Quite right. None of the apposing aircraft have out climbed me when I've had hight energy advantage at the start of a battle. The only exception to this was when flying a Hurricane. If you avoid vortex streaming turns (they look good), but do a series of chandels, you keep your energy state and give yourself the option of a climb or dive gataway. As for Spit or 109, I love both for different reasons. The Spitfire is a beautiful aerobatic machine, the 109 is rubbish at tight loops or turns. The Spit on the other hand has crap armament, 15.7 secs of peashooter ammo, against 6secs of 20mm and 1 minute of twin 7.9 mm ammo. Perhaps I'm a rubbish pilot but when flying a Spit, I only seem to either kill the pilot or perforate his radiator. Conversely, when I fly the 109, I can use the MG's to slow the down the enemy AC, then give them the Coup de Grâce with the cannons at collision range.
