I dont know why i bothered putting the P51 through its paces prior to patch, but this patch seems so far away and with no news on it and screen shots etc appearing for something on the pc im starting to get a little worried!!
Anyway -
the P51's speed i found to be rather poor, it should be much faster i find, and getting to the above speeds..... took forever!!
Noted by most is the ability of the P51 to stall or spin at the slightest pull of the stick (its a nightmare).
Well i found above 10000ft with over 300MPH on the clock you can pull a turn and you wont spin or stall, though you will lose speed very quickly and wont be able to conastantly stay in the turn, also noted is how wide the turn is!! its ridiculous.
All in all, the 51 is a mess, but we all know this anyway so theirs nothing new here really. What did suprise me was how ncie the 109K was to fly. Im a hurricane/spitfire pilot so dont really fly the luftwaffe kites much. But the 109K i found to be quite a joy to fly. Though noted a tabove 20000ft it did "shake" a little and seem to have some vibrations, so suggest keepnig it below that height.
Would be good to get another pilot online for a mock dogfight (not actually shooting each other) when the patch is released, or prior to the patch if we know what planes are not getting updated so we can learn a few things about them, top speed, ability to turn etc etc, the usual stuff. Or i can do it on my lonesome i dont mind
its quite enjoyable and relaxing flying over the english countryside in peaceful times
