in a fit of frustration uttered the famous passage to Göring "I should like an outfit of Spitfires for my Squadron".

Hmm, maybe he used the "it's the plane, not the pilots nor tactics" excuse.

After all by whining to Göring he had a chance to influence Hitler regarding resources used to research & development of better planes.

Perhaps he should of just joined Rudolf Hess in that 110 and flew to England for peace talks...

S!

A very nice update thread from developers turned into a bickering fest with mud sling..once again. Can't you guys just wait for the patch and then compare the changes etc. I for sure wait for it and ready for testing with fellow virtual pilots.

Aye, it was a great update about everyone has been waiting for. Thus should be celebrated instead of whined on since after the patch IL-2 should be much better game and simulation.

Best just to read the first ten pages or so of an update thread.
Ignore list is your friend.

He said it to wind up Goering who was being an arse to his squadron. This is in his book "The First and the Last", and in the same paragraph he also said that of course he preferred the 109 to the Spitfire.

There's plenty of test data about turning circles to demonstrate that the Spitfire and Hurricane both out turned the 109 comfortably, not to mention the wing loading. I can't believe anybody would think otherwise tbh. You don't hear Spitfire pilots going on about how the Spitfire could outclimb the 109 do you? Despite the existence of many reports about Spitfire pilots catching up 109's in the climb and shooting them down.

After all, which of the two aircraft actually had a better performance? Analyzing the Dogfight itself and say that both acrfts also flown by experienced pilots.


Bf 109 or Spit? which was more shot down?
