The combat range of the P-51 was 750 miles. Still not enough in my option. But it does reach the 1,500 miles in a stretch. I forgot the Mustang slipped through on that. However, we intentionally gave it "Hi-Level Escort" to nerf it. Tempest would further "pull back" the requirement for Excellent Endurance and I don't think that power creep is a good idea. Land fighters are supposed to have the every other turn handicap. Frankly, the game just breaks with late war land fighters if we don't tone them down. Despite being a naval game at heart most WWII fans seem to have a hard time holding back on their "enthusiasm" for their favorite aircraft.
I was going to suggest this as a sneaky add on (im reviwing all card if youre wondering)
Special Interceptor: This aircraft rolls +1 attack die against aircraft with the suicide attacker ability. -the Kamikaze zero as close a thing to a V1 as we'd have.

Originating with specification F10/41. A protracted development process resulted in fearsome low level attack aircraft and interceptor. With an emphasis on speed and toughness over agility. Ranging out over the chanbel to raid european coastline or intercept exotic germany weapons like me262 jets and V1 missiles. The design was further refined over the subsequent years, to be the basis for the legendary Sea Fury fighter.
