It is so difficult to bring her down with it's capacity to make very advanced barrelrolls, but flying her and to get a kill is so difficult in combination with the engine stuttering because they were only with a carburettor. (Which is the major disadvantage thing of all Merlin equipped british AC)

There's a video out there somewhere of a pilot doing a downward, inverted loop in the spitfire. By this I mean starting level and pushing the nose forward, pushing negative G's the entire way, and then coming up around again from the bottom.

In the spitfire.

The carburettor "issues" really don't affect it very much at all.
