Well actually he is right. The first griffon powered Spitfire was the mk IV,It was the prototype mk IV then renamed to mkXX and then renamed again to mk XII. The Mk XIV was the next step on and was fitted with the same 2 stage supercharger that the Merlin Powered mk IX already had.

I'm pretty sure the Mk II's Merlin was effected by negative G's. It's disapointing that the game doesn't show this. It was one of the main things the 109 Emil was able to exploit to their advantage. In BoP the Spitfire mkII seems far better than the Emil.

Engine cut out due to fuel starvation is in the game though. It happens in the I16 and I153 almost instantly if you go into a steep dive. Its just anoying you can't get it started back up again.
