WTF?  See Rule #4 for calling someone one of the best Yak drivers in the game?   :headscratch:

That will be the last compliment I ever give someone on these boards.

No, for quoting my unacceptable comment.  Not your fault.

In a knife fight between the two spits of the OP I would ask for a mk.IX everytime. In an energy fight the mk.VIII may dominate but not by enough to avoid the danger completely. Both are excellent planes but my personal preference is with the mk.IX.
And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.

109's are easy mode compared to the 14 when slow,

In a straight up fight the Spit 9 is better because it has longer ailerons for improved roll rate performance.  This of course helps in slow stall manoeuvres where the spit 8 will flounder a little.

spit14 = hard mode (??)
109g6 = easy mode
Then what is a spit16? Not even mentioning your beloved Mk.VIII.

Bf109G-6 is a harder aircraft to succeed in than the Mk XIV.  The Bf109K-4 is not harder.

The G6 was quite easy for me, only took the K4 against the pony-missions as it was even easyer. Found the spit14 to be quite simmilar to the K4 except the guns, torque direction, and of course, the perk price what i never could get. But jumping into a spit 8/9/16 gave me the simmilar feeling - it was just like cheating.

Yeah, I see the Bf109K-4 as slightly better than the Spit XIV in AH.  Twice the WEP, a bit more controllable, but harder to use guns.

Difference is, one is perked and the other has an ENY of 20.
