Spit IIa is now so much more inferior to the 109

[gimpy117]

I don't agree when we say the Spit is worse. It sure as heck isn't. I caught a Spit down low and toyed with an ME-109 for a good while untill he yo-yo'ed me. I decided to loop around and to to find where he was. unfortunately he got off a very small burst that seemed to get my roll controls somewhere. I just broke off, let a buddy deal with him as he was pretty shot up and I was guns dry...and used my rudder to induce roll to get home.

So really, He who has E wins. And if you catch an ME-109 Down low (which happens often) it's his funeral. The only huge advantage I can tell the ME-109 has is those 20mm cannon that can shred you pretty fast.

The Spit if anything still retains energy really, really well in turns and such. The only reason it's not cleaning house is because ME-109 pilots aren't playing their game (or at least the patient ones) and son't get into a turn fight where the spit will just about enter at the same speed it came out of the turn.

Spit is only worse if you are one of the noobs flying around on the deck, turning circles kicking up dust.

My wingman and I confronted some Spitfires up high over England two nights ago and they were extremely formidable.

Can we please put this tired topic to rest?

Good pilots are good pilots for sure Doggles, and I class myself as a distinctly avarage pilot at best! The issue though is caused by the fact that this a simulator designed to model the battle of Britain which was fought with Hurricanes and Spitfires (both 1 and 2s) all modified for 100 octane fuel. What we have are planes that are not the ones that fought this battle. Whatever the standard of pilot is not really relevant here, the reds are flying the wrong planes for the BoB. Of course people are annoyed, and with the game in a state of flux at the moment those people want to bring the subject to the attention of as many people as possible, in the vain hope that the devs will acknowledge and correct this glaring historical error.

Performacne of british fighters in Clod now not even match historical performacne of these planes at 87 octan fuel not mention 100 octan fuel boost

Ok

Again the 100 octane is getting into every thread lately no matter what the subject matter is.

You guys are going around in circles with it, please keep it all in one place at least, it's looking like spam with the same data copy and pasted everywhere.

I re-opened the performance data thread for sensible factual data discussion last week, after a cooling off period, it looks like it's back on track for now.
