SIM HQ Review of CLOD

I might disagree on a couple of points that are mostly a matter of personal preference, but otherwise it's a fair and balanced review.

I thought this PP issue was put down to the Mk's and the 1 n 1a only have the 2 stage prop..could be wrong though

That's correct. This is not a bug per se, it's due to the aircraft configuration: Spit Mk.I and Ia is modeled the way it was in battle of France and not to BoB standard. Copying the same flyable model to a new slot with a new name and giving it the constant speed prop would upgrade it to BoB standard without losing our early variants that are useful for BoF scenarios.

Due to the props fitted then, comparing the Rotol Hurri to the Mk.I Spits is not very fair. Comparing the DH Hurricane that also has a two-speed prop to the Mk.I Spits would probably give a very different picture as to which is faster

Im not getting my head around this, In the Mk1 and Mk1a spit (currently in CLOD) the prop pitch setting is either '0' or '100', whereas in the hurricane rotol you can fine tune the prop pitch, is it the case that the spitty isn't bugged and is historically correct? In truth I normally fly blue but sometimes numbers dictate that I should fly red, so i am certainly no expert on the Spit, but it does seem very underpowered to me, i could be doing something wrong but there is very little to mess about with other than the radiator as the PP does nothing!! I can keep up with a 109 in a Hurri, but not a hope in hell in the spit. Any advice will be welcomed.

i personaly dont give a cent on any of the actual FMs in case of beeing "historical".
I see them as placeholders. If they will stay, i just have to get used to them - some kind of WorldOfTanks where historical performance comparisons also do not count.
