I dont understand your sarcasm:
1) is too stable - Maybe. I have no opinion, i don't know the tests (ok, i know, it's not a criteria in this forum
)
1) is too easy to bring sights to bear on target - All small caliber is stable. Other question the gun inaccuracy, which terrible worse in all planes imho.
1) won't enter into a vicious accelerated stall & spin and destroy aircraft - Who want such a thing? I don't even understand which maneuver you describe
1) rolls too quickly in a dive above 400 mph IAS - true
1) shows no sign of deceleration with open canopy - True, and you forgot the cooling flaps too. This is a general problem, not just the Spit
1) employs "sonar" when canopy is open - True. This is a general problem (G.50, 109 without canopy, etc.).
1) neg g cutout does not occur quickly enough with the latest beta - Maybe. It slightly reduced, but i can't measure accurate values.
1) quick engagement of elevator control at speed will not over stress and destroy aircraft - True, but it is a general problem, not only the Spit.
1) wings absorb far too much cannon shell punishment - I think it's rather question of the gun inaccuracy.
1) IIa is 60 mph too fast ....oops, not any more! - It was overmodelled, or not?
1) flying a Spitfire forces one to use bad tactics and no TS teamwork - Irrelevant
1) lands and takes off far too easily - Irrelevant. Depends mostly on the Pilot.
1) prolonged inverted flying doesn't cause oil sump to run instantly dry and destroy aircraft - True. But –again– it is a general bug, the DB was banned for inverted flight too (because of lubrication system).
1) engine cutout doesn't cause CSP to go fine pitch, over rev engine, and destroy aircraft - It was an example of this? I never see any. I do not like the favorite opinion, that "the operating instructions only for girls, the real man push the crap out from the plane, anyway, the merlin survive everything".
