Blue pilots had the opportunity to learn in 10 years of IL2... flying a truck called Fw190, provided with ridiculous gunsights and gas tanks, against anti-G planes who didn't overheat and could lose oil for more than 10 minute (I'm not talking only about Spitfires, of course... do you know the old P39?)
They had the opportunity to learn teamwork tactics and to be patient, otherwise they would be fresh meat...
Don't worry, one day they will model the 100octane version and I'm sure nobody will say a thing against... provided that it's modelled as a real plane and not as anti-G machine like the Oleg's planes...
Be sure, SpitIIs were/are/will be not a problem until they are not flown in the correct way.
Just for your knowledge the last time I've flown alone in CloD I found myself against a Spit a 5000km over the channel... he tried an headon (a stupid manouvre I say), he made a 180° flat turn while I was trying an Immelmann turn that I failed to complete because on my lack of experience on CloD planes.
So I was in disadvantage and I've started a gentle dive for my territory... the guy followed me gaining as I was keeping my speed very high (probably a SpitII but who cares?)... he followed me over my home base, down at 1km where two other 109s helped me so that I could take him down.
Simply that was a moron.
Now I'm really getting frightened that this uprising for the 100octane Spitfire
as priority, historical or not, it's only to kill the enemy without difficulties... since it's easier to stick you nose on someone 6 gaining on him instead of to lose time in learning tactics and teamwork.
