War Thunder - Spitfire Mk 24 vs Bf 109 G-14 - A very pretty little piece of BFM - Air Sim (Replay) 

You have adjustable flaps and a better energy retention in maneuvers than the Spitfire. Use that. It out performs you in the climb and in speed, so your goal should be to trap it in the maneuvers and exploit your flaps and higher power-to-weight in a manuever fight. Your nose authority is top notch in a G.56, you just need to get one good burst of the MG151s off and the Spitfire will be mega dead. Spitfire pilots don't see the G.56 often and will often underestimate the sheer maneuverability of the Centauro with its flaps. A good spitfire pilot won't let you engage it in maneuvers and play to its strengths against you and BnZ, but then that's the same principle as fighting any BnZer.

There were points there where I could have, but Spitfire flaps are very touchy and rippy. You have to manage them really carefully cause they only have a Landing setting, they're either fully out or in, nothing inbetween. Spitfires are usually fine without them thanks to the big elliptical wings as well, so I often won't go to flaps in a fight.

@@TigrisGamingCML thanks man! Didn’t know that!

@@Cooldibs No problem at all.

Sometimes it works to open them between stall maneuvers But there is a risk that they will break before they are closed.

real sad. Very sad.

@@TigrisGamingCML why does spits tend to flat spin?

@@AbdurrahmanZedSaeed it's really easy to push the spitfire past its limits since it can pull seriously huge angles, but once you push it too far you can lose it. Good thing is Spitfires are *really* easy to recover out of a spin, just push down on the stick, full opposite rudder, and it'll come out of it 9 times out of 10.
