'43 ETO is the most interesting period of WWII, as far as LW vs. Allied is concerned.

I agree. Malta!

Hi!

Try to remember who modeled the LW iron in WB and you get your answer about LW iron performance in AH...

Sorry, couldn't resist...

What, you mean the same people who modeled the 190D prior to the P47 (if my admittedly flawed memory serves me)?  Or are you referring to the people who modeled the FW190A4, which was probably the second most fearsome aircraft in that long-running version of WB, 1.11?

It's amazing how selective all of your memories are.

Anyone who honestly thinks there's a bias is a dolt.

Once again I am confused.  What does LW stand for?  Lotsa Whining?  

Oops!

Snakeeyes, hehe, nobody is talking about tweaking for purpose. Maybe there is a point where the talent just lacks  

Anyway thanx for your brilliant answer, you hold your usual great niveau I'm meanwhile used to

snake eyes, my isn't your memory selective as well!

The same guys who left the LW with only the 190A-4 (which was the worst turning ac save the P-39) and a stinky 109G-2 for a long time. A the same time there was the P-38J (with hydrolic ailerons), and the P-51D. I'm sorry but isn't this a case of the pot calling the kettle black?

Don't forget that during Kiel scenario WB had P-51 that could out turn Spitfire Mk.IX because its flaps had no drag.

Sounds to me like the poor downtrodden LW types (who nontheless seem to always manage to eke out a superior K/D in every historical scenario despite their "undermodeled" steeds) need to band together and create "KriegVogel" oder "Abschuss!" oder "Experten Daruber" oder was noch so they can overmodel all the LW and IJ rides and finally kick those verdammter Ami shwanzes!

At least they know how the Corsair drivers have felt all these years
