Jeeez......
This is the kind of stuff I wanted out of the Spixteen vs. F4U-1A thread.......Almost all I got was that physics/engineering debate...........Not that I didn't learn some things from that but....Not the same.
the difference is that the hog and pony each have advantages over each other in different areas of the performance envelope, these differences allow you to exploit the other aircrafts deficit in that particular area. otoh the XVI is just better in almost every respect than the hog so there is no deficit for the hog to exploit.
its why I try to avoid fighting the same aircraft too, for me a eg. typh vs 190 fight will always be more fun/interesting than a pony vs pony fight.
