i think turning should be all about who KEEPS THE PLANE CLOSER AT 275 KPH while at full throtle independently of the ride
graphs back up this point
the only real advanatge of the real spit is that under 270 in horizontal turning it stalls while the 109 you can undesterr

Werner Molders was the leading German pilot of the Battle of Britain era, as well as being the originator of the German tactical doctrine of "Rotte and Schwarm". In August of 1940 he was asked to be a part of an evaluation panel which examined a captured Spitfire, Hurricane and Curtis H-75 and flew them in comparison to 109E's. The report was definitive and clear.
Quote:
"Before turning fights with the Bf 109 E type, it must be noted in every case, that all three foreign planes have significantly smaller turning circles and turning times.
An attack on the opponent as well as disengagement can only be accomplished on the basis of existing superiority in performance."

Now who are we supposed to believe, raaaid or someone who actually flew the planes and knows what he is talking about?
I leave it up to common sense....
