109 advice needed (climb)

[AKA_Tenn]

I just try to keep my 109 flying 430 kph, i climb out before i engage and always keep my energy, when you fly the 109 you gotta realize the british pilots want you to slow down, so you need to keep fast and high, since they can't touch you then, there's no rush to shoot them down, just take your time and wait for the right opportunity.... catch one stalled out trying to climb up to you, or catch one by itself... but never do things your enemy plane does better than yours... well in the 109's case its more like... only do the one thing your plane does well... and thats climb at high speeds... try not to climb at stall speeds, while the hurricane can't climb with you at those speeds, the spit will...

and the 109 has a really small power band... thats true, but its better to waste power than not use enough power when it comes to not wanting to get shot down... screw the environment

I love this sim but the FM...... Here's a quote from Adolf Galland taken from an interview with him regards the allied ac during the BoB.

"the Hurricane was hopeless, nice to shoot down though!"

But changes are afoot (I hope!) and spare a thought for those of us (in Spits) who are yelling ' throttle back - can't keep up with you!'

1. Galland was a damn good pilot he had it in his blood
2. Alot of the allied pilots where new and untestet in combat (which Galland wasnt).
