BTW, I fly the 110 for already 4 years now, neraly exclusively. You sure need a lot of trim to have it fly level, and also to counter the torque of he engines. I got used to that. I think Spitfire pilots will just have to learn that too now.

Am not really complaining about the new Spitfire FMs, they seem quite reasonable to me, but I have a few issues with your description of the Spitfires flew before 4.10.
First, the E-Retention is not magic, it the result of having a relatively light plane with a large wing area and a reasonably powerful engine. A rare combination in fighters, and something none of the Luftwaffe birds have. Changes in 4.10 are to slightly increase the wing areas to real values, but also make the Spitfires slightly heavier, also in accordance with real values. Effect seems to be that E-Retention is slightly down, but it not a big difference.
Second, if you think Spitfires take damage well I think you need to try flying them yourself
Unfortunately, while altering the FMs, TD doesn't seem to have fixed the problem of the Spit25lbs being about 10mph too slow and missing about 15% of its climb rate at low altitude, but I won't make an issue of it.
