And I'm saying you have no grounds to attack my whine (I'll admit it, I was whining  :confused:) for historical reasons when we have spitfires fighting P-51's, and Zeeks fighting Ki-61's.

But what do Spitfires fighting P-51s have to do with the fact that there actually were "excessive" numbers of defencive guns firing at attacking fighters, be they German, Japanese, Russian, American, or British?

Your argument is moot because we weren't discussing P-51s fighting Spitfires and vice versa.  You were commenting about the excessive firepower of the B-17s and how you felt they should be 'toned' down or perked so it would be easier for you to shoot down.  My comment was poking fun at your whine in a very germane way.

Then Ill attack your whine you sniveling dweeb. Since you admit your immaturity above.

You can not even understand the basic concept that war simulation and aircraft simulation are 2 completely different concepts.

Not only that your premises of Zero's and p-51s fighting is again incorrect, you have every opportunity to fly AvA.

So grow up and ask for what you really want. I.E. you want bombers to be easier to kill because you are not skilled enough to be up to the task.
