Snappy Snappy P-51 Wings

I love flying the P-51 but it took me a good while to learn when I could give the stick some wellie and when I had to nurse it like a baby bird. Well now it looks like other planes will also enjoy the happy snappy feelings the 'stang gives you. :)

oh Whalefish... good find :)

So prior to the target you need to be a little more careful with your aeroplane. Lets say pre target you pull + 6G, you have exceeded the In service limit, you will hear a damage sound cue and suffer a slight aerodynamic penalty. In addition your G limits have now reduced to say 4G/6G. (Bust these again and further aerodynamic penalties and further reductions will apply). You progress to the target and release your bombs. Since the weight is reduced your limits will increase but since you already bent the airframe you wont get back your original limits. You might then get say +6G/+9G. As you can see if you keep abusing the limits you will end with a very weakened airframe.

I admit to being sooo bad in a P51 as to not ever brake it.,.,just crash it. But I also have a good inclination to think that many aircraft were to un effected by heavy bomb loads, so that looks like it's duie for a change.
