Good matchups (P-51 vs FW190...)
« on: August 23, 2012, 11:58:58 AM »
What do you consider the best overall matchups between fighter planes both in game and in real life? Seems like the P-51D vs FW190D would be a great matchup. A6M vs the Brewster also seems ideal. Anything else come to mind?

Pony vs 190D is pretty good indeed.
my thoughts:
F6F vs Niki
109E vs Spit1
109F vs Spit5/8/9/16
109G2/6/14 vs La5
109K4 vs La7
190A5 vs D-jugs (under 22k of course)
190A5 vs P38J/L

A6M vs F4F

In a 1V1 I'm afraid there is no matchup here. The A6M rules in key characteristics.

following debrody's drift I'd say

190A5 vs la5
109K4 vs spitfire mk XIV

D9 and 51 are not really a great match up in the MA. Most of the action in the MA is below 10k where the Mustang has a decided advantage. D9 is a little faster and a little better in the vert at slow speeds, but the mustang handles infinitely better, and its flaps are a huge advantage. If you are just going to show up high and pick a furball, I guess the D9 is pretty good. The 152 and A5 are better match ups for stall fighting the mustang IMO.

The September FSO pits Spitfires (Mk.Ia and Mk.Vb) against 109s (E-4 and F-4).

A5 vs Mustang is always fun.

A5 vs 51, or d9 vs 51, they may be fun once in a while but honestly speaking the mustang holds all the cards, really.

Don't get me wrong, I have a couple specific fond memories of long fights against ponies in both those 190 models, but overall I was just better. It wasn't the plane, for the most part.
