Recently I have been expanding my interest in World War II from ground combat to the air war. This is not a thread about which fighter better; what I want to know is what are the strengths and weakness of the birds and how would a pilot play his hand in a fight between them.
If you are put into the cockpit of a high flying and fast P-51D and you spot a Bf-109K climbing into your altitute to engage, or a F-190D/F-109G bellow that you want to kill, how will you going about doing that? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Mustang and the German fighters in such a line up? Conversely, if you are in that F-190D or Bf-104G/K, what will you do?
*Edit: I must be suffering a brain power deficit because I forgot about to put the BF-109G in the thread header....
