Why fly the Spitfire?

Get a few history books, the SE5 was a superb overall plane in climb, speed and very rugged and manouverable at high speeds. While the Camel is too fast in game currently, this is being worked on AFAIK.

AI following through clouds is not only an issue on RoF, you will see that in IL2, CloD, or virtually any other flight-sim out there.

When a Spitfire is slower than the Hurricane and the 109's prop pitch is so slow, that I can have dinner, light a cigarette and go out with my girlfriend until it is from coarse to fine, then something's wrong. The same thing goes for Jabo 109s that happily outclimb and -run Spits with their bombs still attached.

The same history thing goes for CloD: The later 109 E models had only a marginal (if any) performance superiority over the BoB Spitfires. Not what we're seeing in game currently. There's a reason why 109 E pilots were advised to work with their wingmen when taking on Spitfires.

I am glad though that Luthier announced the FM fixes in his recent posts, maybe it's time for you to shelve CloD then as well. I don't think you will like what you will see: history.
