Country: | For an early monoplane, it was. I think the P.11 shot down more plane than P.11s were shot down

| Think its becouse p11 can make a much tighter turn than the 109 wich was just a hell of a lot faster, but this way the p11 could outturn the 109 and hit it a couple of times. Just like in holland in the early days when the germans invaded it. The d21's performance was (ofcourse) more worse than the 109 but it turned tighter. But it aint a better fighter than the 109 (ofcourse).

Country: | Although just A flight sim, I evaded 16 Ace level P-51's in a P.11 (for fun) and even shot a couple down. I stayed away from them by constantly turning. my desire to kill lost me it though...
