I've read literally hundreds of combat reports from the Battle of Britain, both sides. Most of these guys were professionals, and eventually if you read enough, you can build a picture of what happened. OK, there's no numbers, but it's foolish to disregard them.

As Geoffry Wellum P/O 19 squadron BoB said "People ask me how can I remember it all, I just say, how could I forget?"

Read Brian Lanes account of a turning battle with a 109 where he sees the aileron snatch on the 109 , read Gallands stories of diving down onto Spits and being able to engage and disengage at will. Both from men who knew what they were doing.

The truth is a blend, where the math's ends the history helps.

Don't be partisan about it, there's enough people on here from both sides with enough knowledge to make CLoD/BoM the definitive sim.... If everyone would just stop arguing....

There you go, I think they call this "sitting on the fence".. oh well.
