Your points on the fuel system and superior diving match what I've read, but I'm not so sure about climb rates. Where are you getting the data from? According to wwiiaircraftperformance.org (and I have no idea how accurate it is, but a few here have pointed to it) the BoB Spits are faster than the 109s and climb at least as well:
http://www.spitfireperformance.com/spit1vrs109e.html
on that page the climb rate is shown as about the same for the standard MkI Spit, and I assume the 12lb boost model would be a lot better. Speed wise the standard Spit is slower at many altitudes, but at it's optimal altitude the Spit is faster. The 12lb boost Spit is faster than the 109s at all altitudes.

I'm not suggesting that information is definitive, feel free to post any other relevant information.

Germany had a quantity 'number of aircraft far superior to the British.
Germany in those conditions, the winning ratio was 60 to 40 will
.
british for my opinion have good luck in battle of brittain and germany not use massive and total 100% powers.

german loses were high because of radar
in game will be same

english tactics is use radar instruments patrol area 24h to 24h and escort england convoy german have the 1 canche for destroy ENGALND massive surprise attak to LONDON but this attak failed because German use only areal force if germany use areal force+navy force+earth force the course of war for my opinon is different.

They'd have lost quicker. Britain had a larger Navy than Germany, biggest in the World I think. Trying to transport troups across the chanel with a fully functional RAF would have been disasterous.

No sh1t, really?
What do you think BoB was about?

(btw, even if they managed to destroy London, which was impossible, they still couldn't land.
Or are you suggesting they should have landed in London?)

Most Germans loses were Bomber aircraft badly escorted by fighter lacking of fuel endurance. Obviously, radar helped, British could concentrate their attacks in defenseless germans bombers. But when fighter gone against fighter the fight was very well matched, not the Turkey shot some were saying. It ll be not surprise if many just not come home crash landing in the Channel by no fuel, not destroyed by RAF.

If we consider Africa and Malta were the conditions were much more equal the Luftwaffe had the edge. At Afrika and Malta the 109 performed better than the spitfire. After USAAF and massive long range fighters take the edge.
