You guys dont seem to get it. Fighting a Spit IIa in a 109 you are blue dead meat no matter what you do - given pilots on even skill level.
Thats my point.

While a Ia or a hurri with a good pilot not necessarily looses against a 109.
And btw. i would not get any satisfaction from a kill achieved in an ufo. Thats why i dont fly them.

Yesterday I saw you fight (someone with your nickname) flew over our airport landing Hurry destroyed. then flew around the airport for them 3 Hurri. Nobody caught up or rise. Did you have one ass. Finally, you have two shot down in peace and still flew. And that you enjoy if you do not rival. Yes, Germans probably enjoy meetings when there is a cry from the Spitfire MkII.

A hurri caught me since i received hits and engine didnt have full power anymore.
I only flew up there since i didnt find anyonee further south.
Catching this disengaging hurri was pure luck. And sorry. 3 of them trying to pound me screamed for taking this one - even with landinggear down (he flew in almost 1k height with his gear down).
But i had fun yesterday on the server and am eager to fly there today. Somehow the reduced amount of Spits II seems to help a bit.

Understand? Maybe he just remembers what happened yesterday.

One of the key issues is player balance and no one referenced that comment in my last post. The guys running and setting up the servers have noted a problem with and without the Spit Mk2 and are trying hard to find a solution.

I went on later with only Mk1/Hurri available and Blues outnumbered Reds 5 to 1.

Its a tough call for the server admins.

Secondly, I am a Spit pilot and, like you Jamz, like to prowl at 18K+ in my preferred choice of AC. It takes a hell of a lot longer to get a Spit Mk1 to that altitude compared to a Mk2 and it performs better than a Hurri- so yes, for that reason I (and others) would prefer a Spit Mk2. If I happen to run into a BF then at least we are pretty well matched up their. Not every one wants to engage in deck furballs.

You know, I wonder what the outcry would be if a FW was accused of overperforming at Mid/Low alt and Blues were told - 'No you can't have it! You will have to staywith a BF109 E1' even though many would fly it at high Alt where it performed more or less correctly?

It's a catch 22 situation at the moment which could be solved by players picking an ac best suited to fair play and their preferred style. But thats unlikely to happen with everyone but didn't you notice some were actually choosing Mk1s and Hurri's?

The bombers are just as easily killed by a Spit, a much nicer ride at 18K+ and evenly matched.....

Hi. The number of players is a variable thing. The map planeset dont. How can you combine these two things? I think, that there are Reds, who need the performance of the Spit IIa to shoot AC but it's still unfair. Maybe they should ask this guy what he did...

If your energy levels are the same at start (there really meet, and not BnZ from a height), the 109 no chance.
