109 cant do XXXX anymore.

[Winger]

Well, now we have what i expected from day one. A 109 that cant do XXXX against spitfires. Even Spitfire Ias. Pre patch it was able to outclimb the spit by a good margin therefore compensated for its sucky turnrate. now i can hardly outclimb and hardly outspeed a spitfire 1 in my 109 not even with perfect pitch management. GOOD job now the game is TOTALLY dead for me! Well done!

What altitude are you trying at?

Winger it was me you were scrapping with.

Believe me when I say

a) You were outclimbing me .

b) You were out-running me.

And this was after I had repeatedly hit your 109, white stuff trailing from each radiator, and at one point I had set your wing-tip on fire....despite all this I was still being left behind!

So from where I was sitting it wasn't a lack of performance from the 109 that brought you down.....it was the fact that each time you tried diving/extending/climbing you came into the range of my guns and got hit. That's not the plane's fault.

With that said, have a look at this post I made yesterday....

So, I'm flying a 109 online an hour ago.

I happen upon a Hurricane. Both of us are roughly co-E so I gently straighten out, nudge the revs to 2500 and begin a 260kph climb. At this point I am outside his of guns range so i'm not particularly concerned; I can continue to extend for a bit and decide what to do.

Imagine my surprise, then, when I find the Hurricane slowly but inexorably gaining on me.

Why?

Anyone else had this happen?

I am afraid it is the pilot.

Hi lixma, I enjoyed the 2 dogfights with you earlier, great fun and great flying. S!

hahah Winger...maybe you was talking about DRI?

Well how do you know that 109E should be faster and better climber then Spit MK1?

I think rather that SPitfire MK1 (100 octan fuel) at low to medium alts was faster plane and with similar climb rate at emergency power.

We have emergency power?

Just to add on diving; coarse pitch is preferable or the engine might overheat in an extended highspeed dive.
