Generally when I'm caught low by a spit Mk.IX flying my G-6 I'm screwed :? But what I usually do is fly really, really, REALLY low. I go flat out with rads closed jerking my aircraft around trees, down behing buildings etc. whenewer out of sight I turn in a direction that I think will fool my chaser. I take big risks! sometimes the spit gives up the chase or crash. I try to newer fly straight nor make any maneuvers that bleed exessive speed and run to the nearest "flak" area to get help).
If you got balls you might want to try this maneuver.
Roll and turn your me109G-6 to loose speed and make the spit get closer (don't get hit :wink: ). At around 400km/h level out and pretend your running away, bank the me109 from side to side but don't turn (don't go to fast but use 110% throttle). Next apply some upp trim and bank your 109 to the left, now cut your throttle to 0, deploy full flaps (you might wan't to open the radiators) and pull the stick to your guts (do all of that at the same time) making an almost unbelieble sharp left turn that almost certainly caught the chaser off guard. hold the turn just a few secs and close flaps, jerk you'r throttle to turn towards the spit as sharply as possible. If done correctly the spit should be somewhere infront of you turning or climbing. Now you have just a few seconds to score hits on your chaser. If you miss you'r doomed and if you hit 8)
A note is that experienced spitpilots can render this maneuver useless with a bit of fast thinking and it's generally a dangerus maneuver.
Newer the less I like doing this as a last effort cuz the spitfire pilot will deffinetley get the shivers when you point your big nasty gun at him, even if you fail this maneuver clearly say, don't mess with me punk!!!:twisted:
