Respectfully Disagree, It's not a matter of player to player.....almost all planes have a WAY to fly them Easy mode and rack up kills. Hell the P40 is a HELLUVA bnz bird so if you get a lot of alt over top a furball....the P40 becomes easy mode.
My pet peeve planes are F4U's/Brewsters....because IMO they are the easiest planes to fly in game, that's where your argument comes into play.
My limited experience flying all the "turny" bird planes....the Brew is by far the most simple. And before someone brings up the "limited" portion, I don't fly them because I don't get hardly any challenge while flying them.

I'm more of a player vs. plane kind of guy myself. I just pretend everything is a Spit V and fly it that way. They all can do the same stuff for the most part. It's just a question of at what speed/alt and how soon/late what ACM needs to be initiated. Some are definitely much better suited for typical MA engagements than others.
I think you need to define "easy" though because people say this about F4U's and then they also say it about La-7's, which are totally different beasts, though they're both "busy" planes to fly (at least in a 1v1 angles fight). They do each have some great options to exercise and are competitive against pretty much anything non-perked, but they have some big weaknesses too and just like any other plane need to be flown to their strengths.
If you're saying they're easier to stay alive and get kills in than a lot of other birds, then I guess I'm with you, but you could say that about any fast plane.
As for Brewsters and the really slow turny planes, well, they're easy to turn and turn and turn but they can't dictate any fights. You either accept their terms for fun or you have your way with them.
