come again? :( dont get what you are saying :confused:.. is it good or bad in your eyes :P?

I think the reason people are complaining about it's performance is that in the campaign it is wieghed down with bombs or rockets.

I think what he's saying is that when we use the P51 it seems under powered and rather poor (considerably poorer than it should be), yet when you fly AGAINST it (AI controlled P51) then it will run rings round you and out perform you.


Guess were all doing something wrong then...


Im not sure if this is true because ive not flown against one yet other than MP.

You just described all video/computer games ever made. The AI will always have unfair advantages. Better turning, climb, no overheating engine (non stop WAP usage), etc etc etc...

Well I'm doing the campaign now, Battle of The Bulge, and I can say that I'm hating the P-51. It's ok for ground attacks, but I can't stand it in a dogfight. I'm even considering doing the level on arcade, it's pissing me off so much. I really just want to get to the single missions anyway, to unlock some really cool planes.

But the one thing I did like about the P-51, was the cockpit. I really liked it because it was so spacious and you could see a lot, unlike some of the planes especially the soviet ones, where you can't see anything.

The Ironic thing here is that's not even the P-51's real cockpit in the game. :)

Fixed! LOL

It could just be me, but for some reason, it feels like the P-51D's top speed is faster in Training missions, than in the MP modes. Is it supposed to be like that?

The 1st mission in Battle of Bulge is a total nightmare using the P51, trying to dogfight on the way to meet up with the bombers its just impossible, the P51 just wont turn hard enough, always trying to stall. I have turned down the sensitivity and have no problems with other aircraft in the game at all.

I am also consiering doing the mission on arcade just to get the P51 out of the way, its such a dog to fly.

Im just glad i dont really use this crate to be honest. Nice plane, look great. But flies like a freight train!!!
