Im a real big American fighter fan, I just find it hard to believe a p-51 B or D is crap in this game. Arguably one of the best fighter aircraft ever conceived in time of war. It was highly maneuverable and was one of the faster aircraft. Normally in a flight simulator id pick a P-38 Lightning, but to no surprise it isnt on here( tear) then id go with my two second P-51 or P-47. I think there is a method to the madness. Ive only been playing online now for a couple days and i have seen what a P-51 can do. As Chuck Yeager said its not the plane its the pilot. Me and a guy were flying P-51 D's against 2 Bf-109 G-6's. Now seing as im a rookie pilot the krauts had fun blowing me out of the sky, but some of the maneuvers like pulling the plane straight up, cutting the throttle and flipping back on your enemy did work. Or it allowed my wingman time to come up from behind and clear my six. Any plane can match another, just take unpredictability and the mind set of a mad scientist with a crazed look in his eye.
Also what about FW-190's they had there benefits too.. Let me hear about them too? Also maybe some tactics for us who will fly the P-47/P-51 regardless of better aircraft to choose....Please not im not trying to be cocky just excited to get to fight live opponents.
