I'm not talking about a hermetically sealed duel, Oldman. Anyone who flew the recent Coral Sea scenario knows that my assesment is accurate.
Well...over the years I've garnered a fair amount of time flying A6M2s against F4Fs and vice versa, singly and in crowds. Given equal numbers - or really, even greater numbers for the Allies - and equal pilots, seems to me the Zekes win just about every time. Wildcats have to fly together or they die. The Zeke pilots often forget to fly together, and end up being alone against greater numbers.
