However the plane shown on the website is clearly the Allison engined A, so its probably just a typo and the person putting it up meant to write P51A instead of P51B.
David, I think you need to offer classroom lecture via the forums. LOL.

Me 163. Its a rocket powered interceptor armed with a pair of 30mm cannon and an absolutely unmatchable climb rate.

EDIT: I was too slow ^

Isn't it possible that both the P51A and the P51D are in the game? Perhaps they needed both of them for the campaign modes? Also, I'm missing the P-38 & P-40 Didn't Anton specifically say that the P-38 wasn't in the game? A Hawker Tempest would be neat as well. OH well, hopefully there will be a bunch of DLC planes!

It is the jet right before 1:06.

The Me-163 Komet was pretty much rocket propelled and had a tiny prop on the front to keep it stable. Also, it only has like 7-8 minutes of fuel, so watch your gauges.

BTW, does anyone know if jet engines can also explode in BoP if we throttle up too fast like in IL2?

That would be a big negative. If the testers thought blackouts and redouts were glitches....imagine the look on their faces when they exploded for no apparent reason haha!

The 'tiny prop' was not to keep it stable. It was to power the onboard generator.
