If this game ever models the BoB spitfires and hurricanes correctly i predict the same thing will happen as happened in Il2- far fewer will fly for blue as they will complain the spitfires are too good at dogfighting, and they will be labelled 'noob' planes!
I'm fine with that- i used to fly a lot on the Skies of Fire server and would frequently have to fly blue to even up the maps. Avoiding any turn-fighting and never engaging a Spitfire unless you had an 'E' advantage were critical.

I'm okay with that as too few people fly these planes the way they were historically- Galland stated in his book 'The First to the Last' that the '... Me109 was superior in the attack and not so suitable for purely defensive purposes as the Spitfire, which although a little slower, was much more maneuverable'. He then went on to make the famous request of Goring to be given a flight of Spitfires.
