Yes, but what good is test performed by an idiot who has no idea what he's doing?
Its only real deficiency down low is a slow rate of roll compared to the D9. Keep it fast and fight in the vertical, you can make total fools of most any fighter. Get a stick who knows how to fight smart (I know, this is beyond you, but trust me, it can be done) and hold his E you can control the fight against anything at nearly any altitude. And its firepower can make even a quick snapshot lethal, 2 20mm and a 30mm all mounted very close together packs one hell of a wallop.
I forget who it was now, but I had a fight a few months back with my wingie and I in 38's and one of the vets in a 152. he held us off and held his E for nearly 15 minutes by the time he and my wingman accidentally collided on a yo-yo.
I get a few every tour (gotten 3 so far this tour), but only if I can catch them from above or sucker them into a turning fight. Dropped down on 2 who were trying to vulch and probably never saw me, and got the third my forcing him to turn fight me at 12,000 feet. 2 have gotten me according to my stats, but I don't have them on film, so I have to assume they were guys who caught me in another fight, since I don't remember being killed in a fight with any.
