Did the RAF have 100 percent of their squadrens outfitted with these? allowing everyone to chose one on a server says they did. I dont mind not getting an e4 and being forced to fly and 3 or 1 if thats how it goes. Ide rather that then having everyone dominate in a superior plane. Plane restrictions is the only way to deal with this. If the next german plane is better than the 2a, restrict the crap out of it historically. Gollum

About the historical numbers:
Spitfire MK II : 750 produced(from June 1940), entry in service in August 1940with the 611th Squadron.
Messerschmitt 109E-4: 250 produced(from May 1940)
Messerschmitt 109E-4B: 211 produced(from Aug 1940)
A good number of E-3 were refitted in field as E-4s.
The E-4 make his aparition in high numbers after August 1940. Before , bulk of operations(and losses)was supported by the E-1s.
