Yeah, communication with your partner has got to be key in 2v2. As for the big furballs, I suppose I'll just keep practicing.

It seems like the BF's hit harder, but the Spit is much more manuverable. How much less turning ability are we talking about here, because I certainly wouldn't want to get to the point of a BF, because I don't hit as hard.

I still dont know wich one I preffer, the spit XVI or IX.
I think im going with the IX.
The advantage of the IX over the XVI is its turn radius. The IX turns just slightly better.
The XVI has a bit more gunpower, and a better roll rate. But since most fights are turning fights (until the fix comes and blackouts show up), I choose the IX most of the time.

As far as top speed, I'm not sure, but I felt the XVI being a bit better low to the ground, and the IX more an allround performer.

Just try to find friendlies when you are in trouble, and hopefully they will hit your enemy. just 1 hit can get him off your tail

To answer you question about the spit and bf109. yes the bf109 has a bit more firepower. But I would swap that for more manouvrability any day. How much less agility are we talking about? well, when I get a head on with a bf109, when im in a spit ix, I will be on the bf109's six within 10 seconds. If the 109 is an ace, it might take a bit longer, but it will happen. in my eyes, the bf109 are easy meat, unless it is a G-6! Damn im afraid of those guns . And a good pilot in a K4 will be able to outrun your spit if he plays it well

Good luck flying mate , dont put too much hope in the XVI, it will not do more good than the IX imho

EDIT: did you adjust your elevator sensitivity? when flying the IX I like to put it 4 or 5 clicks down. When flying the XVI 5 or 6. maybe it helps
