A lot of the FMs in the game are not accurate limitations as well. Also i wont name any of the ones that appear to be deliberately over done or you may all wish for them to be deleted.
But must say, the P-51D and Mustang III all perform excellent and how the books say they should, at least what i can gather. yeah there is the stall spin out but i hardly get that, then there is the fuel tanks not draining in propper order etc. The wings ripping off? that happens at 400mph and above, a turn in a P-51D is super tight at 400Mph compaired to others, if the other AC in the game had the same amount G force applied to the wings at those speed then they would snap like tooth picks at lower speed. So i think the wings are tough and can do high speed maneuvers and go into the 550-560IAS MPH range and turn with out ripping. Also, yes it can out turn BF-109s and FW-190s like history states. History books miss out the part of what alt what speed an under what conditions. Its not a plane for beginners, takes time.
The P-38 and P-47s are quite maneuverable also.
