Corky my list is very objective mmkah?  I cut the bs and I made a beautiful venn diagram for the toon world to see and learn from.  I know you agree with me and are just playing ambassador/bliss ninny which is why everybody loves you.  
It has more to do then I just can't get worked up about it.  I much prefer to see guys in Spits, N1KS and 109s as they tend to mix it up.  Even the Corsair drivers are willing to bend the bird a bit.  To me, with the way I play, the easy mode guys are in 262s, 51s, D9s, Tempests etc hanging up high, and blowing through the fight that someone else is having.
But I've been reminded many a time, that it's their dime, and I just have to live with it 

The Spitfire was such a good short range fighter in WW2 because of exactly what it does here.  It's forgiving, does most everything well and gives lower time pilots a chance to survive.  The guys flying it for real back when lives were one a piece felt the same way about it.
When I run into Spits I seem to do ok against most folks in it.  There is a huge difference between running into a guy who knows what he's doing and the average AH pilot.  In that it gives the average pilot the confidence to get into a fight and to start learning to bend a cartoon fighter makes it much more of a preferable ride to me, then the Mustang for example.  Most guys never learn how much a Mustang can do, because they hop in them new and only learn to fly it high, fast and straight.
