    I was on a server last night that had this matchup. I was on the blue side with a friend of mine, and we were flying the Emils. Two on the other side were coming at us with Spits. Now, I consider myself a pretty damn good pilot, but this was rediculous, we were completley owned. It was like I was in a Pinto and was tryin to get away from a Porsche. I left the server after the third splash.

    Are you venting?

    Fighting spits ends bad for most of LW pilots.Those average like me can only do something when bigger in numbers.

    Most of the time I survive if I can limp back to base.

    Very irritating and humiliating.

    The Spits are bloody good aren't they?

    I fly mostly 109's and pretty much exclusively Blue side, but this a.m. I was on warclouds and for a change Red was outnumbered so I flew a Spit (the lX mind you) and boy did I have a field day. Even outnumbered 2 or 3 to one and it was easy to elude, track and kill - even for a cr*p pilot like me.

    The '41 Spit is faster, more manuverable and better armed than any of the Emils. A better matchup would have been a F-2 or F-4 vs Spit Vb.

    Can you post a track bamatt?,spits can be dangerous,I usally just throttle down and dive if i get in trouble, they usually wont try and follow you, personally as a 109 piloT I PREFER TO ENGANGE p-51s more so than the spit,lol at this stage i think its more a psych thing than the actual aircraft,plus that radiator that never overheats and an uber top speed helps those limeys also

    What Korolov said.

    A Spitfire I or II would make a suitable contempory opponent against FB's Emils. In the mean time, how about a Hurricane II?

    "As weaponry, both were good, but in far different ways from each other. In a nutshell, I describe it this way: if the FW 190 was a sabre, the 109 was a florett, or foil, like that used in the precision art of fencing." - Günther Rall

    BnZ your heart out. Dive whenever possible. Only attack when you have the advantage, otherwise veer away. The 41 Spit is superior in many aspects to the 109E. You're better off not taking chances in it. Only attack when you know you'll win.

    lol. U really do not stand any real chance in Bf109E series vs. M.K.Vb. They are really superior even when flown by an average skilled pilot.
