Country:  | What I mean is the engines are not the same, the instruements are not the same, and I belive but I am not sure that the fuselage is not the same size.

Country:  | At high speeds, yes. That's not hard though, against a Zero. I don't know about below 275 mph.

Country: | It could easily outclimb and out dive it. Turning with it wasnt too easy, but there are reports the Richard Bong managed to turn with them.

Country: | As Adler stated, the fuselages look slightly different. To me it looks slightly shorter and a little bit fatter. It also has the essence about it that it isnt real. I cant put my finger on it, its just something i seem able to sense.

This is more difficult than it sounds. If you get uncoordinated on the controls or on the throttles you spin, if you're low, you spin and die!

Country: | it also took forever to go from cruise configuration to combat configuration...........
and CC, i think you're problem is that the new FW, is just that, because it's new, if it looked aged i bet you wouldn't tell a difference.........

Country: | I never said the fuselage looked different, I just said I think the size was different. I think the aircraft just looks new like Lanc said.
