Yes but the Gladiator cutting the tail of that Br20 really confused me: according to the power of these 0.303s (again: "realistic gunnery OFF" right?) if you make the 20mm more powerful you would need 2 hits to obliterate a Blenheim..

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
