Spit IIa is now so much more inferior to the 109

Seriously, there is no way that is historically correct. I am an ok pilot, I know about energy etc, but the 109 is such a better plane in this sim now, there is no point trying to fly in a dogfight 1 on 1 if you're in a spit.

Can you give us the relative energy states at the start of the fight?
What was your altitude? What was the 109's one?
The speed of both?
