If we go by real-world specification to determine the plane's in-game stat, then P-51 would have less range than A6M Mod. 21. The former have ferry range of about 2700 km with drop tank, while the latter, 3100 km. Though, note that actual combat radius will be less than half of those numbers. If implemented, the American would probably get a range rate of 6. The other fighter in the game that gets range rate of 7 is a named variant of Ki-43 - which has a ferry range of 3200 km.

Real world P-38 has respectable ferry range of 3600 km, so it might get a range rate of 7 or more.

It may be a long while until foreign land-based aircrafts are implemented, I think. There are still IJAAF planes with respectable performance that has not been implemented, like Ki-84 and Ki-100, which are comparable to Mustang.
