Damaged Spitfire vs 109 - who would win?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34g_2ariEgI
Here's a video of an encounter I had recently on Operation Relinquish. I found 2 high 109s (you already know who they're going to be!) fighting a Spit and got myself stuck in. After sustaining some damage, I managed to reverse the fight and chase down a 109. Salute to J-HAT - you put up a good fight. If only you'd just extended - when RTBing my damaged Spitty could only make 230 mph!

Pure Class on both sides!

Some of the best cinematic sequences I've ever seen here! :thumbsup:
Re: Damaged Spitfire vs 109 - who would win?
Wow!
This is intense!
Great flying on both sides and an expertly made vid!
Re: Damaged Spitfire vs 109 - who would win?
Nice video and fight.
They often get me with that first attack even if I see them coming.

Excited to watch this later after work. I was the other Spitfire. Meyer and I got into it big time as per usual and eventually both buggered off. I should've been there to protect you from the initial damage you took but I had briefly disengaged to come back in with some authority. Not briefly enough, I guess. Good show!

I was wondering where you and the other 109 had went off to.
I originally saw 3 contrailers and thought they must all be 109s, and came in from below and behind. Then I realized there was one Spitty there as well. I was pretty low on E by the time I was engaged, and the fact that you were able to drag Meyer off into a seperate fight is probably what saved my bacon and allowed me to fight JHAT.

And how the hell was I supposed to know that :-P
From my point of view you were in guns range with 8 .303 ready to spray!
You took my rudder and elevator cables off with that first hit btw. There it was over.
