Thanks for the stats once again Lusche!!
Educating and entertaining at the same time as always!
Yeh, what really jumps out is the Spitfire Mk.XIV's poor k/d. No way of knowing, but I really wonder how many of those Mk.XIV deaths are from crashes due to inexperienced (with the type) pilots departing from controlled flight during an engagement and crashing or due to enough troubles controlling it to give the initiative to the opposing foe(s).
It is rather easy to inadvertently get it into a flat spin-like "falling leaf" condition which takes quite a bit of altitude to recover. Based on testing it, my hypothesis is that behind of this behavior is its prop's excessive gyroscopic precession.
