There is no doubt the Mustang is broken in BoP. You only have to fly it in Il-2 1946 on the PC (which is where the BoP flight models come from) to realise this. Its a Joy to fly in that game, where as in BoP its a pig. As ive writen before its not because its not manuveable enough in BoP like some people think, Its right that the Mustang can't slow speed dogfight with the light turn and burn fighters that rely on power to weight ratio and acceleration to fight. The reason it sucks is because there is very little Energy retention in BoP which is what the Mustang was all about and where it got its greatness from. In BoP a plane with high drag (low energy retention) like the Hurricane with its thick wings, will lose speed at 0% throtle at the same speed the low drag Mustang does. This is just wrong. In fact the Mustang seems to have very high drag in BoP, it loses a ridiculous amount of energy in a turn which is what causes those sudden snap rolls leaving you a sitting duck.
