Thanks for providing that documentation to bolster my comments.

Of course the Spitfire's capability of entering a spin off a high speed stall has nothing to do with the 109's slats.

However, I guess this thread has established two things which are incorrectly modelled in the game:

1) The 109's tendency to enter spins easily and the tendency for recovery from spins to be difficult.

2) The lack of modelling of the Spitfire's pre-stall buffeting.

The game Spitfire will clearly enter a spin out of a high speed stall through the path of a flick onto its back.
