I was really surprised by the bf110's performance yesterday. I could not catch this guy with a Spit 1a. I was thinking maybe I haven't calibrated my throttle correctly but when I checked it did go to 100 %. Even in a dive where my Spit was creaking with strain I had trouble closing in fast.
Every time I was just about to catch up he'd dive a little and then extend off again. I was very impressed but surely that's not historically accurate?
and I wasn't getting suckered into neg G cut-outs or anything.
