Spit IIa

[Whiski]

So, I have read quite a few posts regarding this a/c.

One question. Why do most people think its over modeled/over powered?

After flying it offline to test some (not all) of the speeds at various alts it seems to conform to most if not all the websites I have visited regarding its real life spec's. Some websites being:

http://www.spitfireperformance.com/spittest.html
http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com/Im...pit2Manual.pdf
http://acepilots.com/planes/specs.html.

All spec's from various sites are rather close. I did not find anything to be "Over powered/Over modeled" when comparing in game to these websites.

I only tested the speeds at various alts and nothing else. Using combat and normal operating procedures (by that I mean using it so not to blow an engine) I found it within the stated specs from the websites I visited.

So am I missing something here, have I not found the end all be all of spitfire specs website?

I know there are 2 sides to this debate: "the 109 is superior and should not be out performed by a spit" and the other side "The spit was far superior and could out perform the 109". Both planes had advantages in different areas of combat and normal flight. So, can anyone provide irrefutable proof that the Spit IIa is not modeled properly in game (conforming to real life specifications).

I am neither saying it is or it isn't. I am just trying to get your facts (not an opinion) to either prove it is or it isn't over modeled.

Cheers
