Oh good, Buzzsaw is here, which means it's bias time!

I'm pretty sure everyone that matters acknowledges that all the FMs on both sides are wrong.

And perhaps the 109's have some small details, but when compared to the British aircraft, they are far better off,
Yes, we all know that they should ignore the flaws in the 109 because the RAF has it worse. They definitely shouldn't fix ALL the errors on BOTH sides. Let's minimize/ignore the 109's problems like being way too easy to get into a spit/accelerated stall and being 50 km/h too slow at altitude. Because those Blue guys are just Nazis. I won't even get into how bad the G-50 is.

in fact their ability to zoom climb with ZERO energy is highly suspect.
What a joke. Please post a video of a 109 zoom climbing with zero energy. I dare you. Until you do so, you are nothing but a biased troll. Something tells me we won't see a video of a zoom climb from "ZERO energy" though. I won't hold my breath.

This situation is far from being a realistic portrayal of the situation in the air in the Summer of 1940. If British aircraft performed this poorly, the RAF would have lost the BoB instead of shooting down far more German aircraft despite being completely outnumbered.
The Soviets repelled the Luftwaffe. Were they also flying superior aircraft in 1941? The RAF didn't win because of overwhelmingly superior aircraft. Correlation does not imply causation.
