This page is about the aircraft P-51H-5-NA. For other uses, see P-51 (Family). |
Description
The P-51H-5-NA is a Rank IV American fighter
with a battle rating of 6.0 (AB), 6.3 (RB), and 6.7 (SB). It was introduced into the game in Update 1.71 "New E.R.A."
The P-51H-5NA is the last propeller plane in the USAAF fighter line. While retaining all features the earlier versions may offer, its powerplant is upgraded.

Survivability and armour
- 38 mm Bulletproof glass in front of the pilot.
- 19.05 mm Steel plate in front of the engine.
- 6.35 mm Steel plate between the engine and pilot.
- 15.87 mm Steel plate behind the pilot.
Armaments
Offensive armament
The P-51H-5-NA is armed with:
- 6 x 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine guns, wing-mounted (390 rpg inner + 260 rpg outer x2 = 1,820 total)
Suspended armament
The P-51H-5-NA can be outfitted with the following ordinances:
- 6 x 127 mm HVAR rockets
- 6 x 114 mm M8 rockets
- 2 x 100 lb AN-M30A1 bombs (200 lb total)
- 2 x 250 lb AN-M57 bombs (500 lb total)
- 2 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs (1,000 lb total)
- 2 x 1000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs (2,000 lb total)
- 6 x 127 mm HVAR rockets + 2 x 100 lb AN-M30A1 bombs (200 lb total)
- 6 x 127 mm HVAR rockets + 2 x 250 lb AN-M57 bombs (500 lb total)
- 6 x 127 mm HVAR rockets + 2 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs (1,000 lb total)
Usage in battles
The P-51H-5NA is a high altitude turnfighter. It has impressive performance against most props it may face and it can put a considerable fight against earlier jets. Compared to its German and British counterparts, it outperforms them by a fair amount in engine performance. The P-51H-5NA can also be used as a strike fighter, as it can have great loadouts of combinations of bombs and rockets for this purpose.
Whilst having great engine performance, The P-51H-5NA can turn impressively as well, outmanoeuvring most of its German counterparts. It has good ordnance, capable of shooting any aircraft down with relative ease, as well as being able to dodge incoming attacks by jets. It has a good climb rate which also gives it an option to put up a fight against jet encounters, being able to perform boom and zoom attacks as its energy retention is good. It has a tendency to break its wings while zoom climbing at speeds higher than 550km/h. It also uses high octane fuel, which means it has considerable susceptibility to fire.
At low altitude, fighting with a turnfighter mindset will mostly work. If jets are present, try not to drop your speeds too much, as you may need to dodge multiple shots. The P-51H-5NA will not perform as good against jets, as it does not have comparable speeds. BnZ attacks are the most effective against jets, as this manoeuvre mostly removes the speed out of the equation.
Most enemies faced by the P-51H-5NA will be easily taken down, but unfortunately it also faces jets from time to time. Me 262 and Ho 229 are the biggest predators of this plane. The Ho 229 will outturn you while the Me 262 will outrun you.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Great top speed for a prop-driven aircraft
- Respectable armament of 6 x 12.7mm (.50 caliber) machine guns
- One of the most manoeuvrable P-51s in the game
- Good climb rate
- Good payload options
Cons:
- .50 caliber machine guns aren't nearly as powerful compared to cannons, but will still do the job
- High crew training and purchase cost - the same as the F-80A-5 Shooting Star
- Can be up-tiered to fight against early jets
- Limited WEP, once it runs out the planes performance drops dramatically
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main
template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>
, as well as adding them at the end of the article. This section may also include the vehicle's devblog entry (if applicable) and the ingame encyclopedia description (under === Encyclopedia Info ===
, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the aircraft;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
