Basco1 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This is not a whine or a moan,I'm purely just interested,but,why have we got a P-51H modelled in DCS and not a P-51D ?.....as it's obviously masquerading as ? For those not in the know,the P-51H has the two aerial masts on the back,the P-51D has only the one :) Chillblast Fusion Cirrus 2 FS Pc/Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake CPU/Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 1070 G1 8GB/Seagate 2TB FireCuda SSHD/16GB DDR4 2133MHz Memory/Asus STRIX Z270F Gaming Motherboard/Corsair Hydro Series H80i GT Liquid Cooler/TM Warthog with MFG 10cm Extension/WINWING Orion Rudder Pedals (With Damper Edition)/TrackiR5/Windows 11 Home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlidfan Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) The H model was a completely redesigned aircraft. The differences between the D and the H are numerous but I can't find a single pic showing two masts on the H model. Though I can find verbiage to indicate that the H had two.

Solty Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 We have P-51D-30 from 1945 Pacific theater with radar and better radio and beacon equipment. Not P-51H.

Basco1 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 We have P-51D-30 from 1945 Pacific theater with radar and better radio and beacon equipment. Not P-51H. Thanks for clearing that one up Solty,I knew what we had wasn't the regular European Theatre model in game and just googled P-51 models and the ones that came up with the two aerials were named as P-51 H's. However your explanation is far more precise,and after googling that model,I can see that it is the one we have,thanks very much buddy :thumbup: Chillblast Fusion Cirrus 2 FS Pc/Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake CPU/Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 1070 G1 8GB/Seagate 2TB FireCuda SSHD/16GB DDR4 2133MHz Memory/Asus STRIX Z270F Gaming Motherboard/Corsair Hydro Series H80i GT Liquid Cooler/TM Warthog with MFG 10cm Extension/WINWING Orion Rudder Pedals (With Damper Edition)/TrackiR5/Windows 11 Home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Duster Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 ha! if we had a p-51h there would be total and complete air dominancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streakeagle Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 As much as I love the classic lines of the P-51D, my eyes ultimately have gotten used to and even prefer the longer/leaner lines of the P-51H that not only looks more streamlined, but enhances the performance and combat ability of the Mustang in multiple ways: Power-to-weight, drag, ability to see/use gunsight over the nose, and much improved lateral stability for flying and gunnery. It is a shame they never saw combat in WW2. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzU Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I like the H version too. It's like comparing a Ford Model A to the 32. The 32 looks much better. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
