You're polite Flanker, but do you really think all the planes require the same skill to succeed? I don't think to say garbage by stating that TnB fighting require less self-discipline (see patience) and every new aggressive pilot can get used to it at the first dogfight very fast, since it's a "there 's no need to think: move the stick, aim and fire!"
Instakill.
If the Zeke's pilot keeps downing the Wildcat's one who's trying to turn with him, don't you think that the american pilot will try something different BEFORE the japanese one? Infact the latter does not need to change his tactic at all.. he's winning.
IMO BnZ is harder to learn, required more time and many KIA: it's less rewarding and a guy without patience will switch plane (do you remember the 190's IL2 history?). Because of this I think that the average pilot of BnZ planes (109/190/Hellcat/P47/P51) is actually more skilled than a Spitfire/Zeke/La7 pilot.
Still you enter in one of the most populated IL2 dogfight server and you find most of the 109s flying high and teamworking, and the rest is below, so that I have to fly with SpitfireI/La5/P51C and together with a teammate to have some fun since most of the guys there seem to not cooperate: of course still you find a single 109 who want to turn with you and dies fast... but the same number of BnZing Spitfires.
Of course I'm talking about IL2 1946... only Luthier knows when CloD will be worthy of been played by me.

Sooo... returning to the FM argument: Osprey states that "after 14 months of utter domination by the 109 the FMs are at least brought closer"... Flanker.. do you really believe it was a FM issue?
The last thing about the FM test (to not be totally OT
): have you guys a direct link with the developers? Are you sure that your tests are helping CloD?
Since I think this devotion should be directed where you can actually see results... what about a DCS World MOD?
Maybe one day CloD will actually allow the community to gain from your knowledge and perseverance... SDK?
