P-51 likes to stall in a dogfight. You just need to get used to flying it. Bf-109 is quite good in the dogfights (not against spits) because of the low stall speed with a bit of flaps.

Say what now? :wink:

P-51 requires gentle control motions and you have to be going at least 200mph to avoid the potential for a snaproll. Use it like a B&Z plane and it will treat you well. Try a turnfight with it and it'll complain.

That's main problem, that the Mustang restricts to do what you would please to. I would think from a single engined fighter plane - which is actually looks very modern, streamlined, etc... at its time - that it can do everything. It's not like a fat cow as the Jug (sorry...). Although, the Jug is surprisingly good in roll rate at high speed. So Mustang's shape and outlook wickedly suggest to do dogfight with it, if you don't know it well. And you will be in deep shite surrounded by Messers or Franks. The same is the problem with the Fw190. One of the best roll rate, but slugish in turn and climbs idly.

I love the Lightning almost over everything else (except some small number made planes, like Do335, Kyushu J7W1, but they are too few, too late). Lightning also perfect for B-Z tactics, but also can turn beautifully without stalling. Also very easy to get back controls if I loose it for a sec. Very easy to accelerate, surprisingly short time required get +100km/h speed plus. The only problem is the compressibility. Simply have to get use to it. And it also have more rounds per gun, than any of the Mustangs (+1x 20mm cannon for backup...). And, centerline guns, no coverage settings required, almost... Ups!
