Still Merlin engines stops at idle - not fixed
Still British planes are too slow at ab. 20-30 mph at the deck - 100 Octan fuel version at +12 lbs (emergency) reach only speed accurate for IRL 87 Octan fuel at +6 1/4 lbs. The same 109 is too slow ab. 20-30 kph. Not mention high alt perfomacne. I wonder why speed of British fighter some time ago was degrated where it was more accurate then now instead just rise 109 speed. Now Spitfire MK II can't reach even 280 mph at emeregency +12 boost 3000 RPMs - speed which should be reached only at + 9 lbs - nominal power.
Again rudder is less effectivness then should - it is not possible to make good stall turn in fighters becasue of weak rudder. PAtch before at least in 109 rudder was much better and was possible to make quite good stall turn. Su26 is better - it is possible to make good stall turns ( it is need to use only some degree of rudder).
