surely you really mean to say the Spitfire will simply loose some ground, but it will without doubt still be able to turn.........some of these theories are getting bizarre.

no mate he means (i think if i got it right) turning without loosing speed. any spit pilot can turn and loose a EA on his tale in clod but will loose speed instantly. he is talkign about going into a turn and keeping the turn without loosing speed. which isnt that bigger deal imo

this isnt all bad for the spit tho as this can be used so the plane behind overshoots and misses, i.e turning inside his turn so he cant get guns on you. puts you out of the fight but also keeps you alive, at least a while.
a 109 couldnt do this to a spit, this is why you go into a fight with a 109 always with higher energy or dont bother at all, so you can afford to loose that speed.

Oh crap, sorry......I somehow saw Crumpps avatar and your post, I honestly had no idea I replied to someone else, my most sincere appologies.....I think it's because it was quoting the same post by me.
