Whatever the differences, planes on both sides were shot down. Axis Bomber crews suffered heavily, their fighters had low combat time, RAF tactics improved whereas Axis were impeded by Goering's close escort strategy. In simple gaming terms the Spit may well appear to be at a disadvantage given the nature of on-line participation. If there are more 'blue' flyers in CoD MP then at least that will be accurate. I just hope they (Axis Fighters) have low fuel tanks and some of the Allied flyers can work together as a team (which rarely happens at the mo!)
