Let me put five pilots together in Spit 9s.  You can pick any non-jet plane for your five.  We'll see what happens.

Ok, Yak9Us. 5 kills for yaks, 0 kills for spits.

depends on the pilots.

in every plane vs plane fight.
it all comes down to the pilots.

every plane has it pluses and minuses.
which is better, comparing plane to plane performance?
it doesn't matter really.
the pilot's knowledge of the plane, he is flying and the enemy's plane. and knowing what to do to win, is what counts.

couple of examples;
Shane knows the La7. no matter what plane he goes up against, he has a very good chance of winning.
Levi, he knows the spit5. no matter what plane he goes up against, he has very good chance of winning.
if they went up against each other, it'll probably be a draw.

the more you know, about ACMs and how to use it in the plane you fly, what your plane can and can't do. the better your chances are of winning.

I'd say it all depends on situation; speed, alt and position.
If the A-5 menages to get behind the spit, i's toast. Same way the other way around.
