Anyway it's clearly a defensive manouvre that sometimes saved the life of that pilot leaving your squad with one less unit in combat, resting with the enemy's decision to follow you.

It keep the pilot alive, but don't make you win the battles.
Aren't you missing the point?.......the idea was apparently the Spitfire was dangerous to spin, now if this post isn't clear evidence of the maniacal and bizarre avenues Spit critics are going.....

Serously, whats the difference between an aircraft that is out of combat because it evaded an opponent and an aircraft that is out of combat because it was shot down?.....that's right, the one that got away will fight again, just like the account winny posted.
