He didn't say that, of course and I agree the lack of compressibility gives an unfair advantage to EVERY diving plane... my reply was about the unfair advantage against "angle fighters".

My dream is to dive with the sun at my six and approaching slowly the enemy: in IL2 you need to go so fast since he can see you in 2 second (if the pilot is smart) and so you have almost no time to attack his plane (if you can spot and track it under your plane, of course).

With the implementation of a realistic visibility function (realistic scanning time and reviewed dot system) and the abolition of the damned engine radar then the compressibility issue can be limited, since we won't need to dive at high speed.

Because of this I said it's not only a issue of low priority, but it can damage the entire combat simulation.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
