I don't agree when we say the Spit is worse. It sure as heck isn't. I caught a Spit down low and toyed with an ME-109 for a good while untill he yo-yo'ed me. I decided to loop around and to to find where he was. unfortunately he got off a very small burst that seemed to get my roll controls somewhere. I just broke off, let a buddy deal with him as he was pretty shot up and I was guns dry...and used my rudder to induce roll to get home.
So really, He who has E wins. And if you catch an ME-109 Down low (which happens often) it's his funeral. The only huge advantage I can tell the ME-109 has is those 20mm cannon that can shred you pretty fast.
The Spit if anything still retains energy really, really well in turns and such. The only reason it's not cleaning house is because ME-109 pilots aren't playing their game (or at least the patient ones) and son't get into a turn fight where the spit will just about enter at the same speed it came out of the turn.
