Talking cockpits Spit vs Bf109

[Plt Off JRB Meaker]

I came across these two vids on YouTube and thought they may evoke some interest,basically the guy who's discussing the two pits is evaluating one against the other,anyway have a look.

Asking an RAF pilot to compare the Spit and 109 does not seem like the best way to get an unbiased opinion.

hmm will i would have to disagree that he gave a biased review.

He did give the spitfire a better review then the ME but if you actually watch and listen to both reviews completely he didn't really give either one a good review. He just thought there was less bad going on inside of the spit pit then the ME pit I think as a pilot of of Heavy Iron aircraft he is qualified to asses for himself which cockpit, in his opinion is better suited for the role for which it was designed.

LOL he didn't dislike the ME pit because it was made by Germans and he is British you silly people, he disliked that it had less room it in and it had in his opinion worse visibility. and for a fighter pilot these are important features presumably.

Actually he was not asked this question but i would be surprised if he didn't give a bit more credit to the German pilots for being able to be as successful as they were considering that in his opinion they were at a disadvantage cockpit configuration wise.

One might argue that they were better pilots for it

LOL and maybe if you put a person who fly's ME's all the time and never sat in a spit pit inside it they might say "holy cow there is a lot of room in here and it sure is easier to see behind me" I guess we will have to wait for that video

any way Great post thanks for the videos very interesting.
Cheers

PS i used to watch wings as a kid growing up (man i miss that show) anyway i remember a few episodes where British and American pilots flew both 109 variants and 190's and gave glowing reviews of there flight characteristics and ability to dog fight.

Oh but they must have been completely biased towards there own planes and in no way could have said good things about the German planes just as pilots assessing planes my bad .......

this lot is always up for a fight aren't they lol

thanks again great post

Hehe,yeah....what amuses me,is that certain people on this forum would have you believe they are are a devine authority on these subjects,when the vast majority of us know they are just a bunch of ******* who comment far too frequent on here.

You've to laugh at how serious some of these people take themselves to be,after all at the end of the day this is only a game,it ain't real life.
