The P39, was there with the 109 since the beginning. At that time, it was a hell of an airplane, much better than now. Still, what we have now is far more acurate than what we have in the begining.
190's are a history apart. They entered as flying bricks, evolved to a pilots dream, and then returned to almost the brick condition again. I rtemember being catch by il2 on level flight on the original il2. Now they are at a far more reasonable point. Not perfect, but reasonable.
The big problem with il2 world, is that the algorithms employed, lack the needed complexity to allow an acurate representation of all airplanes at the same time.
Tweaking in one direction, may correct things in one place, and disrupt them in another.
Obviously a product like DCS could have a better P51 perfromance, it's the only model that needs to be that accurate. They could choose what aerodinamics they could ignore.
Like previously said above, at many different times, some plane or family of planes will go to the all star position, to the underdog of the whole sim. But that is very far away from a conspiration. Is just an an oscilation of the pendulum in the search of equilibrium.
