Default

Does anyone know the default fuel loadout for the P51D arcade mode? This might be the problem with it being a dog. When the rear fuel tank was full its CoG was shifted and pilots did not enter combat in this state because of this. If its the case the default fuel load out for the P51D is 100%, that would be why it flies like a pig, until that rear tank is empty anyway.

Maybe, but check the speed at 0ft. TAS and IAS are the same there. You should still get around 380mph IAS at that height in a P51D. Remember to trim out first before trying this as you'll side slip otherwise.
