Are you saying these aircraft could exceed Mach 1 in a dive in Real life ? If so is there documentation to support this?

I didn't say that this is true of real life.... This is possible in the game though

In reality it is a straight out Mach number issue with recovery G also being a variable.

Let me look it up but the bird any version shouldn't suffer any problems below 10k. This is old stuff but I know for sure all the 38s we have suffer way way too early in terms of speed. Again let me get some numbers put together for you. These are based on the copies of the manuals I have.
Regarding P51 Wing shedding are you referring to Speed/aerodynamic affects (like air getting into the wing structure and ripping it apart) or Structural loss via Over G ?[/QUOTE]
Yeah not talking about exceeding Vne but talking about pulling any sort of G at certain speeds will rip the wing off. This was a problem with some of the early versions but it shouldn't be an issue in the later D models
