Most of it comes down to pilot quality, numerical parity and suitable tactics. The Dutch CW-21s and even the export Curtiss Hawks could perform adequately with Zeroes and Oscars in a dogfight but they faced numerical superiority and were whittled down.



Are you saying this is a Zero sum game?

Depends who is playing.



For my play, it's more like Dim Sum.

I don't recall one there either. Then again when was the last time I played that game? I do have the disk around here somewhere.

The importance of not having "a" in that sentence is very important.
