You can find "underperforming" or "wrongly modeled", or "porked" aircraft everywhere in the sim. Especially if you look at them out of the context of the overall plane set. Every aircraft's fan boy base has their favorite complaint. I know, because I champion my favorites as much as anyone does. However, and this is the important bit, taken as a whole the sim does a very good job of putting the aircraft in their proper place vis-avis their adversaries.

Just my thoughts after 8+ years of playing.

And really the FW 190A series are far from being the most problematic.

The worst IMHO, in no particular order:

P38 rate of climb. (underperforming)

P38 compressability (too pronounced at low altitude)

A6M series speeds. (too slow)

A6M roll stiffness at speeds. (too early an onset)

Wildcat top speed. (too high)

Hellcat top speed of late version. (too low)

Ki 61 turn/maneuverability. (underperforming)

P40 series turn/maneuverability (underperforming, P40 should out turn Spitfire I and II below 15,000 ft. Hawk 75 was even better.)

Ki-100. Underperforming in general, especially maneuverability.

All bombers. Too robust. (The in game version of the death star)
