Flyby- i'm finding the difference between the Merlin powered machines and the 109 to be quite stark. The merlin is definitely more robust than the DB- it seems you have to watch the gauges much more closely on the DB as it is very easy to over-rev it and that means game over.
The merlin is practically bullet proof if you keep your radiator open.
The acceleration of the Spit and Hurricane is woeful- if you're in a 109 with more E, they are toast. A number of times i've been caught climbing in a Spit from an airfield on full switch servers and there is no chance of getting E to make it a fair fight, whereas in a 109 you can get some speed up to get away just by dropping the nose. The difference to Il2 is quite marked.
From accounts i've read of vets opinions it seems pretty accurate, the Spits are definitely easier to fly but if you master the 109 you're deadly.
