I'm happy so many people are playing this game but most seem to be playing arcade and in doing so, and this is only my opinion, you are completely missing the point and indeed the vast majority of development work that went into this. The REAL beauty of this game along with the graphics, is the variety of aircraft and their mutlitude of characteristics. I love that the 109 exceeds at running and gunning, I love that the Spit out turns it, I love that the 153 turns on a dime but is slow as shit etc.
So why does this 190 keep up with a 163? Because you are playing arcade and because its meant to be a completely leveling system on purpose and therefore discards most of the realism and all the work that went into this game to make it different from Blazing Angels, Heroes Over Europe, BF 1943 etc.
My advice is to try Realistic, turn your elevators down to half to start and then CAREFULLY select the airplane that best suits your style. Doing this, I gaurantee, will reward your quite correct thinking that a 163 should indeed outrun a 190D9 and by some margin I might add. Your understanding is right but you're playing a version of the game that actually handicaps accurate tactical thinking!
