Which, is too hard to do as the P-51 is under rated, thats what we are getting at...i might be getting mixed up with the other 10 or so posts about this though.

I'm not trying to prove the Spitfire is better with that post, rather I'm trying to explain why the P51's flight model is accurate.

I think the Spit is better than the Mustang

Mustang is better for the job it had to do. Spit would have been worthless for long range B17 escort missions - actually less than worthless - it couldn't have done escort at all with its range.

But it was better than the mustang in its own role - defense of British airspace.

True, but it never would have escorted plane in the first place, especially American bombers. But then, it was never meant to escort bombers anyway. And plus, the Spit at a good altitude could probably out do a Mustang?
