What everyone is forgetting is that the Mk-1 spit had a wooden Watts propellor what we see in the game is a three bladed spit, the wooden Watts constant speed propellor was desigend for high speed at altitude, it had a huge, for it's version and compared to other versions, take off run. The De-Havilland propellor cut that take off run by at least a third and rotol variable cut that again by half (I have done numerous testings with the A2A sims Accusim Spit and it stands up to all accounts). The Spit II should not dominate at height and neither should the Hurricane or for that matter the E-Mil most of the time it'll depend on the pilot. The first Spit to fully outmatch the E-Mill was the Mk V and that was because of the abilty to dive full down, without the half solution that was Mrs. Shillings oriface, which on the Mk-1's (Type 300) and Mk-2's (Type 329) of most of 1940 had yet to be fitted. So if your flying to dive away from a Spit of whatever mark and you're being caught you're not diving right, the Spit pilot HAS in these two MARKS to roll over first and then dive and counter roll in said dive to catch you, a lot going there and a lot of vital seconds to getaway for the E-Mill pilot. Chop throttle and prop pitch if you're going fast enough 300-395 you'll not pop a casket or burn the engine and you CAN do 2000 mtr dive with no bother level out maintain your speed and no bugger on the map will catch you unless he's in an E-Mill ......................... I've yet to be caught by a spit using this maneouver.
