The problem with P-51 and 0,50 cal in game is simply - stability during manouvering and aiming ( shoting). The problem is that when you try in P-51 aim target there is a lot of unstability in all axis and most your bullets dont hit the target in point just spread over the sky.

We know that P-51 had problem with longitudinal stability when had full fuselage fuel tank behind the pilot - beacuse CoG was backward. When these fuel tank was below 50% stability problems should gone. Thats why P-51 pilots when had these tank near full filled ( was restriction to fill only 3/4) they firstly empty these tank even before drop tanks.

Why P-51 in game had these problem all time?

I find what is reson of these.

RL data for P-51 claim lenght of these plane = 9.83 m

In game all P-51 have lenght = 9.38m.

These look like "czech error".

What would happend if we correct these value to RL data without even changing CoG value ( COG for P-51 is 0)

Woala P-51 would be more stable during manouvers and aiming and now your bullets will hit target more focusing and precisly. I tested it and it really works for these plane.
I could say that even API ammo belt is not really need now.

I remember very good that before some of patch 4.XX P-51 was more stable in aiming and was really effectivnes weapon agains german planes. These was change in some patch many time ago - so it could be that these error cause it. The same is with P-47 roll rate at high speed. After the same patch P-47 loose their roll ability at high speed and 1C never correct these. Dont know really why beacause is rather simply change.
