Aww not quite true David: The mustang had one big advantage, The Me 262 was less maneuverable than the P-51 and other Allied pilots could catch up to a turning Me 262. This is history taught at Red Flag. Exploiting an aircrafts weakness and or a pilots inexperience is one of the fundamentals of dog fighting. Truthfully there is no apples to apples comparison with any two aircraft all have pros and cons.
But on the note of Superchargers & Carbs or fuel injection and Nos... I think the answer in what works best is a blending of the two: fuel injection and forced induction. If we are being theoretical then I think the winner would have been the side that chose this...Or perfected the jet first
again just my 2 cents worth.
