Yep, Foz is right on 360 the Mustangs are pretty lame in any dogfight. If you want to use one though take the P51D and B&Z only and never try to turn with any undamaged plane. Its best used in supprise attacks jumping down on someone who is chasing another plane. Take it into a 1v1 and you lose every time. Me and SEE where testing out the planes dogfight abilitys at high altitude tonight and the low to medium altitude La.5 still murders the P-51 even at 20,000ft. The Mustang is terrible at that altitude, stalling even if you think about turning (would be useless to the B-17s)

On PS3 with the patch and not using a custom button layout, The P-51D is ment to handle much better but its still a B&Z plane. The blackouts should work to the P51 pilots advantage to, but I think alot of T&B players just play with the brightness turned way up. (maybe the blackout should have been more like a circle wipe to solid black?)
