I've seen you complaining in the chatline yesterday and my guess is you've been just unlucky. I agree with the others that unless you end up low and slow circling the RAF airfield, the AAA is not much of a threat for a small 109s. In fact even the German aircraft strafing the bases (Hawkinge and Manston as per objectives) didn't seem to be bothered too much and Stukas or 110 got away easily unless they loitered in ther for too long. Yes the visual show is nice, the flak can give your position away and it actually hits sometimes. Like 1 in 500 burst can come really close. In fact it is just as likely to hit your Spitfire in the same area because the ack ack chaps don't bloody care!
I suggest you keep flying on ATAG and stay away from the actual bases, fly higher up and you should be fine just like everybody else.
