu, it looks like he just chewed the back end off of the Pony with his prop, so I don't think he's too worried about survival. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

The p51 or Mustang mkI had 4 cannon . It's interesting that the p51 started out with 4 cannon and ended up with 6 50cal, while the typhoon started out with 12 303s and ended up with 4 cannon . Not sure what they were thinking .
-
Hmmmmm 12 303's? That sounds like fun! Boy if you hit a guy at conv it would be instant BOOM!
LLB OUT!!!!!!!!
P51B is a P51D killer if ya didnt know (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)~

Re: droptank.
During late '43/early '44 Goering ordered the LW to keep their droptanks unless fired upon!.
He accused them of cowardice and what have you when they were bounced and had to drop their tanks to fight and thus unable to reach the bombers.
Daff

Since we already have the Yak 9 and the 205 in the game I just don't see the reason to add the P51B with 4 50 cals to the plane set. The Yak and 205 already have similar performance and lethality to the 4 50's on the 51B. Adding the 20mm armed version makes it a bit understandable but not the 4 mg version.

I dunno, Mav. There were 150 cannon-armed 51's made, and you know the fuss we hear about the the 1C and its 200 run. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Honestly, I think the 51B is a nice choice, and really separates itself from the Yak and 205 in many ways- top speed, alt performance, guns... I do think it is a horse of a different color. Fw190D-9's and P-51D's are in deep caca if a P-51B happens along- you can't say the same with a Yak or 205. The 51B just might wind up being the penultimate perk-buster!

"I just don't see the reason to add the P51B with 4 50 cals to the plane set."
Maybe because they can as they have the P-51 base to start with? I honestly see no reason ever to wonder why they add a plane. Why they did not or rather, would not is altogether different question. Did not indicates past tense aka maintenance mode and I do not foresee that with thier current philosphy.
I've yet to see them say they will not add any aircraft in production in WWII. And WWII to me that is 1939 to Sept 1945. It took several nations over 6 years to build all those different aircraft used in the war. HTC, with six people, are doing it much faster (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

"I don't see sense in adding 109F-4"
another news flash: P-51B will be used by me fairly much when I get back..
plus, its more maneuverable than D.

<Spat says bye-bye to his trusty D model and trades it in for a older model B (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)>
Its time to kick bellybutton and chew bubblegum, and im all out of gum!
-
The B pony was lighter.. climbed better. Turned better. Better at high alt with the engine pyro's selected.. and better.. much better accel at low altitude. With the malcom hood; this pony even had better vis than the D model. A significant number of USAAF B/C's were fitted with that hood...
Sadly; this one will have a cluttered forward view around the canopy frames... (don't look like the malcom hood is modeled)
What this pony lacks in gun punch will be made up for in turn and accel in the dogfight. It will be a mite less effective as an escort fighter with the short gun package, and will not be much of a buff hunter either. It will however be a sweet plane to hunt 109's and FW's in. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
I'm looking forward to it.

This is what the real one looks like!

looks like the VF should be infront of the star on the AH model?

Just noticed that the T and the VF are transposed on the HTC Version.... Oh No!
Nate... now I can't fly the 51B (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

The line is:

It is Rowdy Roddy Piper, but the movie was called "They Live". (Your title sounds like the porn version. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif))
