Armaments
Offensive armament
The P-51K (China) is armed with:
- 6 x 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine guns, wing-mounted (270 rpg outer + 270 rpg mid + 400 rpg inner = 1,880 total)
Suspended armament
The P-51K (China) can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 6 x HVAR rockets
- 2 x 1,000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs (2,000 lb total)
- 6 x M8 rockets
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Outstanding Boom & Zoom capability
- Great performance at altitude
- Excellent .50 calibre machine guns with good damage and plenty of ammo
- Very fast at all altitudes
- Very agile at high speeds
- Good turn radius at high speeds
- Good all-round cockpit visibility in Simulator
- Has a gyro gunsight, guiding the player's aim in Simulator which is nice for boosting burst accuracy
- Decent over-the-nose visibility in Simulator
- Quite decent climb rate
- Useful close-support capability (ground attack) thanks to its bombs/rockets
Cons:
- Can't sustain much damage
- Catches fire easily
- Sluggish at low speeds
- High stall speed (166 km/h)
- Minimum fuel load is rather big
- Front canopy frames are somewhat obstructive in Simulator
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
See also
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.
External links
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- encyclopedia page on the aircraft;
- other literature.
