RAF Mustang MkIA

[bustr]

Knowing that only 200 C-Hogs were built and HiTech was kind enough to introduce them into the game.

In September 1940, 150 aircraft, designated NA-91 by North American, were ordered under the Lend/Lease program. These were designated by the USAAF as P-51 and initially named Apache, although this was soon dropped and the RAF name, Mustang, adopted instead. The British designated this model as Mustang IA. The Mustang Mk IA was identical to the Mustang Mk I except that the wing-mounted machine guns were removed and replaced with four long-barrelled 20 mm Hispano Mk II cannon.

Since our furballs are mostly 15k to the deck, this would be a perkable addition to the inventory. Kind of like a Hurri-C and a P40 had a love child..........

Woah woah woah... woah...
So my far-fetched crackpot dream of a stang with hispanos isn't as far-fetched or crackpotish as I thought?  Just what I always wanted, a P-hog!

If Grandpa Pig Bustr requests it, then it must be good! May we have it HTC?  Please?

Only after the much more produced Allison birds get done. An A36 would make much more sense.

You  guys needing to compensate for your small joysticks with 4 cannons need to relax

Would be cool to see but I'd imagine that we won't see it until the perked ord feature is implemented if at all being only 150 were produced.  Anyone know any deployment details for this bird?

The RAF used their 600 odd Mk Is and Mk IAs for low level recon and ground attack over France and Germany from mid 42 on. The Allisons just didn't have the alt performance to be used for normal fighter duties in that theater. The USAAF used their few Mk IAs for low level recon in the Med.

The USAAF called them P51s/F6As (154th Observation Squadron in Africa) not Mk IAs.

Why would the A-36 need to be perked?  Just because there was only a 150 made is no reason and if added to the game it would not cause an unbalance in the game play.  No justification for being perked, plane or ordnance.

You tease, good sir.

Thanks for sharing that, I was curious if any of these P51s made their way into the USAAF, and if so what they called them.

You know what... It was just today i was thinking "I know what we need! More Americaplanes!"...

After all, this update all we got was a remodel of the F6F.  That is one whole update without a completely new Americaplane
