Why is everyone so surprised that a Russain company made the American planes suck?

no.

Why would they do purposely that? It would only be their loss because they would have unhapppy consumers and sales would decrease.

EDIT: AND the team even admitted they had made a mistake on the P-51 and hopefully it will get fixed. If it was really an evil plot why would they admit it was wrong?

Exactly. It's just the beginning of our... well I can't say in front of the Soviet enemy

Similar to the Stuka, the IL-2 needs air superiority to survive. There was NO armor at all for the rear gunner on the IL-2, they had horrid casualty rates.

This is why I get so frustrated that the rear gunner is invincible when im shooting it with my BF-109G6. 3 Cannon and 2MG's cant kill a rear gunner with no protection. However, I am able to get under the rear of the IL-2 and waste it with the 109. I do believe it is QUITE A BIT over statted, but there are some ways around it.

To be fair, maybe its just me, but I find the B-17 nearly invincible. I have not encountered it mutch yet, but I have 3 kills and 2 deaths against B17 with my 109.

I believe the Yaks are a bit over statted as well, but a short burst of BF-109 cannons from a distance will send it down in flames.

Really my main complaint about the game is the IL-2 itself. The rear gunner should die from a single decent hit. The Russians apparently did not care about their rear gunners, history backs up this statement.

To be fair, I think the P-51 and yes, the Spitfire are two of the most over rated planes in history. I am not disapointed with the P-51 model.

I have more complaints and compliments, but over all.....this is the best WW2 flight game on the 360 console.
