We all compare planes, tanks. compare what is good and what isn't. but exept things that we can read and see, there are plenty of factors that we don't see and read in specs.
For instance mig 15 when was deploed in korea had huge problem: when going in and out of dives cockpit would fog up and pilot wouldnt see sh..t,later it was fixed.
mi 24 when used in afgan proved to lack power to pull up(there were a few crashes),so russians changed tactics they used it like dive bomber.speed helped to pull up and also it had huge psicological effect.
also ww2 me262 was the fastest plane on the block they shoot everyone out of the skies until americans developed new taktics, they flew p51's high and dove on me262's head, killing their speed advantage.much like mi 24's
i'm sure that almost every aircraft has some hidden surprise.
i wonder if any other member of wab has knowege of these hiden problems in any aircraft that they could share with us.
