Well, while the P-51 hardly won the war, and I'm not really that big a fan of it (The P-39 and P-63, those were awesome!), it worked very well in its intended role as a long range escort fighter.
In IL-2 all planes fly like Russian planes. They have this little lag before they stall, and a tail slide is physically impossible. We're just learning the aerodynamic and flight modeling system. Our biggest leap yet is the fire and forget missile system and having broken the sound barrier.
