Hi David,
Interesting results. I have noticed in this latest RC patch that 109 fuel tanks no longer explode but will burn with the pilot dying soon after. I think it is quite safe to say the the 109 in CloD has no pilot/fuel tank armor.
Also, Spitfires don't burn...ever. Sure sometimes you can set a fabric covered control surface on fire but it won't have any lasting effect, even on maneuverability. If you really lay into a Spitfire sometimes maybe you see some little bit of fire coming out the engine exhausts. But never once in all of the Spitfires I have shot down on ATAG, SOW, Repka, or offline shooting brainless AI flying straight and level have I seen a Spitfire have a fuel tank fire like all of the other a/c in CloD suffer from. 100's of engines knocked out and pilots killed by mg and cannon rounds and not one fuel tank fire. I know the Spitfire was a great a/c but it did not exactly have a reputation for ruggedness/durability. I can't think of any liquid cooled fighter that did.
