18 Big Enemy Wingspans for P-51 Dogfight

I made here a JPEG with a list of 18 Big Enemy Wingspans for P-51 in Foot and Meter scale for all those who in the heat of a dogfight need a quick info on the target.

They are pretty awesome birds...but who is dogfighting a C-17?

Did I miss the list of aircraft wingspans you might actually fight in a P-51? :D That would be nice.

That's why I named it Big Wingspans.

May be in this case I ought to have rather called it slaughter for a Pigfight! ;)

The rule of thumb for fighters is between (P-51) 37 - 57 feet or 11,28 - 17,38 meters . The margin is so small there is no room for big fallacy, if set to a general scale of 45 feet / 13,7 meters for Dogfights as an acceptable quick alternative.

Nicely done. Something like this is great for PeterP's Kneeboard mod.

Fw 190D-9 wingspan = 34 ft

Bf 109F/G/K wingspan = 32.5 ft

Yeah, that's a good one - for Users who do not have a second monitor (like me :P)... But hasn't that been implemented by DCS; when I click "show pilot" he has already a Kneeboard, and that is without PeterP's Add-On.

I'm sure there is a lot more out there plus some "Area 51 UFOs", with even smaller Wingspans... My focus was only restricted on DCS available AIs ;)

Both aircraft listed by Gav are DCS AI. :doh:

For the third time; there is a Big word in the thread's title, as I made my researches on Big planes.

As to Small fighters; I usually double check things before coming out and about gavagai's Fw 190D-9 and Bf 109F/G/K, well I've checked for the third time in the DCS Encyclopedia but couldn't trace them. Maybe overseen, maybe they are cited under different name or maybe they are not yet added there. But Small is not my issue.

If you're so keen on it, I suggest you make your own research for your own Small Wingspans list... You just do the Voodoo you do!

And instead of hexing the empty part of the cup with sarcasm, try to fill the other half with serenity for a change :book:
