I'm very fond of the C.202 in this game. I've landed many sorties with high volume of kills. My claim of fame to my squadmates was landing 12 in a single MA sortie with 1 hotpad halfway through. I've gotten upwards of 10 at other times too.
Against a SpitVb it is woefully outclassed in every way. If you beat a spit while flying a C2 he either wasn't looking at you or he sucked (which is quite common as the lesser skilled newbies seem to gravitate towards spits). Doesn't mean the C2 is any more capable, just that you were better.
Against later planes, it has a few minor advantages, namely it can out-turn some faster planes that have worse turn radii, but against a spit? You're in trouble when it's a 1v1 fair fight.
