they're all debatable


You're comparing the famous apples and oranges.  None of the ships you call "debatable" saw anywhere nearly as little combat use (which is none) as a carrier-equipped Me-109.  Only the Ta-152 comes even close - and I would, in fact, argue against its inclusion if it were not already in.

There are four different models of P-47 because it was the most produced American fighter, with about fifteen thousand made.  I think that puts it in fourth place for total fighter production in history, after the Me-109, Spitfire, and FW-190.

I think there were more Yaks than P-47s.  Maybe more Yaks than Spitfires even.

Yaks? 30.000 out of memory. The Il-2 and the La series also had enormous production numbers.
Spitfire 20.000, Hurricane some 13.000, 109 some 35.000 with the post war models (avia and hispano).
The USSR sheer numbers are funny, for AFAIK in only one year is the air more draining on the LW on the eastern front than the western/southern one, - 1943. LOL, now I'll have to find that source again...
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

The Yak-9T is in the game because Hammerguns are sexy.
