I'll not be too critical of Gaston's post- we're striving to (within certain limits) recreate reality with our computer simulations. It's not unreasonable to expect that a good simulator would be capable of recreating reality. Put another way, if it worked in real life, it oughta work that way in game.
However, there are many factors working against the creation of a good simulator, not the least of which is a lack of usable data. This is further compounded by the effect of pilot ability on performance.
Thus, while it is worthwhile and commendable to try and analyze all pertinent reports, and then compare them to the results in the simulator, we must remember that the FW190 WE fly exists as computer code in a program. We fly that airplane, and ingame pilots have found what tactics work well, with that 190.
Gaston, if it makes you feel any better, I got outmaneuvered in my 109, in the horizontal by a P-47 the other day
