Been following this thread for awhile thought I'd add a little spice of my own:
Yes the stang has been getting its nose bloodied for awhile now, that's mostly do to lone wolfing though, but speaking from personal experience, if flown at altitude with speed and with a wingman your odds will skyrocket, we've achieved many kills for fewer losses, (i can prove it) i never hop on the ww2 servers without my good friend and wingman.
As far as the jet menace goes the stangs and jugs would just tail them back to their airbases and nail them taking off or landing, so much so that the jet bases had to have fws patrol above and with increased aaa. The engines were tempermental and would flame if mishandled and im sure going hard at the throttle all the time will reduce the endurance of the plane as well. It also turns like a shopping cart. I feel though the servers should limit the me-262 to 2 or 4 planes to simulate the rarity of coming across one in a dogfight.
Now with addition of the jug, people will be more inclined to do ground attack missions in the game now, and I can see attacking airbases in the future more of a reality now, since doing so in the stang is suicide thanks to its glass jaw engine, but thats mostly due to the accurate aaa that wasn't in ww2, (but the 88 and flak 38 will be dangerous nevertheless)
