at what speed do i make circles with the 109?

[bongodriver]

well forseeing everybody will fly a spit ii ill have to fly a 109

Strange.......I often feel it is the other way around, most people want to fly german stuff because it is sexier.

i think people fly axis cause theyre aces wanna be

only germans had aces as spits pilots retired to training after 25 downs

I'm sure you don't quite mean it that way.....an ace officially was someone with 5 kills or more, plenty of british pilots had 'ace' status, and many british aces had more than 25 kills.

The main reason I like Axis is because of the cowling mounted MG's and later propeller hub cannons.

It's so much easier to aim and hit something with than the wing mounted stuff. The axis machines are easier to control too in most cases (more automated features such as automatic radiators and propeller pitch adjustment and lessens workload on the pilot.

However that's the exact reason it's fun/challenging to fly allied fighters Besides allied fighters seem less vulnerable when it comes to coolant and lubrication systems

I think you confounded something there. 109's have manual proppitch and coolers (oil and water). I wouldn't say the Spit is easier to fly, but concerning my experience on the 109 and Spit I'd say it takes more "concentration" from the pilot in a 109. But maybe you could say it's a compensation that the Spit can't simply go in a dive cause it's engine would cut out. Hard to say...

Yes, the thing for the Spitfires and Hurricanes is entry in this Spit S fast and clean, quickly and dont loss too many distance or energy before the dive. That take some practice but with the time that come near natural.

actually you can out turns spits with 109

i just outturnerded severals X ) online

the trick is going at 220 kph

you are making a tighter circle at 220 than the spit at 250

so all the spit has to do is reduce to 220 and hes got you beat again, historical fact spitfires could out-turn 109's
