I agree, they really did make the P51 a bad plane. It doesn't handle at all like when I got to ride in one. (Chino Air show FTW!!!) But you guys could always revert to the Yak-3? Nothing wrong with that plane one bit, besides the Yak-1 canopy.

Look down in the left side of the cockpit, there is a lever marked
"supercharger" it's set to OFF! |

I have a problem with the speed of ALL the planes. They don't seem to want to go more than 280mph in level flight. Even the ME262 only goes about 340mph.
Is it to do with true airspeed and indicated airspeed ?, I think we are possibly only seeing true and not indicated which would explain why all the aircraft seem to go so slow. or have the dev's nerfed them to make dogfights a bit more even. It does seem strange online that 1941 aircraft are as good as 1945 variants. Although I have learnt to not bother getting into a turning dogfight with my 109-G6, I head on at the enemy, firing, then as I pass I engage WEP and pull up into a 40 degree climb, wait until the person following me has dropped back about 1.5km and is a couple of thousand feet below me, then I do a Split S and repeat from the start. |

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. |

a 400mph+ interceptor @ 25000ft, like P-51 gives you, in ISA conditions, a IAS of 268mph+ Quote:
in lower altitudes, the denser air increases drag and you can't go faster as in high altitudes, like above 20000ft. |
