P51 Mustang

ok, we get it, the spit was good, but SO was the P-51. Way better than it's being represented in this game.

I agree, they really did make the P51 a bad plane. It doesn't handle at all like when I got to ride in one. (Chino Air show FTW!!!) But you guys could always revert to the Yak-3? Nothing wrong with that plane one bit, besides the Yak-1 canopy.

Look down in the left side of the cockpit, there is a lever marked
"supercharger" it's set to OFF!

That's an interesting observation. Now Anton just needs to tell us how to switch it on.

I have a problem with the speed of ALL the planes. They don't seem to want to go more than 280mph in level flight. Even the ME262 only goes about 340mph.

Is it to do with true airspeed and indicated airspeed ?, I think we are possibly only seeing true and not indicated which would explain why all the aircraft seem to go so slow. or have the dev's nerfed them to make dogfights a bit more even.

It does seem strange online that 1941 aircraft are as good as 1945 variants. Although I have learnt to not bother getting into a turning dogfight with my 109-G6, I head on at the enemy, firing, then as I pass I engage WEP and pull up into a 40 degree climb, wait until the person following me has dropped back about 1.5km and is a couple of thousand feet below me, then I do a Split S and repeat from the start.
