I've flown axis for years and I've never bought into the allied bias thing, niether in the planes or the planesets. There is a difference between fair planesets and historical planesets. The CT is supposed to be historical and the planes should reflect that. If you are in a squad that is exclusively allied or axis then you have to be willing to accept that your planes will not always have a performance advantage over your opponent depending on the time frame of the map. That is why, as in WWII, tactics had to be developed to either take advantage of your planes strengths or it's weakness's. Obviously not all want that kind of restriction thus you have the MA.
WHOOP! THERE IT IS! 
The Bear Man has hit it right on the head. I have also put my time in with several Luftwabble squads, started other Axis squads to help out the CT when everyone was flying Allied and even put time on the CT STAFF. I couldn't have expressed it better myself.
WTFG! You is Da MAN Bear! While I have had differences with the CT Staff while being a member of it and from the outside I don't think you can fairly say it is an "Old Boys Club" or they are trying to set everything so one side will be have more of an advantage than the other. Most of the players on the CT STAFF gravitate to the position because they are into "Historical" flying and care about what happens to the CT. Most, you will find DO NOT like the style of flying in the MA. They spend alot of their
OWN TIME - WITHOUT PAY to see that everyone has a good time and gets a chance to fly their favorites as much as possible. They really don't deserve to, and shouldn't have to put up with the "BULLCHIT FACTOR" that is put out by many in this arena.
As for "Fairness" in some set-ups - sometimes it just isn't possible to make everyone happy due to the limitations of the set-up and the aircraft/vehicles/etc. of the time of the set-up. Some can be set-up to be pretty close. Others - Just like in the real battles of WW2 - someone is going to be blasted from the skies. More folks should give that a thought or move on to the MA if they can't live with it.
With that said..... Duke, the Navy vs. Army thing was a real TURKEY! Sorry, but it had to be said.
LOL! 
But, that is just my opinion. (I had the same thing happen when I did the South American Football War & the 1956 Israeli War) Still it shows the CT Staff is working to TRY and come up with new things and make it more interesting for all of us. For that and the time they put into the arena EVERY WEEK they should all receive our thanks or at least an acknowledgement for their services.
THANKS GUYS!
