So that evens the score

And as I fly a lot with Spits I killed a lot of my kites by getting too close loosing wings and stuff (I posted some pictures on the sturmo forum as you might have notived - or not, Snafu). Now as I currently switch to the 109 I do less collisions as I am now more proficient with the CoD FM.

Perhaps this might be the cause of your observation.

Another cause may be that distance seems to be different making Spitties believe that they are too close while they are not.

My impression however is that like IL2 the slower planes usually wins the collision fight.
