We will know exactly which plane won on Monday. While I have confidence in the P39, there are quite a few gound pounders in this game. Just enough to rain on my parade...

There is a well documented (including here on this BBS a few dozen times) test flights of a captured 190A series flown by the RAF in mock combat versus a SpitV in which both pilots determined that the 190 COULD turn with a SpitV. IIRC, it out turned it at high speed and was roughly equal right down to stall speed where the light wingloading of the Spit really shined.

I don't recall that, at all. I don't think anybody's said a 190 could turn with a spitfire all the way down to stall speed before!

That's getting off-track, though. It was an example.

The 190 is famous for blowing E in a high G turn, which means it can indeed turn inside a spit at high speeds. The Spit on the other hand is famous for it's E retension and can be a liability in some instances. This is why throttle control is important for flying a Spit well.

You counted my vote. In acutuality, there are 5-6 others in my group who voted the same, and a number of other folks in a couple other squads I know for a fact who voted the same....who also dont post here.

See what I mean?

There are also people that vote for the P39 that do not post on the Forums, which is why it makes it a decent sample.

This small sample is probably just a defective sample of BBS readers/posters. We cannot know how different the non-BBS-people's general opinions are.

I bet there are more "I don't care, but lets vote for B-25, at least I have heard that name" -people in the non-BBS voters.
