I don't think so. look up the 325th, 97th, 57th in North Africa. P-40's had an almost 3:1 kill ratio in the MTO against mostly the Bf 109F/G. also had a superior kill ratio against the Macci Mc 202. the Russians used it with great sucsess to against the 109 in the Eastern Front. another good read would be the Palm Sunday Massacre.
