Just got in about 30 min over lunch with the P51 D-NT. What a mess. It went from an already fairly strong overheat model to overheat every single pass now if you push it above 90% power and pitch.

Just one or two swipes in a FW dogfight and I am in overheat all over the place. Overheat horizontal, overheat in seconds combat climbing, overheat even in a dive. I spend all my time just taking quick swipes and then exiting to circle while I drop pitch, rpms and throttle to cool back down.

Yes, I know, myriad posters will write in to say what a shtty pilot I am, etc....

...But, this is a bit much, no ?
