3/7/2023 0 Comments P 51 mustang tank buster![]() Quadruple Hispanos are devastating: pressing the trigger will significantly slow down the P-51. 4 x 20 mm Hispano Mk.II cannons, wing-mounted (125 rpg = 500 total).Thus all engagements, may they be Boom & Zoom or Boom & Run style, should be performed below said altitudes. High altitude performance suffers which in combat, due the slow climb rate, is rarely reached anyway. However this is for an altitude range up to 4,000 m (13,000 ft). Managing both disadvantage is the Ace's true skill for this elite Boom and Run fighter. For another downside is the sluggish acceleration which further causes a low rate of climb. Overall the P-51 likes to bleed speed in manoeuvres and the lost energy cannot be easily regained. Fortunately the combat flaps have a very high speed tolerance and greatly benefit it in dogfights. The control surfaces lock up at high speeds which makes the Mustang a comparatively agile fighter when initiating combat, but this is quickly lost. Manoeuvrability is nothing to write home about (except roll-rate), especially without speed to burn. On the upside, the good maximum velocity greatly benefits the energy retention coming out of dives and for staying out of trouble. This initial iteration boasts a significant speed advantage over many Rank III aircraft, but sacrifices are obvious. "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. It was introduced in Update 1.49 "Weapons of Victory". With a battle rating of 4.0 (AB/SB) and 3.3 (RB). The P-51 Mustang is a rank II American fighter
