I don't know it was a documentary. Seemed legit.

'docu's' like dogfights are clearly biased. Saying that the P-51 was the best dogfighter is not close to true. At high altitudes, it could outturn a 109, but at low/medium altitudes, it was not a dogfighter at all.

The P-51 in the PC Il-2 1946 is correct. But even choosing it in that game, wont give you many kills. Unless you pick your fights, at high altitude, and boom and zoom.
I normally play in a server were the dogfights are in the 0-7000 ft range. never seen a P-51 with a kill/death ration above 1:5. Spitfires and La will own the P-51 at all time at those altitudes

The BOP P-51 is rubbish for sure. But dont expect it to be a weapon of choice after the update. The dogfights in BOP are close to the ground, with a lot of turning. The 2 biggest weaknesses of the P-51

That's true. I'd honestly like to see some high altitude missions, bombing and escorting, in BoP though. It just seems a lot more exciting for me the higher up you are. But your right Morgoth, everything in BoP is very low altitude. Still, I'd like to try my hand and see what I can do with the post update P-51 though.

Thought this was going to be about Battlestations Pacific. LOL
P-51D was a great plane. You don't escort bombers at 2000 ft. It was a late war plane, it makes sense that it was one of the best of the war.
