[ACE-OF-ACES]

I got IL-2 for Christmas 2009, and I've been playing it non stop pretty much. I've been practicing a lot with Spits vs. Bf-109s (not the server but just with the FMB) and I'm in an allied country so naturally wanted to fight for the allies in Spitfires. But I kept getting outrun and relatively quickly shot down over and over and over. For months I tried to figure it out. So last week I got bored and switched to a Bf-109 and all of a sudden I was taking down Spitfires like fish in a barrel. I though spits were better at maneuvering and could turn better, but in that Bf-109 I was able to get real close to 'em, I was able to turn well without stalling, and the powerful guns made it easier to annihilate the plane once I was almost caught in his rudder.

Aren't spits and Bf-109's equal? It sure doesn't seem like it to me. I guess I'll just start fighting for the Germans now because I can actually hit something with a Bf-109.

It's the man not the machine
