A Spit II ambushed me last night at 6k meters - took out my radiators. I dived as way as fast as I could (close to the red mark) after a few wide circles, then I floored and hugged the terrain as low as I could to hide. I got away and landed back home.
So yeah, without height and surprise, 109 can't go against the Spits (even Hurris) - the problem is that every one is on the deck and it's hard to spot planes on the ground.
When the Spits were vulchering above the German fields, I was a sitting duck. There just wasn't enough time to gain enough height and energy. Any slight energy gained is then wasted when the Spit is on my tail again.
