With respect to the question: there isn't any best fighter. Every type
had its shortcomings. The soviet La7 and Yak3 were pretty much
superior to everything else down low but not competitive at alt. The
late Spitfires and FW's were probably better than the Mustang 1on1 but
with limited range.

Don't trust anybody saying this is the winner hands down.
It's just his sole opinion and nobody here flew one of these planes in
combat.


Well, the P-51H was a significant improvement on the P-51D.
Indeed, the La-7 was a monster down low.

Maybe few if any here have actually flown these aircraft.
However, you can fly them via some extraordinary simulators.

Go to the Hitech Creations website listed in my sigfile and download
the free software. That's right, it's free. You can fly offline all you want.
You can fly online for two weeks at no charge. You'll be able to compare
the best WWII fighters head to head using the most accurate flight models
in the PC flight sim industry. And, it'll cost you nothing but your time.
