I thought the COG effect on stall is opposite. Rear forward COG makes your tail heavy, and for the same lbs of stick pressure, you get larger AOA displacement. It is the sudden large AOA change that causes accelerated stall. Isn't it why P39 was so prone to stall and spin in RL because its rear mounted engine caused significant rearward COG shift? Besides, P51's main issue in current game is lack of stability. You can fly fast but you can't shoot straight. In this aspect, HSFX did a lot better job than the stock. I believe most of p51 complainers are not arguing whether p51 cog should be moving forward or backward. The main issue is due to the limitations of the game, you cannot have inflight COG shift like what a real life p51 can. So to be fair, might as well model 100% fuel loaded p51 with the same COG as 30% loaded one.
