Spit IIa

[Whiski]

Indeed some really good info here. If I am correct in my interpretation, it would seem the Spit IIa conforms within the +/- 5% with regard to speed at alt. The 109 seems to be out of range regarding speed and falls short of its proper maximum limits at various altitudes.

Would that be a correct analogy? If so, I agree that having a correctly modeled a/c flying against ones that are currently not modeled correctly, inappropriate and unnecessary. Unnecessary because there are great virtual pilots among us who can fight extremely well with what planes they have available, be it at a disadvantage or not, and still come out with victory, or in a defeat, a hard fought battle that both victor and vanquished can say "good fight mate, white knuckle all the way".

I am looking forward to having the a/c fine tuned for performance. In the mean time, flying the 109, Spit variants and the Hurricane with a great bunch of people, I am still having fun and learning quite a bit about each a/c's pro's and con's.

Keep the info coming gents, I love reading and learning about these era fighters and the men who flew them.

Cheers
