Sorry lads this is not accurate at all. The 109's (E4 Especially) have a much better climb rate than the rotol in this game, and they are faster at sealevel.
All you Blue drivers didnt evolve the dive and run strategy that you are all so fond of because it didnt work. Oh and lets not forget your cannons.
I fly hurries all the time and the 109 is slightly faster at sea level - just enough so that while you might not loose us completely, you can quite easily draw away out of gun range. It also climbs much better - in a boom and zoom situation the 109 will be able to hold energy and EASILY out climb a hurri everytime.
That may well be historically accurate, so its fine, but it is a little rich when the 109 drivers who are so used to having the advantage and the ability to always run away, then moan like little girls when they come up against a correctly modelled SpitII - which is supposed to be a better aircraft than the 109.
Plus as you would expect a hurri with E can outpace a 109 of course for as long as the E advantage is relevant.
The one good thing though, the current advantage to Blue is forcing us red pilots to evolve better tactics and improve our skill levels. When the devs finally come out and clear up this debate once and for all by stating that the planes are correctly modelled, we will be well placed to make the most our our better aircraft.
