Valid argument. But would other rides tend to have better K/D because of the caliber of sticks that fly them???
Like the Spit IX has Bruv flying it (or used to) and I bet it's K/D was better then the 8 and 16 when he was strictly killing in that. Or whatever rides your in that month, don't they tend to have a higher K/D??? Wasn't it you flying c205s for a tour and the overall K/D of that plane became like 3:1 when it normally is like a 1:1? Maybe it was someone else....just remember looking at the stats for the plane after I seen it.
There are very few planes with so little usage a single player or even a small group of them could tilt the stats by so much.
While there are some planes which have their K/D significantly improved by having a cult following, genuine capability and, even more, combat role impact it even more. And as a rule of thumb, planes with a large following generally have somewhat lower K/D.
But if you look at the overall picture, the Brew has a very low A2A K/D for a pure fighter. If it really was such a marvellous LW fighter, it would mean that about every capable pilot in AH is avoiding to fly it it... which makes little sense.
And if you look at the specs, it's quite clear why. It lacks level top speed, acceleration/climb rate and it quickly sheds speed after a dive. It needs a pretty good, disciplined and aware pilot to overcome these limitations on a regular base.
Last, but no least, ENY value in game does not only reflect a theoretical capability based on raw performance figure, but even more the actual role, usage and impact a plane has in a particular arena. The Brew is a relatively little used dogfighter with even less success. (I will post another chart later today)
