I'm trying to restrict the discussion to Thunderbolts and Mustangs, and the Strategic daytime campaign, and have clearly stated so for clearity (you might back track to some of the original comments).
Up to this point there has only been opinion, little else from both sides of the argument. Ironically I've only stated that the Mustang's reputation is somewhat inflated, nowhere did I add that the Mustang wasn't an excellent fighter. However you've repeatedly stated that the Thunderbolt wasn't much of a fighter, but your counter case isn't based on strong evidence. I'm restricting myself to saying that the Thunderbolt could have done the same job and to some extend actually did the job.
Let me clearify that I am not a Thunderbolt fan nor Mustang detractor, the Luftwaffe side interests me more, this argument can be repeated until judgement day without us agreeing (without meaningful figures).
I fault myself for being to lazy to prepare a proper case for my opinions.
