Bf109G6 needs balance

Hello,

I’m just coming out of a game on the Western Front during which an American p38 took the advantage over all our ground fighters by shooting them down and exterminating the ground troops with its rockets.

I took the 109G6 light fighter thinking that i could easily solve the problem and … I got shot down in my turn, 1 time, 2 times, 3 times after long dogfights. I realize that the P38 turns far better than the 109 ? How ?
I would like to have an explanation because I tried everything, shutters, scissors, boom & zoom, turning around with him like an idiot the maximum i could, nothing to do.
How can a P38 be more manoeuvrable than the 109? Bug or is it done on purpose? Could you check this and balance this ? The characteristics of the aircraft displayed in the garages are wrong or there is something beyond me

Thank you.

If the 109 G-6 can (in your theoretical meta) outturn everything AND has 250kg bomb, what counters it? Honest game design question.

You cannot make the “2 US vs 1 German plane” argument anymore as Germans potentially have 2 aircraft in the air simultaneously now.

The 109 G-6 has a turn rate of 17.0
Climbrate of 25.6
Speed of 681

The P38 has a turn rate of 18.2
Climbrate of 22.4
Speed of 695

The relevant stats for dogfighting are climbrate and speed, which the 109 is both better.

Our of experience the 109 wins most of the time.

Dont forget, some people have 3000+ hours in Warthunder and can do things with a plane a regular player can not.

because the p38 is either full starred, using combat flaps, or both of those

You were simply outperformed by a good Pilot. Put flap steering on your mouse buttons to take advantage. This is a player issue.

109G6 flies like a dream and the 13s are actually worth using in Enlisted unlike War Thunder.
I think you’re just bad, my dude
Nevermind that it gets a 250kg bomb and thus out performs any Allied CAS that isn’t absolute end game

Hello, thank you all for your reponses.

I’m an old il2 sturmovik player, used to dogfights in realistic simulators, playing with flaps and taking advantage by using the strengths of a plane is not a problem.
I don’t think flight skills is the point : problem (for me) is that the P38 was more agile than the Bf109G6 wich is not realistic at all.
Does the upgrades of an airplane has so much impact in this game ? making it turning faster etc… ?
I specify that my 109 is full stock.

in a way yes it does with some of them being increased durability
