What I mean is... Take the historical performance of the P-51 at 20.000ft.. and give that performance to the P-51 in game.. at 0-5000ft. (at least make it competative to the 109's)
Yes I know this would not be completely accurate... but I hope you will agree...that it wont make it an overpowered plane... nor even the best plane online.
And I think...that this would be more accurate... to give the real performance to the wrong altitude range.. than... whatever the P-51 is doing ingame right now :S.
We were promissed 40+ planes... but the P-51 make it -2.. because you just cant use them (hope you agree on that one)
plz... give me some feedback on this ^^ (dont flame  ) |
Somehow, the idea of giving the P51D a top speed of 438mph at sea level doesn't seem like making the game fair. What would be fair on the P51D would be reducing the default fuel load to maybe 50-60%, and shifting the planes balance forward some to simulate the effect of the rear fuselage fuel tank being drained before combat. This would mean the P51 would be running a combat load, not a take-off load with max fuel that you aren't going to be using, which would make the P51 at least reasonably competitive, and be more true to the state a P51 would be fighting in.
