May be two or more players could agree to test the 109 v Spit on a server - find a quiet part of the map and be on the same TS channel.
It would be interesting to see the results of such a test for the CloD 109/Spits but, for the results to be meaningful, the players would have to be completely impartial.

That's a great idea, Evangelus. I recuse myself since no one would believe me to be impartial, and also because I have very little stick time in the 109 to do it justice.
I myself am doubtful as to the accuracy of the RAE's findings with the 109. No slight to the RAE intended, but they were using a captured 109 without benefit of factory techs (AFAIK), specialized factory tools, etc. The statement that the Spitfire easily matched the 109 in a dive raised my eyebrows -- was this indeed a 109 in as-new shape in proper tune and fitting?
I'd be very interested to hear the findings and impressions of all flyers concerned.
