I feel like there is a lot of bias when it comes to the spit, I feel more so than the Me-109. Spit Pilots Complain because they keep getting bounced by the ME-109 and call it a god plane...except for the fact that the 109 pilots are screaming in from a height advantage. From my experiences with the spit, it is far from uber sure, but it's REALLY REALLY good. To fight an ME 109 all you need do is turn and wait for his first mistake. It's easy to fly it on the edge because of it's baby easy flight model. It might well be slower than RL like everyone screams (as far as i know the 109 is too) but it's roll rate is crazy overdone and the controls are balanced wonderfully (which is not right). The Me-109 on the other hand is porked to a degree because it has no wing slats that function. to fight a spit I always seem like I need to fly on pins and needles. Many Times I have had a spit dead to rights (or the other way around) and have had him somehow fly out of it.
and yes, I agree the Me-109 has a completely wrong stall and spin. but I bet thats because it has no slats!
