I don't have a pilot's license, but I have flown solo in a Fly Synthesis Texan - which is a 2 seater underwing light sports aircraft (really fun to fly!) - and when I first landed the Spitfire in CloD I actually smiled because it felt just like landing the Texan.

The "floaty" feeling just as I flared and pulled the last of the throttle back to zero as I three pointed felt very realistic to me ( I should mention that the Texan has a stick and not a yoke like a Cessna also).
The Texan has a tricyle undercarriage but obviously you land on the rear wheels nose high so it felt very similar at the initial touch down.

Of coarse the Spitfire is heavier in real life and I haven't flown anything in that weight class, but I like the feel of the landings in Clod and I think it's realistic enough for me.

EDIT: BTW I fly in the game with an extended joystick, CH throttle quad and widened CH pro pedals so it feels more realistic.
