Kill vs Loss is not the best qualifier, since there are many other factors involved, like quantity, quality of pilots, quantity and quality of enemy. Like I wrote earlier, the average Jagdwaffe pilot in 1943 was a more dangerous enemy compared to the one in 1945.
Fighting 1942 IJN fighter pilots can not be compared to fighting 1944 IJN fighter pilots.
Its the context that tells so much more.
If we are only looking at (basic) performance stats and kill/loss ratios, we are not looking much further than our nose...
grumble...I promised to keep out!!
Sorry
