i agree but i still have to say i do not exactly "FEAR" 6 50s in a fw190
sure ive been killed plenty of times by them but thats usually a luckshot to the pilot or controls, rarely have i ever lost a wing (dont remember that in the last year honestly), and usually it takes a nice long burst to kill with the 50s, while a single good deflection shot will at best explode to 50cal, and at worst shut off his engine (most often its either a wing lost or black smoke/fire from engine).
now 4 20s are a HUGE threat in anything you flyy be it a fw190 or a b17, that loadout just obliterates anything with a good deflection shot and bombers with a good 1 second burst to a vulnereable spot (or just dewings it)
and as for the p51 i think its a greatly misunderstood plane
most people who fly them casually are just plain terrible, as in riupping wings off at high speed, stalling at low, and trying to outturn a zero ect
the better pilots are more then a fight and often times i end up with a damaged plane heading home. still on most online servers these pilots camp altitude and are more of a nuissance that either bnz (easily countered when hes at 700+) or try to get you when you climb to attack him (countered by flying far enough he does not see you climbing or avoiding high altitude all together). they rarely kill you if you know what you are doing but still removing a good p51 pilot from the skys is a very tough job, as he can almost always run away from you.
in good hands the p51 is downright a very hard plane to kill, then again same can be said of anything which they just will not let you get anywhere near them without fertilizing the landscape with your wreckage
