P 51 FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM UPDATE

'The Need for Speed' is a worthy credo for all Mustangs. This is an awesome plane for those just starting out in Realistic Battles, as the 20 mm cannons are good at scoring quick victories. Also be sure to utilise the flaps: they are a major asset to the plane's overall turn-fighting ability and sometimes allow it to survive a turn-fight with Soviet aircraft. Use caution though, as the engine will retain its heat when constantly on 100% power, so it takes a bit to cool down. The engine will have a hard time hitting the 'overheated' mark, even when using WEP.

The P-51, when fully upgraded, is an extremely deadly opponent, especially as a rank II. The best way to use the P-51 is for Boom & Zoom. The 20 mm cannons are powerful, but with only 500 rounds do not try to go for more than what the P-51 can handle. The armament is the true advantage of this aircraft. Even with its limited climb rate the aircraft's dive-speed is excellent, but manoeuvrability is average at best. The plane may not climb very well but does retain the traits of an energy fighter. The main difference comes from the limited Allison power plant and its formidable armament of 4 x 20 mm Hispano Mk.II cannons.

The P-51 Mustang retains a lot of the traits that may be found in its later variants.
