The problems that people seem to have forgotten when asking for a matchup! 1) The A-10 is a Jet so it automatically has a speed and vertical advantage despite not having a modern fighter Thrust to Weight Ratio 2) The A-10's mass advantage and 30mm Avenger cannon means that even if the P-51 gets a shot off on the Hog, The A-10 can tank it, The P-51 cannot do the same in return.

[@fubaralakbar6800]

If the A-10 got hit with a nuclear weapon and was vaporized, it would just transcend into a plane made of pure energy, and still kill you.

[@j012275]

When I read the thumb nail I thought for sure you were fighting against the A10 and wondered if you would even get a kill. I watched an A10 demolish an enemy position on a hill in Afghanistan after the Canadian battery had been firing on it. We took incoming and the Canadians went into action and I was standing behind a row off hesco barriers separating us from the battery and you could see the vapor trails and watch the impact on the hill. It was awesome. Then all the sudden the guns stopped and two A10s rolled in and the first took a run with some air to ground missiles. However the second one came in with the 30 and the explosive dust plume was a lot larger than the missiles. It was like the gun was exploding the hill side. Flipping awesome. That gun when fired is so distinct. I started my training at Ft. Leonard Wood Missouri and there was a practice ground close where the A10 would do runs and on FTX's you would here the MAH sound of that gun out in the distance. Those things are so Flippin cool.

Begging for a heart

[@VagabondTexan]

A few thoughts. 1) Though I know it's not modeled, I still expected to see a red coating on the inside of the P-51's plexiglass in that first fight. Brutal. 2) The TF34 is a really solid engine and well optimized for low level flight. It has a lot of get up and go below say 18,000 ft. Or at least it does if it behaves like the civilian CF 34. 3) I bet if the P-51 got on your six and peppered both of your engines with AP .50, you would find yourself in the safest best armored glider around.

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

Engines are still very vulnerable from the front and back, you can armor the nacelles all you want but you can't do anything about the inlet and exhaust. It'd likely only take a few rounds before the engines disassembled themselves.

[@Falkirion]

I was actually hoping you'd give Toxic your tail just to see how the A-10 held up to the punishment. Great flying regardless but I'd be curious to see what kind of damage 6 50s could do to the flying tank

[@rcslyman8929]

Not saying that the P51 would do much damage overall, but an engine's an engine, and control surfaces are moving parts. You put enough rounds into either, you're going to tear something off.

[@DIBgmail]

Any readable summaries of how the model works/has changed?

[@Ambaryerno]

The P-51 honestly is NOT nearly as maneuverable as pop culture has led people to think. The laminar flow wing was designed for speed and range, not maneuvering, and didn't generate as much lift as the wing on the Spitfire, or particularly the F4U (which matched the mustang in speed and acceleration). Now once Leatherneck releases their F4U-1D I'd love to see if it fairs better. The Corsair is much more maneuverable than the Mustang, with a significantly higher rate of roll, and a much better wing for maneuvering

Depends on the exact versions, the P-51 should have the advantage up to 25k ft as it's generally the better dogfighter, from there up the Merlin kinda runs out of breath, and the 47s turbo should maintain its power better and give it the advantage.

[@stinkyfungus]

I swear eagle dynamics REALLY needs to look at the damage models of warbirds vs Modern 20 and 30mm fighter cannons. Even condsidering you were shooting all AP - the mustang in that first fight should NOT have survived the first burst. Like at all. Its not the first time I've watched a DCS warbird tank a bunch of modern cannon shells and keep flying. On the other side of the coin (which you didn't experience, because you pretty much OWNED the mustang ) The 6 .50 M2 brownings do more damage to the A10 in DCS than one would realistically expect considering its design specs for damage.

[@BSWThunder6]

This actually makes a lot of sense to me. First of all the P-51 was the hot ship boom and zoomer for it's time. The A-10 took design cues from the A-1 Skyraider, you can really see it most in the wing profile. A-1 Skyraider was perfect for loiter and flying dump truck missions... but a Skyraider engaged a MiG-17 in 1966 over Vietnam and scored a gun kill. If a MiG-17 can lose to an A-1 Skyraider it's an easy connect for a P-51 outside it's envelope to lose to an A-10.

[@patrickdavis8271]

I can't believe the damage that P-51 is taking from the 30 mm and still flying. Damn! GS, switch aircraft and see how much 50 cal the A-10 can take before a single wing or engine decided to come off.

Loved the footage. I have never been a fighter pilot so please don't bag my comments too much. If the A10 ever gets into trouble it can use the vertical. If it gets hit by the 50 cal it has armour. The A10 also had GS.

I feel like atleast in situations like this where it's very one-sided it would be cool to get an extra round with you in the apparent underdog aircraft
