From what I have heard on the vox and I have read the eny restrictions it is mostly a P51D problem.  The P51D has loyal following and quite large.

In my opinion the obvious answer to an P-51D ENY problem for a truly loyal Pony follower would be: P-51B (ENY 20).

I, for one, preferred the 51-B over the D model. B doesn't get enough love in the MA. It's a superb fighter!  :)

Expressed in numbers: The B has about 10% of the D model's (k+d). That's basicallly no love at all  :old:

Pony Ds make good hangar bangers.  The Bs' 500 lb bomb restriction bothers me more than the missing 2 50s.  Even the missing bubble top does not interfere with the rear views much at all.  I wish I had the rear view allowed in the pony B in the hellcat....... then I would fly nothing else.

They are loyal P51-D followers not Pony in general.

I am a mosquito VI 50% fuel and 175 RPG fan. If I am forced to take the 150 RPG package I will quit the game.
Mosquito VI - twice the spitfire, four times the ENY.

If the Tempest was unperked I would bet most of those would suddenly mutate into diehard Tempest lovers. ;)

 My point is: they aren't really "loyal P-51D followers". A true fan of that plane would't scream and kick if being forced out of that plane by ENY, but just go to the B model.
Those that just look for the second 'best' plane still available are just looking for exactly that: The best ride possible. They are 'maximum performance' followers.

That would be an interesting test.  I think it is the performance and  bravado of the D model Mustang.

I'm pretty sure there's some mix of the two, and a good deal of maximum performance following masquerading as just "loving the plane that won teh war!"

The P51's a lot more user friendly than the tempest, I'm not sure just how much people would move over.  F4U-4 going non-perked would be a more interesting test IMO.

HTC already did that test with the unperked CHog. Results were quite conclusive I think.

Probably the most insignificant F4U model of the war.

Not so sure about that... IMHo nothing is more user friendly than quad Hispano II's on a extremely fast, powerful & stable platform  :devil

Oh, it's a helluva plane if your BnZ is refined enough to utilize it, but it can get in trouble a lot easier than a pony if you push it too hard IMO.

HA!  Was before my time but I have heard the stories.  Forgot about that.  I like the hog very well, and the C fits my criteria for a good aircraft in all aspects but climb.  If it were unperked it would be the only one I flew.
