Exactly. I actually really like the handling on the P-51. It's slightly more of a challenge, but for me it feels a lot better, and a lot more smooth.

sorry to ruin the party but i prefer the spit because it turns better i think a turn fighter can beat a BnZ fighter (with a lot of WEP usage)

To gain on a bandit, I do lots of yo-yo's and don't copy their feints; they love the rolling scissors though so careful you don't overshoot.

Do some lag turns too - don't always try to tighten the radius. The 190 has good acceleration so will fair better out of that move than you.

Oh yeah don't get me wrong, the Spit is still my favourite! Awesome plane (according to my extensive virtual experience lol)
But like you said, it takes a different style to fly well. It's like going from a sports car to a muscle car. Both are capable, just different.
