Lol... 9 out of 10 times!!!
Flying the Spit XIV requires a different method as compared to the Spit IX. It's just about the best E fighter in the game, especially above 20k. Down low, the 109G-10 is a good match-up, but the 109G-6 is still over matched. La-7s flown by average pilots are faced with run or die. Waste your E though, and the Spit XIV lacks the turning ability to shake more agile fighters. On the deck, the Tempest gives the Spit XIV fits. But, as you climb to 15k, the advantage swings to the Spitfire. Above 20k, the Spit XIV owns the Tempest.
Eagler, you may had success against the Spit XIV, but that probably reflected the skill of the pilots and their understanding of how to use the it. But, run across someone who really knows how to use the tremendous capability of the Spitfire Mk.XIV, and your Bf 109G-6 is in deep, deep bandini. All it takes is a patient pilot.
