Good afternoon everyone,
I've been soaking up a lot of knowledge around the forums and am becoming more addicted to WWII ac! I enjoyed a lot of the technical discussion on the various x WWII fighter vs X WWII fighter threads even though they get difficult to understand with some of the numbers involved. It seems to me that in the end it always comes down to certain planes do x better than the other and it comes down to pilot skill. In that spirit I was hoping we could list the individual strengths that a good pilot would exploit for various WWII aircraft. Lets start with the P51, p47, p38, spitfire, tempest, 109,190. Lets assume late models of each without factoring in mechanical failures. Lets leave out post war/extremely late war models like p51h and ta152h for now. As the discussion goes on we can dive into earlier models as well. I apologize in advance since I don't have much information to add but I'm very eager to read everyones replies.
