I measured the time it took for them to travel 20 km and I checked their speed gaugets (AI on).
Thank you MusseMus, that is very interesting!

In previous speed tests I put in the phrase that these comparisons were only valid if a 109 and Spit flying side by side showed the same speeds on their gauges. From your tests it looks like the answer is no! From flying in ATAG it is clear that 109s show a large speed advantage at all alts but perhaps not as much as the gayges suggest
