I've not voted for the 100 octane bug as a priority since I hope that meanwhile the overall quality of the RAF players can improve, since it's so boring to hunt guys running circles at 1km that most of my squadmates are not flying in public servers anymore.

There are some great Spitfire pilots out there: IMO many should learn from them without thinking to the actual speed performances of their plane.

Attacking with altitude advantage is only the first step...
Well, many of us have had over a year "to train [ourselves] on being successful", then with the latest patch we suddenly have the enhanced opportunity to become even MORE "successful" -- with the RAF fighter FM's getting further nerfed.

As many Blue 109 pilots say: "It's the pilot, not the plane." Well, until the pre-patch Spitfire IIa's were rolled out. Suddenly those Blue pilots weren't saying that anymore! LOL

None of the fighters, LW or RAF, have accurate flight modelling at present. The two that actually came closest, the pre-patch Spitfire IIa and Hurricane Rotol, were penalized because of their relative performance at the time to the 109's inaccurate FM. Go figure: a "coding optimization" patch also managed to slip in FM changes detrimental to the RAF fighters.

No recognition by 1C was given to the 12 lbs boost/100 octane issue with the Spit Ia and Hurri Rotol. It's a shame. The Blue pilots are being denied the "opportunity to be more successful" and are saddled with B&Z impunity over RAF fighters.
