 No plane is a P I G when there are no icons. Well excpet for the Brewster Bufaloe   ;)

The Brewster Buffalo is lotsa things, but a pig it is not.  The original F2A-1 model was, to quote the factory test pilot, "the most maneuverable monoplane in the world".

But in case you were referring to the F2A-3, thats another story.  ;)

ram... u continue to ignore the fact that the germans did their best work when they faced forces that were tied to ground support roles as in north africa and russia.   If they didn't start with an alt advantage they didn't do so hot and if they had to come up to their enemy they did very poorly.   When they had the most experianced pilots in the theatre they did well when they lost experianced pilots and had more green pilots they did poorly.  No real mystery.

The several dozen "romance" semi fiction bios that are out there are fun to read but they cause problems when that's all a person has read and then he comes in a flight sim thinking that the P47 or 190 is the best dogfiter in the world and gets his butt handed to him.
