Since 4.101 the P51 has become a very stable plane which can turn really well and put up a vicious fight even at very low altitude.

I have to say that I've now been playing HSFX 5.01 for a while and those new 109 FMs from Aaken are IMO spot on.

In IL2.. the flight models were totally fubared above 20k. Its a known issue. Oleg admitted it... as the game was originally designed around the IL2. They didnt pay much attention to FM above 20k So yeah, its an IL2/1946 problem.

ANd yes, you are right about the 109 vs Mustang. Thats the smartest thing to do. though a smart mustang driver wouldn't follow.
Like I said.. you need to know the strengths of your aircraft, against the weakness of your opponent. trying to turn fight a 109 against a spit, is not good tactics.
