Kind of unfair comparing a P-51D to a Spitfire Mk. Vb. That particular Spitfire was produced in 1941, the P-51D not until 1944. I suggest finding the stats for a Mk. IX, or even a XIV considering when the Mustang was actually in combat. You just have to fly it high and fast, never over-committing to an enemy and absolutely never bleeding off your speed. It takes a lot of hours of practice, and a ton of patience, but it is a very rewarding aircraft to fly and succeed in once you've learned how. Fly it like you'd fly a P-38, never EVER turn fight with someone.
