No, they're pretty OP just in general, in stats at least. Consider this, American and German planes have a huge turning radius and giant guns, and are also quite hard to maneuver well. Japanese and Brit planes (gotta love those Brits) have little armoring and moderately big guns, but much less than the Germans and American planes, and are quite a bit more maneuverable. Russian planes can make itty bitty turns, have guns with a fire rate higher than most other guns, are well armored, and fast. If that isn't the textbook definition of OP, I don't know what is. By the way, if you do go into WT, get a Spitfire, not enough people play the Brit fighter line.
