Not sure I have one really...just seems different here and the battle has been going on longer than some real wars.
"Us"... define it please. I'm against the concept of "flight simmers community".

Look at the the stats here (only 20 guys actually answered to the questions, thanks guys!)

"Us" who?

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
