If I remember correctly, that particular spitfire was heavily modified (special propeller, etc.) and was not representative of the 'service' spitfires that fought on a daily basis. While it's true that the late-model Spitfire has one of the highest critical Mach numbers of period fighters, there's more to fighter performance than that.

So pleas ATAG put the 2a in it and let the RAF Strike back
The Spit 2a is the only aircraft getting historical performance at the moment. All others underperform greatly. As a result the 2a is game-breaking in the sense that it outperforms the 109 in every aspect.

109 pilots attacking a Spit 2a must surprise the spit and kill it on the first pass, or die. Once the pilot of the 2a knows you're there, he can out-climb, out-turn, and out-run you.

As it stands, the combination of Hurricane/Spitfire Mk1a is very potent when flown well. If it seems that the 109 is overpowered, that is because so many rookie pilots insist on doing tight circles on the deck, or invading France at low altitude.
