I don't disagree with the posting above but it does emphasise the importance of training and experienced. An experienced pilot in the SPitfire will outturn the experienced pilot in an Me109, but an inexperienced pilot in the Spitfire is at serious risk against an experienced 109 pilot.

The same document is saying that the Spitfire and Hurricane have superior turning at slow speeds and that pilots aren't likely to attempt it because they're worried about the flick stall.

Well, CloD pilots probably are a little more risky with their turns than real life ones, so they're getting that better performance at low speeds.

If the 109 doesn't stall out as bad as the game is modelled (ie, the plane settles out into a slip and the pilot can easily recover by leaving the turn - centering the controls) that doesn't explain some people then saying that the 109 should be able to turn inside the Spit or Hurricane?

I'm confused now.
