Another thing that slightly gets to me is how any Mustang is always called a P51 mustang. Even the member here called "P51" in his sig has a Mustang Mk IV, makes me go "grrrr, you should be called Mustang not P51" whenever he posts lol. It was the RAF that asked North American Aviation to build it not the USAAF afterall, so why should it always have the USAAF designation?
So anyway, about the Mustang. Which version do you think the plane called P51B mustang in BoP acually is? Maybe it IS actually an old mkIA (P-51 with no letter) with the alison engine, which would explain why it seems so slow. Also the IL2 BoP website has the plane named incorrectly as "P-51B / MkIA".
You are right in that visualy it is a MkIA and visualy it has 4 big 20mm cannons sticking out the wings. So what Morgoth says is important. Does the "P-51B" in the game perform like a real P-51B would have with small guns and a merlin engine or does it perform like it visualy should with a weak engine and powerfull cannons? (mkIA / P-51) I hope it is the later.

IT's generally referred to as a P-51 because that's its official name. It's not our fault that you Brits decided to call it something different. We made the thing and used far more than you guys did, hence, we get to name it.
