Razorback, we do want the 2a in the servers. We dont want the 2a in the servers until all fms are fixed. After that its fair game whether it outperforms the 109s or not. It has to be that way cayse when i get my 190 i dont want to hear it hehe.

As far as your observations go with the 109 having all the advantages against the 1 and 1a, you are just not correct. As stated, the 109 has the climb, negative g and speed at level flight. But the spit has the turning radious. If you fly a spit, which i do when the teams require me to do so, i take a 1a and climb. If you engage a 109 with more e then they have, they can only run. If you run into one with more e than you, you have your turn radious as a defense.

As far as turn radious goes, next time your in a server try the 1a and find a 109 with equal energy. Easy to do on repka since most of the 109 pilots there fly at the deck.(i dont know why). Get in a turn fight, put your prop pitch in fine mode, and pull back on your stick as far as it goes without stalling. Heres the trick, keep it there. Keep it on the fine line between stalling and turning. You will soon be behind the 109 that made the mistake of turning with you.

Please try this before stating that the 109 outturns the spit 1 or 1a.
