Lads I think ultimately this is all redundant in the "real world", as last night there were about even numbers of red and blue on, the reds certainly weren't slaying the blues in their 5 spitII's - ultimately it all works out. Remember, no matter how good the spitII is, it still has machineguns - so red have to get multiple hits to bring down a 109.
A well driven 109 can destroy a spit in a single pass, no matter what model it is. Blue have had it good for ages, always being able to outclimb or dive away from spitI's and hurries, not to mention having cannons.
ATAG have mixed things up a bit by adding spitIIs - just watch the stats, we aren't seeing all the spitII pilots with 10 kills and no deaths because there is so much more to dogfighting - position, E, pilot skill, teamwork and just luck all play a factor. I say if you get shot down, ask yourself how much the plane was to blame vs what you did right/wrong. I know as a red pilot, I can always find something I should have done better.
If you can't get kills in a 109 because you think the spitIIs are too awesome, maybe you need to go back to flight school, as you were clearly too dependent on the advantages you used to have in your plane, and in fact you need to become a better pilot!
