Post by: pugg666 on August 11, 2001, 11:14:00 AM

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.

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.

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

P-51d is superior to the tempest above 5,000 feet.

p-51 has superior vertical performance especially in the dive.

flown both a whole bunch and both are very good but p-51d is better than tempest

We should need other good WWII Planes than P-51H.

P51H model is relevant.

A. Didn't see service in WW II
B. ver. 1.08 is loooong released
C. Obviously the rumor was false

It did see service in WWII. It was very limited, but I know for a fact that it did. I was fortunate to come across some top secret doucuments a few months ago that stated this. If you want me to PM you these documents I will.

Your facts are wrong. It reached units for service testing, but never entered combat- never fired a shot in anger, was never shot at, never got within 500 miles of the enemy. Thus its not a combat aircraft.

As far as the P51H thread, I was looking at footage of it on Youtube and wikipedia. I searched for it on the forums and found a thread about it. I didn't look at the date, I just posted out of excitement. Sorry, that I'm so passionate about this game and community. Sorry that I try to make this game competitve again. Sorry that the date is something that I didn't look at and it's so small. You have really managed to tear down my ILAC sign and I'm going to have a hard time building it back up.
