109 e3b against spitfire II

[Danelov]

ICDP: A short number of E-1 and maybe some experimental E-3 were used by the Legion Condor in the last stages of the war. The I-16 sometimes was more of a match for the early 109 versions.

I am aware of this, I was responding to VO101_Tom's post on the 109E3 in the Spanish Civil war. Upon re-reading his post I now realise that he meant the current CoD 109E3 is actually performing closer to the very early 109E3 as it was configured in early 1939 (i.e. pre-war). If this was his point then I agree, though the 109E and early Mk I Spitfires and Hurricanes are actually performing slower than they should even for this period.

Yes, it was. Partially.

E-3 enters in service early '39 in Spain. If this would not be enough, ingame performance less than should be (especially in high altitude), bacause of weak modelled engine. Early Spit and Hurri have same problem, but its irrelevant to E-3b vs Spit II question, bacause Spit IIa has no problem like this.

The other thing, we miss what the German engineers developed until one and a half years (at least till aug '40, when Spit II enters service, but its far from end of BOB). Nothing important, only new engines, 100 octane fuel, MG-FF/M gun with mine effect ammo, automatic cooling and PP system. Luthier promised it already, that if not all of them, but we receive some things of these... (We hope, not in Battle of Moscow dvd )

I am actually a Spit flyer....
By all those comments i jumped into the Bf109 to ckeck it myself....
FFS...i can understand each pilot "whining" due a Bf109 in CloD.
It feels like the hurricane Mk1 in Il2FB.
Totally unstable in slow flight, turning like a Bf109G10 in Il2FB.
The revi is almost useless in hectic dogfights.

All your comments above are much more detailed for sure.
Nevertheless i can understand, if just a few pilots are fancy flying a Bf109 on servers, coz it feels like XXXX
Hopefully sth gets changed in the next patch in the Bf109FM, as i am not interested to fly a 5:1 (red:blue) on servers.

do not be flying low!
if you are flying low, do not turn!
if you turn low, do not turn slowly!
if you turn low, slowly, do not be surprised!
