Stick force / g was in the order of 4 lbs / G, so you could easily pull 12-13 Gs with one hand, which would certainly black you out in short order, stall or even break the aircraft.
In Il-2 COD, pulling the sick full back not even stalled the Spit II for example...
The handling is fishy for all aircraft I would say, its very hard to stall them and outright impossible to break them (and I tried really hard flying in the most dangerous fashion possible: full nose up trim AND full stick-on-stomach at the end of the dive at around 350-400 mph IAS, which would be certain to break any fighter in the game two, but you simply can't...). I guess its just more profilic in the case of the Spit, which had ultra sensitive pitch control compared to all others.

I agree with that. It's just a little to easy to fly. I'm sure a well flown Me-109 can win a battle...but the fact is...IMO the skill and practice required to fly the Me-109 is not even remotely mirrored by the Spitfire. Making the spit rightfully touchy would solve this. It was always difficult in RoF because the camel was so touchy and took discretionary control inputs to fly at it's best, just yanking the stick back all the way to turn resulted in a stall.
Also, I do fly on the Atag server. and against other planes

yes, but just the fact I could put myself in a terrible position, the 1st time in the a/c and still come out on top, while flying the plane to a much higher level at 2:1 odds kinda says something...or at least in my opinion.
