They were underpowered. (same engine as the much maligned F4F-3A but worse as at least the F4F3A had a supercharger) and had a tendency to ground loop.

Nice guns though, 2 x 20mm Hispano cannon and 4 x .303 which meant they saw extensive service as a close ground support aircraft.

The supercharged version actually compared favorably with the Mk V Spit but by then Mustangs were available and the Mk V was already being superseded so only one supercharged variant was ever made.

Because of the whole NDA thing I'm not gonna say mucha bout the game BUT I got it all downloaded and installed last night. Didn't have time to hook up my stick and pedals. Just doing some test flights with the mouse and keyboard and it looks GREAT and runs very smooth on high/max settings.

Can't wait to get some free time to really delve deeper.
