Actually with a 109 you harly will get ever a shot from 6 astern. Either because your target is fixed on someone and is turning wildly or because he can hear you from 500m (needs to be fixed because it is not realistic that one hears sounds from outside).

It still remains that I have seen a thousand times Spits doing a turning fight and winning even though they have been badly damaged (on Repka one has external view). I guess the same is for 109s.

Basically I think it is currently a bit unrealistic that if a spit looses one half of its elevator that it still can outturn me and catch on me with ease. That is what I challenge.

The same basically goes for 109 loosing half of its wings. One has some small torque but that's all. You still can land safely.

The best way currently to score a kill is to kill the pilot. I agree that this was the ultimate goal (with all the nastyness of meaning of course) in an air combat back then but my difficulty is that I wonder how they scored kills at all bck then.

Even when I am badly damaged I usually can get home and actually land ...
