C'mon guys, get over it!!!!
1 vs 1 is bad news I agree. So, don't!
I got killed a lot of times in a Spit II vs three Bf109.
Yesterday, I think I shot 2-3 SpitII flying solo in my Bf109.
There is nothing more, nothing less.
And so many posts for 5 planes (which get vulched mercilesly 90% of the time before take off) it not worth it!
my 2cents...

It is hilarious. I was online on Sunday and it was about 20 vs 20. 14, yes 14, of the 109's were E4's and 4 were E3's. Only 2 E1's. Funny, I don't remember seeing any historical accuracy complaints about that.
For the record I have not read of one incident from WW2 where the 109 could hang on 45 degrees from CO-e and watch the Spitfire fall away helplessly. In actual fact the opposite is more likely true given that the standard escape for a Spitfire was a steep climbing turn.
I trust therefore that we won't hear any complaints when you can no longer use this tactic.
