You sure of this? My information says the P51D had a top speed of 438mph with WEP at 24,500ft, which is a lot more than I can get out of a P51D ingame, only gives 355mph at this altitude, but is below the K4's top speed of 452mph at 22,000ft.

The only Mustang varient faster than this was the P51H(487mph at 25,000ft), but this was only just coming into service when the war ended in Japan, and as far as I know no plane of this mark saw combat.

I'll take the 109k and the P51D and i'll do the same quick easy test i did with the hurricane and LA-7, unless someone else want to?

I dont think it is correct to do any tests dat involve the P-51, before the patch... its not performing at all like it should, or like it will

Tell me about it!!!

Though i think the speed is fairly correct, but the amount of time it takes to get to that speed is wrong...along with everythnig else

Seraph,
I've noticed references to the P-51's - flaws, speed, etc. But, I'm not seeing any formal descriptions in your guide, or in the subsequent updates? Just curious...

This is because the P-51's model isn't as it should be, and, well, it's crap at the moment. It's not impossible to fly, it's just not very smart to do so. I'm waiting for the patch to add the P-51, as it should be corrected by then.

maybe what Crusader00001 is saying, is that you should just add the P-51 in the guide, and mention that it is crap.
It is a beginners guide... and a beginner might not know about the P-51 errors, and might think its his fault it wont fly.

Good point. I'll see when I can add it.

This guide should probably be updated with the changes, and the other planes, now that the patch is out!

Be my guest . Haven't got the update yet (on XBOX), so I can't really help you there.
