luthier, the historical performance btw 109/spitfire/huricane is NOT simulated in CoD

Can the Bf109 decide whether they want battle under their terms or not?
In real life: NO! (this is how Goering screwed them up)]In the game: YES! Because if I am high, I will decide when and where to engage, otherwise I just disengage and go away. Even if I engage, I can always chose to disengage, climb and get away from the battle.
If I stay low, I die (it is an option but it is still my decision)

Do you think that regarding the actual performance or tactics deployed (e.g. RAF time needed to scramble and outclimb the enemy approaching?)

Ataros - that all depends on the airscrew and fuel used. de Havilland CSP with 87 octane fuel, armoured windscreen achieved 288mph at S.L. (R.6774), +6.25lbs, 3000rpm. Spitfires were considerably faster below FTH with 100 octane fuel, doing some 10mph more than Emil at the S.L. We would need to know what configuration are the devs aiming to reproduce in the sim.

Let's wait for the patch, we'll see. Imho there is no reason to compare the real BoB and the game regarding tactics as the conditions are way too different.
