Josf,
I believe I already managed to answer most of your questions. I am absolutely sure that simply by flying this sim (or playing this game, depending on your point of view) for a bit longer you would figure out yourself. Yes the Spitfire is better at TnB, yes the 109 is faster and climbs better. Yes I believe you guys are inexperienced in this particular sim if you had a single Spitfire giving you 4 as plenty grief as you describe. No, you should not turn against the Spitfires but yes you can outturn many not-so-good Spitfire pilots and all Hurricane pilots. Yes I am familiar with that report and yes I agree with what you said about it. Yes the actual mfp @ rpm settings are crucial for 109s optimal performance (as coded in the game) so if you tell me what yours settings were in a climb or TnB attempts versus Spitfires, I could comment. Otherwise, I have nothing else to add, I wish you good luck exploring this awesome sim and hopefully see you soon in the virtual skies.
