P51 is honestly OP as ****!!!

[RBMK_Reactor]

alright, i own one of these things, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! The P51 is so Op i can barely even comprehend. When i play it, everything in front of me is shredded, the turn is decent, nothing can cath me, and i can helicopter climb.

Honestly Gaijin, this plane is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ OP, that the moment people see a P51 they hold J...

[RedUp]

:O My face while im reading this. (Which one are you talking about, the first P51?)

[RBMK_Reactor]

yeah
the one with 4 20mm cannons in 3.7

[Siphonophore]

Just wait until you get the P-51Ds, you will regret making this

[RBMK_Reactor]

im talking about the first P51, its the OP one, with the death cannons. Honestly i dont know why the devs would put such a powerful armament in such a low teir, they should switch the P51's in the game

[MoonPrune]

They haven't felt OP to fight.. but then again I'm flying HS-129's a lot right now and P-51's keep going head on *facepalms* so many people die because of that mistake...

overpowered? Do you even have a P-51? Just look at the beaufighter. It has got 4x20mm aswell. Hurricane mk IV 2x40mm. Why shall a P-51 be OP?

[Admiral Obvious]

Depends on which mode you are talking about.

In AB I can agree. Firepower is all that matters.

In RB, hell no. That engine simply doesn't support climbing over 3000 meters, and the energy retention is pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ too.

Even the P-51D is strong.

Try the Spitfire Mk Vc. Turns better, has same guns.

[Jigoku]

Yeh, everytime i see a P-51 climbing i will dive low because of that. Way too OP for battle rating and it's why you will see (in arcade) a stack of P-51's at the top of the enemy leaderboard with many kills within a minute into the match. It's predictable and boring.

Thats the Problem with most american Aircraft the are OP as hell at their BR but due to the glorious pilots of them the get those BR´s. Yes i´ve flown the P-51 with cannons and the 51D is also horribly undertiered. I admit having a overheating engine bug whatever you want to call it fair enough but having the D-30 at 4,7 is horribly undertiered 5,3 maybe even 5,7 would fit good. The other one from the Thunder league is pure P2W BR 3.0 totally fair and not sealclubbing. But well before i get my adrenaline rising due to the poor balancing of GJ i just stop there.

I dont agree about fire power unless its on a nimble plan , I like agility and a plane that can bring the crosshair to target smoothly and quickly , many heavy fighters have heaps of cannons and you can shred them in low tier because they are floating like a barge unable to turn on much at all , heavy guns is great but its not all about them in low tier AB I do much better with speed planes and machine guns with loads of ammo .

Best example are the Do 335 excellent gun : turn like a sunderland with the speed of a diving biplan, the acceleration of a stock P80A and the energy retention of a brick until you hit the stratosphere were you can reach your max speed

It's hardly alone in clubbing potential.

At the same BR

German: 190A-1, and 109F-4s
Britian: Spitfire Vb, Firefly Mk 1, Premium Typhoon 1b and Mustang(same as the american one.)
Russia: Yak9T, Premium P-39,63.
Japan:A7M2? (idk japan doesnt really club at any BR.)

Bear in mind if you continually do well in it, you will get uptiered more often.
