What am I doing wrong with the spitfire ?

Having said that I hope the non-CEM settings are fixed since not being able to fly like an ace on these settings kind of defeats the purpose of them.

It's not so much whether we have the buttons or not, if they're anything like me they just prefer not to use the CEM. It's a whole other level of difficulty that some of us don't fancy yet, or at all. We shouldn't have to use it to get a flyable performance out of the Spitfire.

This has pretty much killed the GB campaign, as on my last attempt at a mission in a Spit, I couldn't catch up with the bombers! With the simple engine on (which worked fine with the Hurricane), it struggles to hit 200, sometimes as low as 120 with maxed throttle and level flight. That can't be right, surely?
