Is the P-51D-10 worth it?

So once again Gaijin has released a “Special” vehicle most likely wont come back and i’m very curious if i should go for it?

It’s the one of the best P-51’s (premium) available in the game.

I’ve heard it’s very good. Basically a slightly less powerful D-30 at a lower BR

The problem isn’t the plane so much (although the rudder is terrible at high speed), it’s USA teams around that BR.

Your team will try to turn fight Yak-3s, Zeros, Ki-61s, Spitfires - all while getting BNZ’d by 109s.

6-8 mins in, 3/4 will be dead.

Have fun with that.

5

So is it worth $25 for it then?

6

Having flown both aircraft briefly (I mean very briefly) I would say yes it is. You get 2 pretty good aircraft for pretty cheap

7

You can always play sim instead where teams seem far more sensible.

I’d hold off on buying the P-51D-10 and wait for the anniversary sale to grab the P-51D-20 bundle. Unless you’re a collector, the D-10 isn’t worth it. Both planes are nearly identical, but the D-10 is placed in tougher battles due to its higher BR. Plus, the D-10 isn’t always available, and its standalone price of $25 for 5,000 Golden Eagles is steep compared to the often-discounted D-20 bundles.
