And also for the P-51D-20, please. The Mustang units in the PTO used the HVAR rocket, especially the units based on Iwo Jima.

Or a P-51K

Can something be done to the AI carrier landing routine? Currently it takes them ages to land on the carrier. Maybe cutting the distance at which they start the final approach to half what we currently have or re-doing it completely...


Thanks

There is an option for landing pattern in FMB. Try with Short Left/Short Right.
I can't remember if it works for carriers or not.

it's p-51d with another prop and a little bit worse speed? and how much worse this version? i think, even if - 10 kph, it's reason for...

plus, p-51d now 25 lbs, if I'm not mistaken, so need and 18 lbs performance...

and mustang III in game have realistic performance? apparently, it's 25 lbs, but with >605 kph at sl...

i agree with you, 20mm gun, but not mg151/20 it's good for balance, historically correct and, maybe, DT can do this version without correct ammo counter? if i'm not mistaken, yak-9k - "На приборной доске в кабине летчика был установлен счетчик оставшихся снарядов пушки." - but, and nothing...

although, it's not serious changes and we can wait, and when plane are correct it's good... but and variant when f-1 included and finished off later, i think, not so unacceptable...

next, if we talking about Fs, what about f-2 with and f-4 without armor glass (it's protection, of course, and + - 10 kph?, i seen and read something like this, so, why not if this historically correct and can changed performance of aircraft)…

and generally speaking, maybe, for all aircrafts need some new mechanism or new option like choice of loadouts, skins, etc, for different equipment, although, sometimes more optimal it’s "different" planes of one type how now...

Yep...not sure why we'd want a P-51K. Produced in a different factory with a different but similar propeller, a slightly differently shaped canopy, and I think one of the vents uses a different design but aside from that it's a carbon copy of the P-51D and in no way a benefit for us to have it. I would like to see an additional P-51D model with the higher boost and HVAR rocket attachments for Pacific operations. If memory serves, by the time Mustangs were in the Pacific they were cleared for higher boost than the ones in Europe were typically.

The Mustang Mark III currently represents a V-1 chaser and is supposed to have +25lb boost (it may also represent the highly polished wings and exceptional care that was taken by the ground crews to ensure the aircraft was in tip top shape). It was very fast IRL and in-game but I'm not sure if the performance is accurate to the exact numbers or not.

A F-1 with a MG-FF hub cannon would be potentially useful, definitely. The armoured windscreen thing I can see being less useful versus time it would take to set it up.

I don't read Russian... so what about the Yak-9K?

in total agree, but if DT wanted rework p-51s, do K maybe it's not so hard especially if he more slowly (it's main reason)...

well, it's all mainly something like "perfection", of course...

if need to select, more D-xx with new weapon for all theaters (what really need, agree with many opinions here), or K, my choice D and hvar etc too...

oh, exactly, "polished" etc... forgot about this... and i asked because wanted to say, if mustang III have correct performance, maybe need mustang IV who intercepted V-1 too (how i read)...

maybe, you not flying much times against pe-2 ? shkas very dangerous for pilot of E/F, especially without armor glass - more than UBT, i think, because many times was "killed" or had damaged oil cooler, sometimes, even oil cooler+lost ailerons at >500 m - and if you climbing behind fast "peshka" (main attack position in online wars)... plus, glass reduce speed... well, 2 reasons, why not...

of course, it's only my opinion and i'm writing too many little things...

I don't read Russian... so what about the Yak-9K?

if author of book, Степанец, right, yak-9k had ammo counter, only for ns-45, and we not have this in game...

Tried short left and instant (the last one available) - no improvement.

I see what you mean about the armored windscreens. I tend to end up flying the Pe-2 rather than the 109 so I hadn't considered this an issue previously

I didn't know that the Yak-9K had an ammo counter. Interesting!

If I were going to add an additional Mustang model to the game, it would be the P-51H.

The option of having an ammo counter in "no cockpit" mode or as a HUD display would be a nice touch.

Alternately, just list how many rounds of ammo a plane has expended. Often I practice my gunnery using unlimited ammo and it would be helpful to get a sense of how much ammo I've spent to take out a particular target.
