Being able to hear your opponent sneaking up on you is a huge advantage when you have the superoir turning ability. Spits still making high g turns with huge holes in the wings. Spit fuel tank that is impossible to ignite yet 109 burns like a tinderbox. Neither Spit or 109 was thought of as a rugged design so if 109 is going to be made of glass then it's only fair Spit should be similar.

Shot of half of the elevator on spit and put a hole in the wing, my reward, the spit proceeded to out turn 3 109`s for another 3-5 min, partly by using the stupid "landing flaps as combat flaps" "trick" (historical accuracy my foot). God knows how many times the other 2 hit that spit, i lost count. In the end he very gracefully sailed down and belly landed, probably because he ran out of fuel.

But its all good, as long as its historically accurate there is no problem and you cant fly for sh*t. Thats how the saying goes any ways.
