What it feels like to battle Hartmann

THat is probably the best proof you can have about his intelligence.

Only a stupid would stay and fight, alone against four P51Ds in a Bf109G14. WE all fly Aces high. Those guys flew FOR REAL, and died FOR REAL. No respawnings.

So IMO he did the most intelligent thing (if we forget about the fact that the american P51 pilots were used to shoot german chutes late in the war :rolleyes : )

"...Hartmann flew over 1400 missions without losing a wingmen.
He took pains with the education of young pilots coming to the front straight from the schools."
That tell something about him too.
