While I'm no expert on aerodynamics, from what I've read and heard from vets, the 109s are just over-the-top hard to control at high speeds. The P-51 was able to outturn it at high altitude, the Yaks/La at low, but it was definately a maneuverable fighter and not the uncontrollable truck it is in the game at high speeds. There are certain moments I can't even turn with bombers when exiting even a shallow dive well below the maximum dive speed... :roll: Its just too unresponsive (though I have no trouble believed that at high speed it may have lost some performance of the control surfaces).
The other is the speed of the P-51B/C and D/K. In real life the bubble top not only added some instability but actually lowered the speed a bit. In the game its the exact opposite.
