Or how about at least adding ground start default, and air start as an option.

Air start should not have been in this game as only option. Even the dumbest console player can get a plane off the ground in arcade setting.

The ability to re-arm should added after ground starts are added first or both if possible.

No idea if it's been mentioned.

The P-51'B' in this game is actually a P-51 (with no variant abbreviation; i.e. Not P-51A, just P-51) which is a Mustang Mk.Ia (RAF equivalent)with 4x 20mm cannon. These were requested by the Brits. The plane had an Allison V-1710 engine equipped with a 3-blade prop, noted by the intake on top the engine cowling.

The P-51B's were much different: Merlin-powered, inlet at the bottom of the cowling, 4x 0.50 cals, deeper oil/rad cooling intake. This was the Mustang Mk.III, and is actually considered the best of Mustangs in terms of performance.

P-51/Mustang Mk.Ia/NA-73X

P-51B(C)/Mustang Mk.III

Strange this mistake could be made since the P-51B/Mustang Mk.III was in IL-2 1946 and was favored by many a Mustang pilot.

Everything looks great other than that.

Nice Post SgtPappy. I really hope the devs are reading this and can change it in time for the patch. Its such a stupid mistake. Myself and others have mentioned this a few times before, http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...&postcount=526

It could be changed to just P-51 but that would still really be wrong. Its an RAF plane so can only be called a Mustang IA.

You would never see an RAF Harrier GR.3 be called an AV8-A for example.
