Seriously why is that thing so low? What am I meant to do in my LA9 against that thing, even the worst player in the world can ass pull energy out the yin yang and completetly neutralize you in two turns. It’s already painful enough to fly props but this coin toss of “oh I hope I don’t have p51H’s in my match” is ruining late tier props.

Because the average P51H5NA pilot isn’t good enough to cause its rewards to be notably higher than other 6.3s.
Some have called this “skill issue”.

Please read my post again before making useless comments.
And on the off chance you think the LA9 is superior to the P51H5, I strongly recommend you check your room for signs of mold or a potential gas leak.

Why do you compare it to la9 though? Why not Yak-3U?
Now, im not an expert on USSR props outside of what I need to know to beat them, but if I somehow ended up in la9 vs p51h, I’d expect to have a good chance of beating it, by pulling it to low alt, and bleeding it of its energy in the vertical, and once he’s slow he’s done for

from what i remember fighting p-51h-5s they’re pretty tough but no more undertiered than the griffon spitfires or the ta-152s
chances are you can catch one recuperating from a dogfight or distracted by a teammate but you only get one shot and after that good luck keeping up with its climb rate
at the end of the day it all comes down to energy management and positioning but the la-9 does get some beefy cannons so if you can make the shot then you should be good
I never said it wasnt, in fact I love flying it. I also think it’s where it belongs, 6.0 is perfect for it.
Meanwhile, you haven’t flown it a single time, and you’re a below average player so I fail to see what your impressions are based on and why I or anyone with a modicum of skill should ever pay attention to your pathetic trolling.
Irrelevant, the P51H is so good that even the worst pilot can do well in it.
Cute.
That would be a terrible idea since the LA9 is heavy and has very poor vertical retention, in that scenario the P51H can just WEP up over your nose and stall you out effortlessly, and if it ever gets in trouble all it needs to do is straighten up and speed away. The only weaknesses the P51H seems to have from fighting it are terrible low speed roll and a capricious rudder, that’s it.
That strategy relies on luck or a decent team, but once again if a P51H decides it wants you dead, you’re going to die, period.

The La-9 can’t do anything against P51H5NA. La-9 lacks the sustained dogfight capability.
@SoupFella
TA-152s aren’t under-tiered at all. They’re worse than the Spitfires, and the Griffon Spitfires are worse than the P51H5NA.

I think worse drastically undersells just how large the gap is between them an the P51HNA

US mains when they try to low alt turn fight a zero in their p51 for the 1,000th time.

At altitude I believe they’re similar, but below 5500 - 6000 meters, P51 just has better engine heat management which allows it to inject methanol continuously for superior dogfight performance.
Afaik that’s still limited to 12 minutes before the engine starts to die but it’s still insane since most matches rarely last more than 15 min anyway.

Ah so la-9 is like a Dora, but instead of using the vertical, it plays in the horizontal, I see. Well, than you’re not supposed to be caught playing around your yaks who pull enemies into dogfighting
Ta152h worse than spitfires? She beats most of them in stall fights, mk24 she outturns with flaps (yep)
Ta152h also beats p51h and it’s not even close
(Yes, these clips are old. No, it didn’t change since then)

Same playerbase that brought us wonders such as 2.7 F4U-1A + P-39N and 4.7 F8F-1 with fixed rudder

I don’t have a problem in ki-84 against it
The P-51H is a great prop, no doubt. In many ways, it’s the ultimate expression of a U.S. prop - with one key difference from those that went before: it’s not just good at being fast, it’s good at getting fast.
That being said, it’s not magic… you might say it’s just the U.S. counter to the Yak-3U. If you’ve had to fight a 3U with a same BR or lower prop, you are already familiar with the experience of fighting a plane that pulls energy out of thin air (or really any sort of air), while also being pretty OK at turning. In fact, that’s the same experience you get flying against the La-7 and Yak-3.
I’d be happy to see some U.S. props get another look at their BR… and the same goes from some of the criminally under tiered Soviet stuff as well. That being said, U.S. and USSR pilots would need to stop feeding their planes to British and Japanese pilots like snacks to make that change happen.

According to your stats you’ve never flown the La-9.
(P.S. the La-9 is a terrible plane for it’s BR).
I looked at your most played plane (by far) the Spit24 - you have a negative KDR in it.
Most planes you’re struggling to break a 50% win rate.
So I’m not sure why you felt the need to comment on the La-9.

I use the mk24 only in GRB as a CAS and CAP option, all those ground kills are players.
winrate means nothing in aircraft.
doubt.
