Well, I didn't find much on Bf-109 defensive tactics, so here we are.
Every online map seems to have a nice selection of Spits for the 69th and others to choose from, and a nice set of Bf-109s for us thrillseekers to choose from as well...
The Bf-109 is basically an intercept (B&Z) fighter, and not much of what people would think of a "dogfighting" plane, since only a few models can actually turn decently.
Now, the question on all our minds:
What do we do when Mr. Needacar ( :wink: ) catches us at a bad time (say, 2,500ft. and less than 200mph)?
You can't really expect to turn away from the Spit, or outrun them since they already has the advantage there. Zooming vertical doesn't help in the least, either...
I don't believe that the Spitfire is the ultimate WWII fighter, every plane has strengths and weaknesses (the Spitfire has more strengths :mrgreen: ), and they can be exploited to your advantage.
So, if anyone here who has much more experience than myself (which isn't hard to exceed) in the good ol' Bf-109s, please share your tactics and strategies.
