Spitfires are OP

[Fully operational death star]

Why is it these can outclimb my BF-109s, yet can also outturn me. And they aren't even much slower. Fighting these is impossible....

[FireFromBehind]

Literal skill issue. The way you fight them is simple. Dive on them. You can outclimb them pretty easly.

They also suffer in a straight line

Couldn't be further from the truth with the late spitfires atleast, I am lucky if we are both at the same altitude...

at E into F models the 109 started to hit development brick walls due to the limitations of the airframe and what engines they could fit.

The Spit did not suffer these issues, it's entirely correct that late war Spits out perform the 109

Yep they are, just don’t say anything or they’ll raise the BR of some of my favorite planes.

[Lucky_Star_Fan]

Yeah, they are. Just gotta leverage your slightly better engine power and get an altitude advantage, it's your only hope.

How does it feel to hold the Merlin engine of someone you love? Griffin.

Late spitfires are better than you in everything. double gang them

I have had more problems against BF-109s than against the spitfire

It also depends on how long you have been in the game, you notice some patterns of what a certain plane has for and against.

When flying against Spitfires in my 109's, I typically either try to outrun them or turn the fight into an energy fight rather than a straight up turn fight. 109's are pretty good at losing and gaining energy back pretty quick when flown correctly and can be used to make spitfires overshoot or stall out depending on the scenario.

You must be a really bad player! LOL.

your only hope is fighting those spits at 6000 meters high and make their energy bleed into a spiral climb maneuver, never do this if both of you had some energy, use this maneuver when he dont have enough energy to keep you, after that, do a loop and go behind him
