Simulator this, simulator that... at last for most the only important thing is to take down the enemy...

If it could be done in the 109 too I'm quite sure there will be many guys doing the same: it's because issues like these that I like to fly within a limited community.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
