That is ever questionable.

I don`t think that anyone that knows something about Soviet planes would deny that most of them have been modeled in IL2 in the more say "optimistic" way. Soviet airforce didn`t lose hundrets of aircraft just to inexperienced pilots, and that is what IL2 makes you think.

Translating that for other markets, I think that in some more popular MMO arcade sims the P-51, the Spitfire and the FW190 are bound to be made by according to certain "selling" points : easy controls, superior performance to most opponents, no construction related faults.
