Having a hard time outclimbing Spits/Hurris above 5k? Solution?

[TomcatViP]

Actually if the Spitfire have a slighter higher ceiling than the 109 it's not so bad.

Otherwise BlackDog said it.

~S!

Only managed 7000m of altitude in the 109 before it becomes unstable and wants to fall. Anyone else have any results?

Offline or online? Online I got barely to 7000 m.

Regarding the original question:
hmm I just did a quick google search, so my knowledge isn't really in-depth, but:
Shouldn't it be that way, at least for spit vs. 109?

[Blackdog_kt]

Depends on many things but generally speaking, the Spit had a better climb rate but the 109 had a steeper climb angle.

In simple terms the Spit will climb faster, but it won't be able to pull the nose so far up and hang on its prop so long the way the 109 can.
