Wait.. what?
The only advantage the spit has is turn rate and agility..
The 109 dives faster, has more ammo, canon, is faster, engine can handle positive Gs.

I still fly hurricanes and spits though..

yea as long as your satisfied with hit and run tactics, some people prefer the dogfight though and no the 109 is not faster than a spit, it just has a little better climb and acceleration.

So far on every online server i was there were only spit2s flying around. Hardly anyone is looking for good fights. Its just pawnage most people seem to want. Same as most dogfightservers in IL2 where all planes are allowed and half of the crew is flying la7. Might as well activate god mode )

I havent tried it online yet but are there any people running coops like in original IL2?
Coops are my fav!

Spit2 is not available on most "full-real" servers for a long time )) Check Syn server or Repka.

Roger, good to hear. Anyway i didnt critizise the availability of spit2 but the mentality of people

Thats kinda funny since its the only plane approaching a correct fm, at least down low (as there all fubar at alt).

but makes sense since the other spits and the 109 are nerfed so much.

for me, until the fm's are fixed to be somewhere close to reality, i'm not even going to bother with online.

I've yet to see a Spit MK1 put up a good fight online. Everyone is in 109s when I log on. I think maybe the neg G cutout is really putting people off.

A lot of Spitfire fliers in the past chose the spit as it was an easy option, now that there is some difficulty in flying it they've jumped ship to the 109.

When MP really takes off I think we'll see the proliferation of Spit MK2 and the Spit MK1 will be relegated to the empty servers.

Well, the 109 is not exactly easy to fly either, what with the manual pitch and all.

To be honest, i never flew Spits in IL2 because it was so easy to fly that it was a constant temptation to do silly things with the idea that i can get away with anything, then end up getting bounced by something with huge cannons
In fact, most of the really successful and really dangerous Spit pilots online where found up high at contrail level. It wasn't the Spit on the deck i was worried about in my 190 unless he managed to get the jump on me somehow and i couldn't accelerate or dive away in time...it was the guy up at 8km that could scatter a flight of four 190s.

In CoD though, the Spits has actually got a decent bit of workload and forces you to think in terms other than pure two-axis geometry (aka yank and bank), so i have started enjoying it too.
The Luftwaffe birds are also nice because they have some extra complications for the benefit of improved performance in the 109 (once the FMs get corrected) and massive firepower in the 110 compared to the rest of the fighters in the sim (the 109 is not shabby either, but the 110 is easier to score hits with due to the guns all being in the nose).

Long story short, the more complex the sim the more interesting all the aircraft become to use
