That is defineately an Allied vs Axis thing, hmmm? All Allied aircraft do one thing and all Axis aircraft the other?
Well, that's the point of one person on this thread. However, not for me.
It could be simply a mistake, overlook, low correction priorities, or in the worst case, "nothing wrong". I'm willing to accept all of the possibilities or potential explanations.
However, if this turns out to be 'nothing wrong', then its something that disturbs our traditional looks and views on the aircombat between the P-47/P-51 vs 109s/190s.
IIRC, the traditional views was that at medium high speeds the 51 and the 47 easily matched 109s and 190s in maneuvering. At low speeds the 51s and 47s would have an edge in stability, but the 109s and 190s would have the edge in overall maneuverability.
In the end the outcome of an all-out stall fight would be a 109 would more or less easily outturn/outmaneuver a P-47, and would have to work hard to do the same to a P-51. A 190 would be deadlock with a P-47, and be disadvantaged against a P-51.
At least to the extent of my skills and experience of AH2, a 109 is at deadlocks with a P-47 and outmaneuvered hardily by the P-51.
The 190 is no match at all for both the P-47 and P-51, and any engagement that falls under 250mph and the P-47 or the P-51 would decisively outturn it within two circles.
It could be pilot factor - since I'm not a top shape pilot. But then again, not all the P-47 and P-51 pilots I meet are the topdogs of MA.
