    After some reading at this forum, i see alot of pepole complaining about the spitfire's turn performance.

    Sustained turn: This comes up very often, complaining about spits not bleeding energy in turns....... IRL Spits was known for its turning abilty, it performed very well in sustained turn and was capable of very tight turns.

    I have also seen some complaing about the spits climb rate, but not so much as turing performance.
    Has anyone tested the spit 9 from 0-10000ft.
    IRL the spit ix performed 0-10000ft in 2min15sec loaded.
    Can somone please test that in game?
    I cant because my computer dont work at the moment.

    I belive pepole complaining because maybe the spit performs better than theirs favorite aircraft?

    You need to support your claims with evidence!
    What do you mean by "loaded" ? How much weight?
    Which angle, which throttle setting?

    Do you have a source for this? <> edit, we posted at the same time

    Aso, energy bleeding is different from "being able to make tight turns", and also quite dificult to test in game.

    I have talked to pilots who flew them under WW2 and some pilots from OFMC. Nigel Lamb and Lee Proudfoot.
    I have also read much in books.

    yeah there was a patch when it turned bad

    plus if u have the wobbles, it handles really bad, so do yaks, and later zeros..
