This is BY FAR the BEST fucking guide I've seen about the P-51. Extremely well explained, very well ilustrated with side bottom window, no filler content and the opponents are not braindead. This is what a well done and high value guide looks like. Pure skill explained and outperforming decent and different players (german, soviet, japanese and british). Congratulations mate, you just got a new suscriber!
you can dogfight but you need a massive speed advantage and your time to dogfight is very limited, especially if the opponent knows what they're doing. this kind of stuff might work in arb where a lot of people don't really know how to fly, much less dogfight at this br. but in sim, in a 1v1 against a decent opponent, you're going to lose if you go for an extended fight. even in arb, if someone has you isolated and you try to dogfight them and they're not new, you'll probably lose.
@ It mostly depends on who & what you’re up against. Dogfighting a Fw-190 is not the same thing as a Yak-3. Most Mustang models are able to get into a turn fight against most Bf-109’s, that is if the Mustang has a speed advantage of course. However we should never expect a mustang to win a turn fight against the Zero.
Brother - I just sat for 22min with my mouth agape. This should be required viewing for anyone that unlocks the P-51D. I literally suck at them and after playing pretty much 2 straight years of Air RB (and am a pretty decent pilot - I thought) this has been one of the most informative videos I've ever seen. I saw so many mistakes I've been making with the P-51Ds. Wow. Mind blown.

Wow I clicked on this expecting to click off after like 10 seconds because there was no narration, but the gameplay kept me watching. Very well flown! I think the hardest skill for a player to master is judging the opponents' energy state - I know for sure I'm not the best at it. And because I exclusively fly US and German fighters it means I'm dead if I get it wrong and engage.
This video is much more than just a P-51 dogfighting guide, there is plenty of tips that i wish i was told earlier instead of having to struggle to find them out by myself... Thank you man !
Nostalgia kicking in, in the beginning there were close 1 on 1 dogfights spread all across the maps in almost every match. Now everyone just wants RP so we get clustermatings in the middle of the map.
14:51 this is very true, i tried to add some info here, when u are in the P-51 your first and 2nd turn will decide the outcome, if you managed to do good at it, the rest just about cleaning up
It's the best WT guide I've ever seen! Lots of advanced, very useful info, good examples and music. (but sometimes you shoot too long bursts, even after the enemy already passed your reticle)
This guide is amazing, thank you for making it! It's so rich with information, you've put in so many details but all without making the pace of the video too slow. It makes me want to jump right into the game again! And also I like your choice of music :)
Stoked to see you active again, been a long time subscriber, so glad to see you making content at a pace that suits you and enables high quality! You're probably the only WT CC who uses the tacview for what it's meant for. As for this video, 10/10, I've been struggling with the P-51 in WT.
this looks so fun, it makes me wanna fly the P-51 again (although i know i'm still gonna die most of the time lol). i actually never knew you came back a few months ago, i only saw this video now from someone who sent it into a server, but it's great to see you're still doing well
3:10 Albeit, the tracer belt carries more API-T to allow penetration of components. omni-purpose incendiary (m23) actually offers significant damage with a single shot to the wing whilst API-T cleanly flies through the wing for minimal damage. If Gaijin gave the P-51 an "air-targets" belt that was mostly the stealth belt with API replaced with API-T. It would be very powerful.
Amazing, i love the P51s (C10/N-11 being my faves). Yet US teams are so hard to tame, theyre so fucking inept. Atleast the other benchmark fighters like the 109's, Yaks and spits are by far easier to use.
I also have a trick with the extra buttons in my mouse, a quick keybind and i change my control mode to something like a joystick, helps a bit with BIG chandeliers or high speed turns. Though may take getting used to and its probably a gimmick.
its mostly that US teams consiats of way too much cas that just zombie grinds to be able to stomp in ground battles. I hate having to play with US teams cause I will be one of like 3 fighters that actually climbs.
so key points: - only bother shooting from decent range - it's okay to spray and pray - chip damage goes a long way - tap elevator to reverse in a long range chase - skidding head-ons - take the first one-circle if enemy lower alt (and isn't zoom climbing) also i find it hard to do rudder rolls with the default so I swapped Q and E so it becomes Q+D and A+E
Your name is very familiar. We definitely met each other back when I used to play. I just randomly stumbled upon this video and had a lot of fun watching it. Good to see my favorite plane in good hands :) It was so satisfying watching you play this plane correctly and knowing It's strengths and weaknesses and the part with D-30 vs Late-War German team filled me so much nostalgia when I used to carry my entire team in D-30 against Germany alone or with a wingman. (Leon_SVK) in WT Oh and just a small tip. Supercharger for the P-51 switches at around 3.5km. So the engine performance suffers the most at around 2.5k to around 4.5k with peak engine performance at 1.5 or 1.8km and then at 5.8km I believe. Numbers differ by a few hundred depending on the map.
It's been forever but I think I recognize your username! I've been playing this game for over 11 years at this point. Nostalgia dude! My Discord name is TakaLeon if you ever wanna chat :)

“Fly straight and Boom and Zoom. Never use it in a dogfight.” says everyone who doesn’t know how to use the P-51 Mustang properly. Beautiful video!

Thank you man !
One of the most comprehensive ACM tutorials for WT at the moment, feels like a bygone era of flying, great stuff.
Nostalgia kicking in, in the beginning there were close 1 on 1 dogfights spread all across the maps in almost every match.
Now everyone just wants RP so we get clustermatings in the middle of the map.
There is so many easter eggs of information in this video - music is nice too!
(:
Omg its Green Fury
Oh man, why did you stop posting videos? When are you coming back? I learned a lot from your tutorials, bro. Take care, o7
I think it's the best video on P51s I've ever seen, thank you man!
14:51 this is very true, i tried to add some info here, when u are in the P-51 your first and 2nd turn will decide the outcome, if you managed to do good at it, the rest just about cleaning up
Hell yeah! this is the type of stuff i used to binge watch while learning to play air RB, good stuff!
Very informative video, I need more of these dogfight tutorials that provide actual steps instead of giving vague statements
this is an amazing video basically a clinic on everything u need on how to fly the p51 right im def coming back to this video and taking notes fr
This was so much fun to watch, and very educational as well. I really hope to see more videos like this soon!
Yes, I'm gonna watch the P38 video next.
love flying against guys like you. the games increasing popularity hjas made air rb too easy
You deserve a looot more views!
You play in dogfigh with mustak is like a demon! I found new tech to properly familiar with this plane for me

Been a while i saw a good how to video likes this. Subbed.

Bf109 or fw 190(ta 152s) video next pleasee. These videos are so informative and good , hoping to see more
I also like the Heimlich maneuver very much! 😁 Seriously, I'm studying your video in detail. It's like a lexicon! Thanks for this content. 👍👍👍
But my only question is: why don't u play the sim battles with stick control etc? I mean u have so much knowledge about planes maneuvers.
@@nawowas8818 Too lazy to learn stick
Most Wanted Pursuit Music is pretty fitting
astouding, actually makes me want to try p51 again
You always have such good music choice.
ty this is a very good video for warthunder beginner
i needed this video, i like the p-51s, but i am dying so much. thank you.
I loved dogfighters serie so much!
Its funny to me when people say the 51 is ass but you just gotta use it right just as with any other plane
Imma prob forget everything the moment I hit to battle but wonderful guide,and great choice of music!
Jeez. I had my head blown couple of times in this video and i'm relatively old player.
Awesome video! It would be great, if you can make a video showing your settings.

loved watching this video, interesting fights
this reminds me of the old green fury and adam the enginerd videos. i really like it. makes it easier to teach my friends dogfighting
very nice video 51/10
so key points:
- only bother shooting from decent range
- it's okay to spray and pray
- chip damage goes a long way
- tap elevator to reverse in a long range chase
- skidding head-ons
- take the first one-circle if enemy lower alt (and isn't zoom climbing)
also i find it hard to do rudder rolls with the default so I swapped Q and E so it becomes Q+D and A+E
nice one taka, thanks :)
Low tier air rb is actually skill required but in tanks and top tier air you get shot by someone who clicks on you
lmao this guy dogfights in the p51 so much better than me impressive asf :0
hey bro u should try ground targets. imo they output abit more damage than the tracer belts because there are m2 aps in there
Amazing skins on your P-51s! Are these user skins?
Yep! You can find them on live.warthunder with the following link: live.warthunder.com/feed/all/?q=%23p51
Is it possible to do all this in the p51D-20 or the J26?
Not really - they simply lack the horsepower to do maneuvering like this unfortunately
@@-juno-takaleon3830 Unfortunate 🥲

What’s the best gun targeting distance for the p 51?
I use 400m with Vertical Targeting on. I would say 400~500m is the sweet spot IMO
Low alt mustang that gets kills is def new
How about against spitfires?
you cant. spifires are much more maneuvreable
@vinnygee173use your Speed and High Speed 1st turn,if you miss get distance and retry
@@fqeagles21 bro not even p51s first speed will outturn a spitfire? why would you even turnfight a spitfire???
@ i never said to turn fight, I said do one quick turn at speed,if you Miss GAIN DISTANCE and after a while recommit
@@fqeagles21 thats the single worst idea ive ever heard?
New 50.cal noise is so shit it sounds like parchment paper
