Meh not really. Its flight performance is objectively worse than the C-10, literally the ONLY advantage the D-5 has is 2 more .50cals and greatly expanded CAS options.
Did I say the F6F at 3.3 should be moved down?
Two things upfront:
- You replied to a player which has stopped playing 10 months ago. You won’t get a response.
- I fought with and against @dot (excellent pilot) and imho most of his statements were quite reasonable. I do not share his 5.7 opinion about the F8F-1, actually the 4.7 is fine as i see them dying like flies at 4.7.
Have in mind that experienced pilots which are able to use an aircraft to its full strengths (whilst playing around weaknesses) might come to deviating conclusions to BR settings (as gaijin uses average results to determine BRs) and most of the BR discussions deal with the situation when very good pilots fly them.
This is either a fact free opinion…or you don’t refer to Air RB BRs.
Using an objectively undertiered P-51 C-10 as argument to reduce BRs of D models is not comprehensible.
We have D-5 (4.0), D-10 (4.3), D-20 (4.0) and D-30/P-51 K (5.0).
D-10 performs similar to the the D-30 - even gaijin realized this, that’s why they left it a 4.3. 4.0s for D-5 and D-20 are ok if you take the average pilot skill into consideration.
P-51 C-10:
-
Clearly a 4.3 to 4.7 aircraft. Unfortunately US mains are unable to make them work, so they dragged the BR down to 3.7 due to poor results.
-
Gaijin reacted and downranked the plane to Rank II - so that clubbers don’t use it anymore.
-
The main issue is that all of the premium/event versions of the C-10 share the same BR, but kept Rank III. As they are there flown by (mostly) far better pilots those guys benefit the most from the way too low BR of 3.7.
Have a good one!

D-5 is slightly heavier (due to extra 2 guns) and more drag (due to bubble cockpit) than the C-10. If I had to guess, it’s only at a higher BR since more experience players play it.
The issue isn’t just U.S mains. The issue is Germany and Russia mains also being crap, and thus planes like Yak-3 get undertiered, and can curbstomp P-51C-10 along with other planes at that BR making them look worse than they are. Although, just saying “hurr durr America mains bad” is an extremely convinient way to try and discredit the opinion of any1 you disagree with, so there’s no doubt in my mind that you’ll keep spamming in on the forums.
I have no clue why you react this way - i was polite, friendly and stated facts.
-
Poor results of US players on average has nothing to do with that they would be less smart or intelligent; it is simply the fact that the US TT is extremely popular and has therefore subsequently a very high number of rookies which produce therefor subsequently poor results.
-
It is also not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing - you can’t beat statistical facts and experience based on 19k Air RB prop battles. Regarding discrediting opinions i would not like: You might consider to take a step back.
-
“Spamming” of handholding of US & USSR prop pilots by gaijin - i am not sure that your wording is adequate; especially if every experienced player has similar views - at least if he has a positive service record.
Your whole view on things is obviously way to biased towards US aircraft. Even as a lot of USSR props are severely undertiered too - the US tech tree excels with undertiered props by a substantial margin.
If you are able to name a single undertiered German prop fighter i would be happy if you could enlighten me - otherwise i see no sense to continue with this exchange. The He 100 D-1 does not count…

Very old thing with this plane…
Legend has it - a super plane that won the war, a unique fighter
Reality - a great companion machine for high-altitude bombers that needs some height and a good pilot to make it unique
The game - the usual American pain - fly low to the ground ( only fools get on and unnecessarily prolong the game … ), the Mustang turns into an immovable brick that everyone gets …
So - board, use the view, exchange height for speed, i.e. ideally Boom and Run, don’t get involved in maneuver battles low to the ground in horizontal flight…
polite is a massive stretch and “stated facts” is just a blatant lie.
And you still try to use it in a degrading way.
“statistical facts”, back to back with, “experience based”. lol
That’s a sad misunderstanding of per capita. America has far more planes than USSR, and thus by proxy has more “undertiered” planes.
A far larger portion of USSR planes are undertiered, and not only that, are many steps lower than they should be.
He-112, Ju 288, Fw 190, Bf 109. Hs 129 is also abit questionable for GRB, especially when its full APHE belt has addtional 0 SP cost.
Do you really expect that somebody will reply to your nonsense claims if you can’t discuss like an adult? Being rude by insulting others (“blatant lie”) or trying to look smarter than you actually are guarantees a rather unpleasant feedback.
A quick look at your vehicle stats showed that you might be a good tanker (idk & idc) but as an Air RB pilot you are part of the problem called “US mains produce poor results in Air RB” as you somehow managed to have negative K/Ds vs aircraft across all your US planes, with very few exceptions.
That’s the reason why you sound like a blind man talking about colours. Not worth my time to reply in detail to your nonsense.
