I kinda feel like Oberon... there's just a very stark contrast between the demo aircraft and the other ones. I kinda feel they dumbed down those 2 (a little) to lure people in. For example, the Albatros D.Va seems to outperform the Fokker D.VII in dogfights by a fair margin, though historically the latter replaced the former in service entirely. In fact, as far as I can tell real pilots were never too fond of the Albatros, considering it nothing more than something that they had to make due with.

But yeah, there's no comparison really. Basically, RoF is the benchmark, making it rather hard to figure out if they got it right or not.

Don't get me wrong; love flying those crates in RoF. But I'm a little apprehensive of the company behind it. (buy an aircraft > not quite what you wanted > buy another)
