Spit IIa is now so much more inferior to the 109

Dont belive everything you read in books

I belive more in real life test data then story in books

Spent most of my time with Alpha issues rather than FM. I can usually out turn any 109 but last night (in the Spit2a) a pair of 109's matched my turns and found my self on the edge. May be its a problem with the revised throttle management and speed. Not sure yet so will try the 1a in case this is specific to the Spit 2a. Trim is better, Mk1's altitude speed better - throttle is porked, and landing friction is on par with Ice even on a 85mph verge of stalling touch down. Whatever, still my preferred choice and just have to get used to any 'quirks'.

Just read your post Blackdog, I stick to high alt but it's very quiet except for the occaisional 109 and usually they are pretty damned good. I think Krupi followed me down in his 109 as I was RTB to Hawkinge (in a 1a) and it performed pretty well at low alt but for me, low alt furballs are the quickest way to gain altitude - to a vacant cloud and a golden Harp lol! Game Performance is so much better at altitude as well.....
