Spit IIa is now so much more inferior to the 109

The Spit is a lovely fantastic AC but the 109 is very special hence why it was never changed and see so much service

Spitfire was still produced in 1948. I'd say that was a lot of service.

The phrase I quoted: Spitfire is lovely but 109 is special because it saw a lot of service.

So did the spit don't see why you seem to imply the 109 was "never changed".

Both the 109 and spit were constantly changed which is precisely why they had the saw so much service, keeping ahead/in line with the new aircraft.

Whiskey - Tango - Foxtrott?

Why do I get the "entitlement vibe" from some of the hardcore-RAF types here? Wakeup call people - CloD is not supposed to model the outcome of the historical BoB, it's supposed to model accurate performance figures. Introducing 100oc fuel isn't going to be the magic potion that allows RAF players to take on the whole Luftwaffe on their own, win single-handedly and shoot down evil Nazi aircraft by giving them a stern glare. (please note the dripping sarcasm here)

I can't shake the impression that some of you people - on both sides - make way too much noise about performance intricacies. Wakeup call number two - aerial warfare was never ever about duels between individuals and always about teamwork to achieve specific goals. If people would get over that god awful dogfight-contest-e-sports fixation and focused more on historical mission setups with appropriate team tasks these pointless bickering over FM intricacies would cease. But then some folks seem to be hell-bent on either re-fighting WW2 (if they aren't still fighting it) or about proving just what kind of super-duper great egomaniac they are.

PS: Yes, I do fly blue. But I focus on the Stuka so speed isn't an issue for me. The Stuka has none.
