Starfighters and their modern day counterparts

Mon Cal ships are hard to judge. They have so many variants ranging from just under an ISD to just over an ISD. Also if an ISD is a Battleship, then what is the SSD?

P51A was the underpowered version AFAIK. The P-51 is very fast and
has an excellent range. But many other WW2 fighters will outmanuver it.
It should be flown and a BnZ plane and not as a TnB fighter.

Just a comment...

I find the TIE Fighter to most likely resemble the MiG-19 rather than the MiG-21, as both are designed with maneouvrability in mind above everything else. (The MiG-21 was also designed with maneovrability (SP??) in mind above everything else, but not as much as its predecessor)
