I must admit, the IIa really doesn't lose much when climbing, but only if you have a good amount of speed going into it. I still prefer flying the Ia though, I think, because it's a more enjoyable flight experience. More thought goes into the operation of the plane and I get a sense of accomplishment from that. It's tough, though. Wrestling with speed, heat, enemies, prop rpm, and even mixture if I'm high enough is a lot to handle. And you 109s don't make it any easier!
