The issue may be still legit, but without knowing what were the real cooling properties of the Spitfire Mk. I/II and what are the cooling properties as modelled in Clod compared to the real thing, we are just wasting time.

The 109 have not a such problem, open the cooling flaps, and fly until out of fuel. We can using the notleistung any time, any altitude (ok, over 4K it have no effect, because of the limit of the compressor).

But i want to say some word of the tactics. It's no rocket science, who is higher, who have more energy in the fight, who surprises the other, he have great chance to win the combat. If one of the opponents have 500m, 1000m advantage, nobody cares the climb rate, or the top speeds, it's just shaded the image, but the end result is not significantly affected. No matter which plane are on the top, and the bottom (As we saw on SOWC, many 109 was shot down, if the Reds suprised us). A lot of old SpitIIa was shot down as well, but that aircraft was much better than any other plane in the Clod history. But you can't make a machine what would help on the idiot, or lazy tactic (my favorite the Repka, when the Spit pull the stick like an idiot, open full flap, almost stall, and he asked after went down "how can the 109 turn better than mee?Crappy FM, i want old IIa, Fuuuuu"... Geez...

Robo. On the repka the majority of air kills get from suprise. Once we should try in 1v1 (common 1v1 rules) of the planes against each other. Couple of days ago we turning off the CEM on my server (we practicing with a few beginners). The Spit 100 octane climb more than the 109, I only blinked. Seems, the Spit have much more performance, but the current CEM allow only less (so it's a CEM issue, not FM issue).
