Interestingly, all three achieved their high scores mainly on the Eastern front. But what is also interesting is the tactics that they used. They were of the "get up close" combatents (if they could get away with it).

The Me109 was an excellent aircraft throughout the war. For most of the war it's many varients were equal to most of the fighters that the allies had. But most importantly, it was generally equal or better to anything that the Russians could throw up, and these three spent most the war there. And most FW 190s were reserved for Reich defence, where they were required against the bombers and bomber escorts - the advantage that worried the Allies so much was it's effectiveness against the bomber escorts just around the time that they thought thet had countered the threats by the introduction of the Mustang.

I don't know about Barkhon, but when Rall was also transferred to Reich defence, he used the G5 which is the high altitude varient with the pressurised cabin - a very good aircraft.
