There is a lot to read through... Sorry but many have argued the current FWs are starting to match up with real world performance numbers. Who's performance numbers? There is always some sort of axe to grind here and I'm sorry but trying to burn off speed from 500 Kmh to 200 Kmh while landing is a tough task even with gear and flaps down which tells me there is something goofy about the current FM. Of course this is anecdotally speaking but when it walks like a duck and talks like a duck it’s a duck. For whatever reason I can’t seem to pull this off during a fight either.

Flying Spits vs 109s: I've had Spit IXs situated below me in a FW190 A8 at least a 1000m difference both of us flat out level flight and opposite directions... Pull vertical from below and execute an immelman turn and easily catch me without me manuevering flat out. In fact I couldn't even dive away with the current version of HSFX.
I agree with some of the results in turn testing, she does turn a little better and climb a bit better. Top speed seems to take forever to get to now and you can be hunted down by Spits easily if you aren’t extremely careful. Is this historically correct? Who knows… I will leave that to the guys that want to argue performance charts and which ones are correct. The current FW we have been neutered IMO and It’s true the FW has been one of the most altered FWs in the game
