Wow. Just wow.
If the Spitfire is so simple and easy and uber, then it's probably just my imagination that I more often see them getting shot down than doing the shooting.
I think Blackdog is right on with it. It's easy to fly, but hard to fly well. So many real pilots have said that the Spitifre is a gorgeous airplane to fly and reacts almost effortlessly to your control inputs, doing everything you ask of it. Pushing it to its limits properly in combat situations with asymmetrcial aircraft is another matter.
The combat edges we're talking about here can EASILY be explained by the subtle differences in each pilot's individual behaviour, and if there IS something going on, it's not so big that a small tweak won't help.
That spitfire you dove on may have just come out of a dive himself and been carrying quite a bit of speed. Who knows.
I really don't think any more of these 'nerf the 109!' 'nerf the Spitfire!' threads are needed without some actual recorded game video proof. Or a recorded track.
