overrev option: +15km/h above FTH

Anything that shows Luftwaffe aircraft trailing RAF aircraft in performance is automatically deemed "controversial" by the 100 Octane Deniers club.

That's not true. I don't have any preferences for the LuftW. I fly red as much as I fly on blue side. The only thing I am battling is the Fantasies of some Spit's illusionists. So I am a non-believer of the theories some are putting frwrd. And once more, this is legitimate in a forum (read it in the ancient roman sense).

Which "fantasies" are you referring to?

Fantasies like this one?

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.

I think he means the ones where the Spitfire is credited with 'any' comparative ability against the 109.
