In this sim, Spitfire IIa Vmax sea level @ max boost (9 lbs indicated) = 300 mph

Yet last month in another thread I was accused of being "misleading" and a "hypocrite" for daring to suggest the IIa's performance was "slightly greater than the 109's".

Compare to the "too fast" (according to Ilya) Hurricane Rotol's Vmax sea level of 260 mph in this sim and likewise the Spitfire Ia's Vmax at sea level of 240 mph.

Spurious insults aside, the sooner ALL FM's for both sides are fixed, the better. A hotfix patch should have been issued a year ago to correct this.
Not sure what your talking to me about, I'm a 109 driver and know very little about the spit's, other than that the IIa is a much better all around aircraft in this sim.
I do know that the 109 at 1.42ata at ~1000m should be in the area of 490-500kph.

Wasn't the MkII spit only like 7 mph faster than its predecessor, due to weight of additional components sapping away the new found power?
