Where I think a lot of peoples' perceptions go wrong is when it comes to defining the 'edge of the envelope'. I don't think more than the top couple percent of sticks can actually get right to the edge of the aircraft's capabilities in this game. I also think about half the players believe they can. 
In RL, the percentages are likely a lot lower. I'd bet very few engagements in the war were actually decided by the properties of the aircraft versus the capabilities and decisions made by the pilot.
When it comes to videos/anecdotes, there's just no way to know the exact conditions of the planes, skill levels of the pilots, and the legion of other factors that contribute to the outcome.
When it comes to ingame performance, math is the only thing that counts. Everything else is just noise.
