Spit IIa is now so much more inferior to the 109

[robtek]

Regarding to the topic,
yesterday i flew the spit 2 on the ATAG server and it was absolutely no problem for me to follow a few 109's across the channel and to get into firing range (150 yds) as soon as they left the straight flight path.

My IAS was 280 to 290 mph with +8 lbs boost at 2650 rpm at a altitude around 1000 ft.

It was also no problem in the dogfight to turn behind a 109 coming from above, attacking another plane, follow in a shallow dive and to intercept and follow it on its way back up and getting a firing solution on the apogee.

My summary is, that even with the less then perfect FM's the spitfire 2 is a matching adversary for the BF109E4 (which the majority of the enemy was flying)
