btw, I just got this game after playing the demo. Yes I died multiple times on the P51 mission in demo from stalls. I use a Saitek Avi8tr stick.

True, but the positives aspects on the P-51 are missing in this game. It's top speed is wrong - this is a FACT. It weighs too much - an error that affects it's flight modeling. The p-51 should have great high speed control authority - something the 109 lacked.

But we can't exploit this in game. We can't exploit it with the fw190 either, which should have the same excellent control at high speed.

Both just seem to flop out of the sky as if it were a funny joke to play on players who happen to like those planes.
