You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see that the Spitfire outperforms the 109 on the graphs. Now take a look at the same aircraft in IL2 compare UP2.01 (maybe there's a later version, I gave it up). You'll see the 109's outperform the IX Spitfires.

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know why on the most biased spit dweeb's home-made graphs the performance tests are cheery picked in such way that that it would show the most poorer performing 109s tested against the best performing Spits tested, and omitting the poorer performing Spits and better performing 109s. Come on, the credibility of that site's fan articles have been discussed in lenght already.

The 109G-2 was imho one of the most accurately modelled aircraft in the old Il-2. And it did historically outperform the early Mark IXFs with the Merlin 61, up to about 8000 meter.
