Spit IIa is now so much more inferior to the 109

The bolded part is not entirely true.

A good Spit pilot will enter the fight with energy advantage and will energy fight.

If he fail to kill the enemy until the energy states are equal (that's not easy: the 109 climbs better BUT he has to lose energy turning hard to avoid the Spit's high speed attacks) then he can turn too.. only in that case the quality of the 109's pilot matter.

TnB will always make you bleed energy and you will have to lose altitude to keep speed.

So the Spit's pilot should always try to kill the enemy in BnZ, ambushing it, like Johnnie Johnson did when he received his SpitIX.

You may turn fight but it's not mandatory. I like to say it the last thing to do.

I will post the video of a friend and I flying together comparing the 109 and Spit climb rates, needless to say the 109 walks away from the SPIT IIa like its standing still in a climb.


I really have to laugh when the RAF aircraft have been gutted and yet you cry for more nerfing, but yet also cry for more performance out your "unbiased" 109. Yet you offer no numbers, facts, or concrete evidence of the fact that SPIT's are superior.

But a good 109 and a good Spit, The Spit fire is doomed, speed is life. The Spit cant run away, or disengage a Z & B. If a 109 messes up he just runs for home. NO SPIT can catch a 109 in a FLAT out drag race.

+1 Hooves - exactly my original point. The fm is fundamentally biased towards the 109, and imo it's killing the game.

I have no probs fighting 109's in spit 2 as long as i follow simple rules.

1 dont fight one if they have advantage( thats why they call it advantage)
2 get them down low, where the boost counts
3 when in a turning flight fly on the very edge of stalling until on his 6.
4 if a 109 climbs away, let him , go somehere else if he has speed and you cant follow. They usually try to chase if you . Get them in a turning fight then they are at your mercy
5 if they try to run at low level, chase them. You csn catch them most of the time if energies are equal( depending on skill of pilot)
