Upgrade to P-51B-10 Mustang

Post by JamesM »

Has anyone had an issue trying to upgrade to 8th AF FB groups to P-51B-10 Mustang? I am into late October 1943 and have over 250 available but I can not get 8th AF FB to upgrade to these planes either trying it manually (is not on the selection list) or automatically

There is a delay between when they become available and when you can start replacing at the front.

I think the manual said it was 4 weeks. I am over 7 weeks past the initial arrival date of the P-51B-10 Mustang.

There is a 3 months delay for US planes. In coming patch it is reduced to 1 month but for the 2-4 engine machines.

Thank you for that, I missed that when reading the manual. The question I have is why a three month delay, is this to simulate the transportation of the airframes, engine and the assembly?

Single-engined aircraft were ferried on ships to Britain or Africa. They either lacked range or the long flight over the ocean was consiered too risky with just one engine.
