amazing!!!

The only way I'd have said that is if you'd requested a variant of something we already have, that flies almost identical to something we already have. Did you ask for the P-51C, the P-38H, or the Fw190A-6? In that case I was right to point this out.

Other than that I don't even know you. Don't twist my words. I never said "if it served we need it".

You don't like the P-39 requests either.

For a different reason. I'd never say we have planes with similar performance to the P-39

He's not qualified to speak about flying LW planes since he can barely fly one himself.

wrong.

109s progressed into this role, but that was only with the added guns... they was designed as Fighters, to hunt and destroy other fighters. Its only once they turned on the defencive that things changed.

However, im personaly sure that if you put 12x 109s vs 12x p51s or 12x p47s you would have the germans winning out. However when its 4x 109s vs 20+ americans.....who is going to win?

much the same could be said for the tank warfare.....

Its the pilot. Not de Plane.

Spits out the hook. And swims away.

This sounds like other air forces can beat the Germans with ease. Actually it took 3 air forces (US/USSR/UK) to beat the Germans!

British planes can out-perform the American ships at medium and high altitudes.
German airplanes can out-perform and run away from American ships at low alt.
Soviet crates are just as fast as Americans but still out-turn, out-climb, and out-gun them.
Japanese kites will eat them alive in dogfights, it's not even a contest.

This sounds like other air forces can beat the Americans with ease. Actually, no air force (Luftwaffe, Imperial Japanese, Italian) beat the Americans!

LOL Bronk.

Hmmm, Chuck Yeager was reputed to have said FW-190 the best plane he ever flew (presumably after war when he got his hands on one)

Since this is a WW2 sim, would be kindof odd to leave out German planes don't you think?

Yeager probally said this because he was dumb enough to ho 190 and lose.

And after war report. Based on test pilots 109 was said to be best all around plane of ww2. alot of enemy planes were brought to Dayton ohio for test during and after war. Final report was 109 in evenly matched pilots hand would win. anyone that lives near dayton could go AF and take photo of report and post would be interesting to post here.

My photo had to much glare from flash on glass. If I remembered right 109 was followed by spitfire then by p47. report was based on all models of 109 spit and p47.

this is by memory so i could be tad off.109 was great climb good armour and great guns. Spitfire manuverability and comfort and ease of new pilots to fly. P47 was speed and guns and could take a beating p51 biggest knock was cooling system more p51's went down with perfect good ship except colling system failure.
