The P51 is a very balanced plane. In the right hands it can do almost anything. It can out fly almost every plane and keeps E better than most planes. It's only fault of course are the 50 cals which tend to make P51 have to work harder and longer for their kills in AH. Compared to the Temp, the P51 would dance all over it and eventually gain the 6, although I'm pretty sure the Temp might be able to run away, maybe. If the Temp gets one shot on the P51 its pretty much over. a lot of people really fly too timid in the P51 and you don't see many people get low and slow with it. The P51 can tangle up with most any plane from the start of the fight given the E. However, as the P51 gets slower it won't out turn planes like the Nik or Ki84. You have to be quick and aggressive. I think alot of people fail in the P51s because they don't fly it aggressively enough and dont really use its amazing flap platform to work positions in a fight.
