I suggest you guys back off Osprey, clearly he's still in a state of aggravation from the Spit II's FM's being brought back to reality, further degradation of the wonderful properties of the Spitfire are just a bit to handle right now, especially since it seems that the devs backed the Spitnerf with a bit more oompf to the 109.

I can remember flying against Osprey on ATAG, he's an excellent pilot, any time he got shot down, was simply due to undermodelling the Spits and Hurri's, and the continued undermodelling of said craft will force an undue burden of learning upon those who's planes clearly cannot keep up with their skill.

Yes you're right, he is an excellent pilot, not so much in Spitfire Mk.II but Mk.I fighters most of the time (just for the record ). What you say has nothing to do with anything. The truth is, even now, pre-patch, the Spitfire Mk.I is performing worse than it should be and it seems it will not be fixed, quite the opposite.

The issue has been commented and backed up with data - it seems that Spitfire is rolling too fast at given speed. The problem with fabric ailerons should be modelled in the sim (along with 100 octane fuel and correctly operating wingslats on the 109 etc etc ) if we want to pretend we're fighting in the Battle of Britain era.

What is the point of this argueing anyway?
