P51 Mustang

If its loaded with 100% fuel it will fly like a dog. The real P51 did when the rear fuel tank was full. Pilot didn't go into combat with it full as it affected the CoG.

The mustang handles like a 5 year old who's been force fed 8 cups of coffee...

I hate it, i actually hate it. Its really trying my 'no respawns' aproach to the single player game, although in the single player at least, it will out run anything they throw at you..

And my P51 in 'Wings of Fury' on the Commodore Amiga seemed so agile

What's up with the P-51B having something like 30+ bombs in the missions where you start out by bombing 3 ships? Is that a realistic load-out for this plane? I figured they just had one bomb on each pylon (the bombs automagically reappear in the external view).

Anton has said it would get boring for the mainstream if you had to fly all they way back to base and re-arm and re-fuel that would take hours to do one mission. Think about it.

I suppose that makes sense, but it seems weird to take such major liberties when trying to create a realistic experience in so many other ways. I tend do think that this is just sloppy mission design and that a shorter, more difficult mission would be just as engaging. Or just give us a bomber instead of a fighter with a bomber payload.
