from this much data impossible (unfair) to compare, that which one the better dogfighter. The values are wrong anyway (top speeds).

AND not a word about the
- boost time (60 seconds vs infinite)
- climbing ability
- climb speed
- acceleration
- agility
- etc.

My experience is when flying the Bf usually do not have a problem down Spit MkI or Hurra. When flying in a Spitfire MKI or Hurry is much worse down Bf. The Spit MkII no problem to shoot down everything that is in the air. :) But it is the pilot.In a faster plane can do more mistakes and you know that you will survive.

I was looking in the manual, but i dont find the 20 minutes. I can not remember where I read then. Ok, might be not 20 minutes, but I certainly know that you using many times in a row, the engine is damaged.
It is also interesting that the 20% increase of engine power, why increase the towing force only with 6%... :rolleyes: It is very low the propeller efficiency, which was counted...

Yup using WEP constantly will ruin your engine in the 109.. Its very hard to Dmg yer engine in the Spit unless your Rad is not open enough

If you enable boost in a MK1 you get 0.002Ibs extra (nothing!) but leave it on for too long and manifold pressure fails......it's all backwards!

LOL I have flown in the Hurri less than 5 times online, all my kills in red (and i have a fair few) were got using the spit mk1a its a bloody brilliant aircraft if you know how to fly it and take into account the screwed up FM.

You do not know Tom. I have never destroyed even when I hooked up often in a row. You cry and do not even know their aircraft. :!:

How much was the manifold pressure and the engine rpm?

Spit I has its chances. It turns better than the 109. If the 109 pilot doesnt use his strengths and gets involved in a dogfight hes dead meat.

You guys dont seem to get it. Fighting a Spit IIa in a 109 you are blue dead meat no matter what you do - given pilots on even skill level.
Thats my point.

While a Ia or a hurri with a good pilot not necessarily looses against a 109.
And btw. i would not get any satisfaction from a kill achieved in an ufo. Thats why i dont fly them.

Winger..

Do you feel like your flogging a dead horse here?
