With the correct FMs? The Spitfire for straight dogfighting. It was better at that than the 109 except for the combat bunt. Of course the 109s didn't dogfight very much and played to their strengths of high numbers, high energy tactics and more powerful guns. But if they tried to dogfight it was a different story.

As the FMs are at the moment? The Rotol Hurri and 109s are a trade off for me, partly of 'loyalty'. Hurri for maneouverability, 109 for climb, guns and simple engine management. I fly RAF so for me its the Hurricane but the 109 is probably the better choice as they are currently modelled or even when they are properly modelled (the Merlin negative G is still way too sensitive for reasonable maneouvres, leaving out the combat bunt). The Spitfire II would probably be most peoples favourite if they put 'loyalty' aside simply because its the only Spitfire modelled near correctly while the 109s aren't (if these forums are correct). The Spitfire Is power and speed are almost laughable although handling seems to be quite good.
