Very true.  Problem is, your oponent will just dive down to were you lose that advantage or let him go.  It is much easier to dive than to climb, hence the popularity of La-7s over things like the P-47N or, even if it were unperked, Spitfire Mk XIV.

This a followup.  Thanksto everyone for all the great advice!  I have found that going into a tight turning climb at the edge of a stall discourages the pesky 16's.  It also puts me into position to drop down onto them when they give up or stall.  With that said, the other tactic I have gone with is to single out other Spits before any other plane.  Take care of it before it becomes a problem.  Look for my UGH plane of the month thread coming soon...
