I always thought the P-51D in this game, was not what it should be like.
now im watching this:
It says the P51-D should
- outrun
- outmanouvre
- outgun
the bf109
now...im not so sure about the outmanouvre... but outrun.. hell yeah!
I tried this with a friend of mine today...
I was in a p51d and he in a bf109E. We flew next to each other at 8000ft... and then put full throttle.. I only gained 0.2km lead in the first 5sec... but after that...he was matching my top speed easily
And the turns in this game with the P-51 are crazy.. try doing any of the stuff you see in the 'dogfights' episode... and you WILL stall and spin. You can not even do a normal scissors at high speed :S.. neither can you pull out of a dive normally... you have to be verryyyy gentle..
there is just no way you can stay on the tail of a 109 for 5 secs in this game

.. I really hope the will change its flight model...
if not for me... do it for the americans!
