Well sort of.oko maybe a touchy subject, but even more confusing...why is the Mustang MkIII so much better than the P51-D (my point) its is the same airframe?
Well sort of.
The Mustang III was the P-51B/C, the razor back model.
In Il-2 the Mustang III has 25lb boost, while the P-51D only has 18lb boost.
I think the p51 is overrated. The f4u is much better.
I actually think that if you keep it flying at the right speed it comes into its own.
High up and against Bf109K's it will hold its own. The later flight model in IL2 has made it easier to fly...
I sure had fun with it during my campaign building days when I made a Y-29 story. Here it is.
i couldnt fly the p 51 it seemed to spin every time i threw it into turn !
had to be really carefull if i ended up flying it in the campaigns didnt seem to great to me
Well, the Mustang is great at higher speeds or altitudes, or both. And I don't think many flight sims can honestly get close to reality. I mean, I once shot down a plane while flying a Buffalo with the rudder ripped off. (I have the picture to prove I flew without the rudder, too) And the Mustang, despite my preference to Hellcats and Corsairs over the over-hyped Mustang, was a good plane. But honestly, I think the Corsair outperformed it in nearly every aspect. On top of that, Thunderbolts should've served in Korea, not Mustangs.
i thank the p 47 was better down low were the p 51 was better up hi
the p38 was good in the medum to low and with better firepower
and the p47 had better fire power then the p 51
