I think the point of this exercise is, and Flit you can correct me if I am wrong or not - is the style of play and how it is matched to the personality and the aircraft/mission type selected. I wouldn't say i'm the best furball guy around, not by a long shot - but then again I don't fly Spitfires or 109's much to have a valid discussion. My personality matched to the P-47, in this case was to fly in a way that I actually would in real life - with the professionalism and military precision one would expect while operating a machine of this type.
The same would be expected say if I were flying an AR234 in a behind the red line action, more reminiscent of a unarmed recon. Like many things in life, you get out of it what you put in. I have fun, but also try to apply the lessons learned by those who came before us to show the validity of their sacrefices.
