Johnnie Johnson - Wing Leader
Zuti - Good to see you reading some excellent WWII aerial history ( I have reproduced the pp below in jpeg format for all to read).
"Buzzsaw' has pointed you in the right direction - Capt. Eric Brown is one of the best authorities (he has posted several posts on Ubisoft's IL2 site about our fantastic flight sim)
From Capt. Brown's memoirs - 'In the dive, the Fw190 could leave the Spitfire IX without difficulty and there was no gainsaying that in so far as manoeuvrability was concerned, the German fighter was markedly the superior of the two in all save the tight turn - the Spitfire could not follow in aileron turns and reversals at high speeds and the worst heights for its pilot to engage the Fw190 in combat were between 18,000 feet (5485m) and 22,000 feet (6705m) and at altitudes below 3,000 feet (915m)'
You can play this scenario in mission 11 (Dieppe) of my offline campaign 'Wing Leader' found on Mission4Today.com. I will shortly be updating 'Wing Leader' to 4.09 ver. with many added ground features and some 'tweaked' missions.
