Yep. So we want to see a 109E shooting down about 80 Spits and a Spit shooting down about 20 109s. ;)

The allies. But we've had far higher scoring aces,like Marseille and Hartmann.
We were just far too few...;)

But weren't most Luftwaffe kills scored against inferior russian craft?

Depnds. I wouldn't consider russian craft inferior. But Luftwaffe pilots were on duty 24/7 and for the whole rest of the war,while allied (western) pilots were retired after 25 missions or sent back home.
Methinks the main cause for the high scores of the Luftwaffe were the inferiorly trained russian pilots.

Good thing I phrased it as a question, and not a statement.

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

As for that twenty-five mission then get sent back doohickey, I didn't know that.
So I'm going to concur with your notion.
