Spitfire followed me at full throttle all the way to my home base of course.
Easy kill: fire some shots passing under your mates and you'll see them diving down for the kill.

Trying to chase an Fw190 in a Spit (not 25lbs) is sign of noobness IMO. You are a easy target for DnB (who is the way you have to fly 190s). Infact these noobs don't even check their six... In that case Spits are really a easy kill... Tempests and P51s scare me more.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
