The only problem regarding fighter tactics with this sim is that we are so spoiled with the fact that Il2 has a majority of all the fighters from WWII... Therefore one of the things that makes it fun is the thoughts like "hmm, which one is it that is faster at low level - the Bf 109 G6 or the Yak 9D?" Should I stay or should I go? Which one turns better? Darn... Should have read up in Hardballs Aircraft viewer or IL2 compare before takeoff!". Therefore we will soon know EVERY detail of the strengths and weaknesses of the ingame representations of the 109 vs Spit or Hurricane... In IL2 it's simply impossible to remember all the matchups at different altitudes etc.
Well, it's good that the 109 E and the Spitfire Mk 1 where so evenly matched that the pilots flying them today do not agree - and neither the war time experiences by pilots from both sides! That will make Olegs statement of that it's the pilot that is the real deciding factor true - and I will probably bite the dust many times vs a Bf 110 when flying a Spitfire
