Suddenly Spit IIa on all the servers?

A lot of this fair play argument is all to do with altitude and many players tendency to engage at low alt.

If you read the Autobiographies of many of the Pilots who flew the Spits, during and after the BoB, you get a better sense of what each of these ac were capable of.

Discipline was a key factor for pilots on both sides. In many accounts, Spit Pilots would see the BFs above them. If the numbers were evenly matched and the BF pilots thought they had no elemenent of suprise they would refrain from dropping down to engage. The BF Pilot knew where and under what circumstances he had the edge....at Altitude or by suprise and were disciplined to engage when they had the advantage of both.

The BFs currently modelled have better engine performance than the Spit Mk2 at 18K+. Most of the ac have problems with FM and that is where the argument lies.

If one day CloD goes Eastern Front with Yaks.......?

I watched Klem and Stryker (Klem will know the player? ) engage in a mock combat (BF v Spit2) at around 20K, Co E, to assess both. They seemed evenly matched but maybe Klem will give his conclusions. Even with Ventrillo comms I had real problems keeping eyes on both because of the separation as they were split-assing at very high speeds.
