I thought it wasn't about the plane but it was the pilot.

It is and increasingly more so as plane performances become close to equal.  When you talk about planes with such performance disparities however, it becomes more about the plane.  Unless the pahlot is particularly ubah.

That is what AKAK just said. The spit/zeke pilot was beat by a better pilot. The better pilot had the lesser plane.

A great plane is or will be just a pile of junk in the lesser pilots hands. A fast/quick horse can't get it's stride if the jokey is pullin' the reins.

Does not mean the lesser pilot won't win sometimes. Just makes it less likely.

Ive never run into either of these fellas before but another guy worth honorable mention (at least in my opinon) is dastardly. He sure can whip the 110 around as well.

I'm sure Krupinski is an 'experten' stick but if a 'known Zeke driver' gets himself killed in a 1v1 turn fight with a Bf110 then the Zeke driver might have been 'known' but wasn't good.  In short, if it was a turn fight, Krupinksi's victory had more to do with the fact the other guy had no clue on how to fight.

AKAK just nailed it on the head, thanks. +1  :cheers:

I've fought DrBone several times, always fun! Though I've never seen him in a 110..  :noid

Both pilots of equal skill in a dueling situation, the Spitfire Mk IX would dominate the fight.

That's not very nice Ack-Ack....lol...not very nice at all...and quite probably not necessarily true either.

Changeup

Im sorry Changeup, but Ack-Ack's right...you put someone like Bruv or Sakata in a Zeke, I'd like to see a 110 outfly either of them...and Im sure there are better Zeke drivers out there than those 2, but not many.

Krups an outstanding stick in anything but from an even start with a hard ceiling and not a lot off vertical the only way the zeke loses is to a FQ shot early on...

I think the flip side is that your in a very select group of pilots who are exceptional in just about anything you fly and recognized as such. So when a guy who can play Mozart meet's a dude with a harmonica its tough sledding regardless. So if the zeke driver isn't fundamentally sound his relative level of suckage doesn't matter. Once he meets that minimum skill level (which is actually pretty high) then the equation swings to an almost unwinnable match up for you beyond an aggressive play for an early ending...
