P51 Mustang
#19

I think that is half of my problem as well. I, for sure, have what I am now calling "109 driver syndrome". I expect a lot from my crate, and the 109 delivers. This being said, there is no greater feeling then following the enemy while flying a Mustang. He noses over to run, I pull in the pitch on the prob and i have him, now i just have to watch the pull out. I can't fly a spit to save myself either, and I believe the 109 has got to be the most hamfisted friendly fighter in game. The 51 requires a loving touch, and a little smack every now and again. Up high (25,000+) the 51 is in its element. Lets remember here, the P51 was designed to go far, fast, at high altitude. The requirements of war put it into a number of different circumstances, but mostly it did its intended mission, high alt. bomber escort. If you only use the 51 at alt, you will rule the skies. I've always joked that the P51 is the only fighter in IL2 where turning rate doesn't change the higher you go. The kicker is that every other plane does, try a good ole yank n bank at 30k in a 109, doesn't like it as much as at does at 10k.
