Don’t think it really matters how good a job it can do.. if its slow its vulnerable. Most aircraft can carry out the job they were intended for, if attacking unopposed, but then how often does that happen?
For instance look at another naval type, the Blackburn Skua. Very good dive bomber, certainly for its time, but once its released its load and is on the deck what then? Top speed of less than 300mph, relatively underpowered, extra weight of second crew member, docile rather than sprightly flying controls.. and then you come face to face with a ‘109’.

Sorry but as much as i like the ‘Stringbag’, for me it was the incredible bravery of the crews rather than the actual aircraft that got the job done.!
