About a 150octan fuel „boosted“ P-51D bubbletop Mustang

[JG53Frankyboy]

As a very usefull step you already added a 150octan fuel, 25lb/sq.in (80’’ Hg in USAAF terms) manifold pressure Mustang III (the P-51C looks with its RAF default skin, on non PTO maps, already like a Mustang III, just that it has 67’’Hg manifold pressure) to the game. I just have to add that the ingame Mustang III is showing 70’’ Hg on it’s gauges.

To have a similar “boosted” P-51D in game would be also very usefull..........
To use it in missions (COOP and Dogfight) to fight the highpower Ki-84s, Fw190Ds and Bf109Ks. And also it would reduce the “whine” about the Mustang in general, i guess .

The USAAF used “boosted” P-51Ds after 150octan fuel was available at least in Europe with a max manifold pressure of 72’’ Hg (combat reports are even talking about 75’’ Hg as maximum) and the Iwo Jima based Mustangs used even 80’’ Hg.

Scroll down the following page to read about the use of 150octan fuel in the P-51:

now this would be my suggestion:
with the next patch/update/AdOn (if one will appear ), “boost” the performance of the ingame P-51D-20NA (the one with the K-14 sight) to a 150octan fuel Mustang. The easiest way i belive would be to “copy” the ingame Mustang III datas. This would mean no new plane would be added..........
The game would have a P-51D-5NT with the power of game version 4.08 (at 67’’ Hg i guess) and than a P-51D-20NA with the power of 80’’ Hg ( as in the Mustang III than 70’’ Hg showing on its gauges......................).

If you don’t like to upgrade the FM of an already existing plane you still can add a “boosted” bubbletop Mustang as P-51D-25NA or as Mustang IV.

I think the most cummunity members and players would welcome such a Mustang .

Thx for consideration
