No, it is not a superior plane. I'd say 99 out of 100 fly the D9 because they can run away from nearly anything. I don't think running away makes it superior. A few good sticks fly it because they like it.
Your explanation of superiority, for both you and the plane, shows you know no other style than to pick and run. That doesn't require a superior plane, or a superior pilot. Just a chicken in a fast plane. Hell, anyone can be a chicken in a fast plane.
Your comparison of K/D ratio assumes equal fights and equal usage. The truth is the P-38L is used quite often as an ordnance dump truck by a bunch of suicide dweebs because it carries as much as many bombers, where as the 190D9 is used as a hit and run vulch machine by the majority of those who fly it. As such, your comparison is as useless and pointless as the rest of your argument. No surprise there.
I'm betting co-alt, co-E, you aren't a match for Ack-Ack, Widewing, Raptor, or Murdr. You might be a match for me. That ain't nothin' to brag about. For you OR the plane. Keep running around in the box like your avatar. We need a good laugh, and you're it.
