Shaun, will comment on your other notes in a bit, (typing from a tablet on a boat in the harbor so a bit funny), but as to the P51, Tempy etc, ... just remember, your not downshifting or 'flying' anything. You are making responses to computer code that is written to represent someone's version of what they think the P51 flies like, and that code is discrete (in the mathematical sense of meaning phase transition endpoints). No ambiguity. When I look at the source code for the additions in 4.11 it is not that advanced as you are imagining. And as much as I like your development towards IL2 Master status, cant agree with you on the P51 being weak because it was not a 'home-defense' fighter. It was a Grade A, superlative killing machine, as long as correctly used in a boom and zoom fashion (not that many online can do that correctly). I worked a bit this morning on making some Ntrks of my P51 in action and the TA. I am in overheat all over the place, and within seconds of the actual fight starting. This just doesnt gel with what some of these WWII aviation history nuts are telling me.

More on your other comments later, when I get back to land.

Lets not start yet another "P51 won the war" versus " no it didn't that was just Hollywood" thread.

Somehow those debates always deteriorate and end up in a US versus rest of the world bun fight with no connection to historical WII facts and figures on either side.
