Yah. Given the historical association, this is similar to making an Aerofighter specialized in ground attack and bombs and calling it Mustang.

Actually, before the P51 was given the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine (and, IIRC, a supercharger…or was it a turbocharger?), it did not perform well at altitude, and the RAF used it rather successfully as a ground-attack fighter-bomber.
It was only after they tested it with the different engine that it became the famous long-range bomber escort and air superiority fighter that could make it to Berlin and back.

I actually did know that. One of my favorite facts, and why I had hope for the F-35 today. Amazing the number of pieces of prototypes in WW2 that because of pressure from the war the government never gave up on that became real bawlers. P-51, P-38, P-40, FW-190, B-29, etc.
