This is a great thread and not one I would expect to find on the site. The discussion of which aircraft is the best of WW2 strays from the original question of "The Planes are Messerschmidt's and Spitfires which one would you want to be in the cock pit of". Not flaming the fire here but I would choose my aircraft based on my enemy. Each has there advantages over others to be honest. Take the Zero for example. It was light and very maneuverable, but had no armor and light weight guns. Still it ruled the sky's for awhile.
I still say if I had to go into a fight against a Messerschmidt's I'd want a Mk16 Spitfire. That RR Griffin engine screamed and it had a clipped elliptical wing which is the best for all around performance.
