If you put planes and players into historical situations flown historically, even without putting the worse pilots to German side, you can expect, and you will get, historical results.

If you test Ai vs. Ai I-16 type 24 is the best fighter of WW2
Yes, I understand what your saying about the AI, maybe the issue is more with the AI dogfighting tactics than the plane itself, I mean i-16 would have dominated As I don't fly online in historical situations much I haven't tested it out thoroughly. I have had some success on dogfight servers with the P-51D-5, and it seems to be a consensus that here that the AI is not up to handling all the different types of aircraft in Il2. There is no substitute for a real pilot I guess. I still find the D model unstable, but I have never flown a real one, so until that day I'll never know! On a side note, is there any servers that fly historical missions (not just melee dogfights) on a regular basis, or any squads that do this?
