The Spit VIII turns quite well, and better than the XVI - which I presume to be OK.
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Badboy tested both new Spitfires and posted this to the Training forum.



As you can see, the two have virtually the same turning ability.

You can read Badboy's Spitfire post and see his Energy Maneuverability Diagrams comparing the SpitV and the SpitVIII here.

My regards,

Maybe within the next month Mosq... the recent upgrade added so many planes to test, and recently I am thinking about new methods or criterias to test the turns too, so it might take a bit of time.
