So says the Brewstard fanboi. Anything said about the Brewster gets your hackles up. People whine about it and you say they have a biased opinion against the B-239. Yet you are so obviously pro-Brewster, how can your statements not be taken with a grain of salt? You're just afraid the Boomerang can hang with the Brew just long enough to pop a couple 20 mm shells in your little fidget. 
+1 for the Boomerang.
Caldera, a dose of common sense for you wouldn't go a miss.
Just like I said, I base my opinion on facts like the wing loading and speed. While they alone don't tell the whole story, I'm still quite sure that Brewster would both catch (albeit very very very slowly) and outurn the Boomerang based on the literature/documents about these planes. Brewster's top speed at sea level is 280mph while Boomerang's top speed at sea level is 277mph. So the speeds are close but it shows that Boomerang cannot get away from the Brewster, especially considering that Brewster has better power to weight ratio which should enable it to climb at a faster rate and therefore accelerate faster. Brewster's wing uses a quite a high lift airfoil for its time. I haven't checked the airfoil of the Boomerang, but I'll take a lucky guess that it is one from the NACA series and starts with the digits 23XX(X). The difference in wingloading is quite clear at over ~30kg/sqm. There really isn't much that can overcome these facts. Therefore, Brewster has the smaller turn radius.
So looking at the facts, there really isn't much that the Boomerang can do against the Brewster in a close in low speed turning combat. And btw, I never said I was against its inclusion. I've always thought that it is a cute looking fighter and very interesting. I'd fly it for sure. However, I do think that there are far more important planes to add at this stage of the development of the planeset. And considering all of the above and the fact that I've flown this sim for ~10 years, the suggestion that I'd be "afraid" of a certain plane type is rather absurd. While there are better fighters and not so good fighters, it is the pilot that can make either of them very dangerous. That is not to say that certain fighter give you a lot more options than others. Regarding the Boomerang, it would compete in being the easiest fighter for the Brewster to shoot down with the I-16.
Regarding my objectivity, yes, I consider myself objective when it comes to talking about aircraft performance in general. There really ain't much point not to be if this is your lifetime hobby and you are actually interested in the truth. If you wouldn't be objective, you'd be essentially lying to yourself, and that doesn't make much sense now does it? Especially when looking at what is/was needed in the real war, most of the planeset is clearly superior to the Brewster performancewise. I have absolutely no problem admitting that. But let me post a link to a plane that would truly be a Brewster killer in Brewster's own performance envelope which I really would like to see in AH someday:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtiss-Wright_CW-21. It has no place in AH currently IMO, but hopefully someday. I'd love the challenge and I'd fly it too myself. The problem here is that you just didn't have the faintest clue about the relative performance of these planes.
Caldera, I suggest you at least try to think a bit before you submit your next post.
