High alt manouvering - yes. Rest absolutelly not !!!! Idea of forcing people to play where other planes are competitive is ridiculous. Fly your yak at 10k in close support of IL2, you will get jumped and that's the reality of eastern front. End of story. If you fly it at 25k, you're in a pig. 109s and 190s will come down to meet you if killing IL2s is their target.
Same for 8th airforce. Your 109 at 30k is quite sufficient to attack buffs, get lower after that, fight where you can. Who said you should only have "fair setup" in scenario ? If so, i'd like +20mph on my spitfire V when faced with 190s !!! 
It's only fair !!!
KCDitto, i think you might have missed the sarcasm in my post 
In a recent FSO we flew A6M2's and A6M3's vs. P40s and Spit V's. It wasn't fun watching Spit 5's come in 7K above us simply because they could and our A6Ms could not make it that high. On top of that, we were escorting bombers and could not properly escort because the planes dove down and went back up with us having no chance to catch them in either instance.
It is impossible to make things 100% balanced, which is why there is give and take. The 190 is better at some things than others, and the same with the Spit. We do what we can to make it as fun as possible for the most amount of people possible. In this scenario we have C.202s which are laughable and are the worst plane in the setup, but I don't see anyone complaining about flying them. It is rare to see the Axis have an advantage in planeset outside of the Eastern Front, and here that advantage is with 1 plane.
