I wasn't implying all russian planes were inferior,
just the ones the Germans would have faced in the early stages of their operation.

Yeah, they were. But the funny thing is that the most successful fighter pilot ever, Erich Hartmann (352 victories) came to the front in late 1942. By 1943, when around the time of the battle of Kursk and the russian air force swarming around like swarms of bees, he could get a grip on things and shot down one plane after another.
Maybe it was the huge numerical inferiority that made the Luftwaffe so good. The yhad many,many targets for weapons training. Wink

Yup. Many, almost defenseless targets (He-111s & Ju-87).
