It turns out that the Spitfire could fly faster than the BF109 at level flight. Could dive faster. Obviously out-turn it, and if I remember rightly, could climb better too.

It was said that the German pilots would rely on their wingman when dealing with the Spitfire.

The BF109E did perform better at high altitude though.

I'll try to find the article again as perhaps it's information wasn't truely correct, but it was just a random google search. Sorry for no link.

Sorry but that sounds like crap, in reality the 109 was faster than the Spit and it could dive faster, the Spit could fly tighter turns and was more agile in dogfights. I learned that years ago from a real pilot who was flying in the Battle of Britain the 109. If it is not like that in this sim, it is simulated wrong and needs to be patched!
