Which and why?
Spit V for: manevrability, armament, DF
Fritz (the best of 109's IMO) for: manev., DF + EF combination
For me: there are two equal planes.
the spitfire, why?? because the spit was used by the allies, the -109F by the axis, the allies beat the axis, and so, the spitfire was better than the -109F
"Reminds me of the time I sank the Tirpitz" comments a Spitfire pilot, "One pass of course, old boy."
Thats a stupid theory
Plain old retarded....
The Friedrich for sure.... And I would take the Fw-190A over the Bf-109F....
Hmm. The Spitfire did have great manuverabilty, which became useful in dogfights, but the -109 was just as good as the Spitfire.
If you ask me, i would have taken the Spitfire over the -109. Besides, the Spitfire had a more guns on it than a -109.

U have any idea what calibre those Spit Mk V's had -38????
2 20mm and 4 - .303 or 4 - 20mm which beats the 109s 2 - 7,92 and 1 - 20mm
The BoB not withstanding of course, except for a few Mk.Ib's armed with cannons. For the most part, they just had the eight .303's.
I'd take the Bf 109F. It has a cannon on the centerline, two MGs in the nose.
From Erich Hartmann & Gerhard Barkhorn, "One in the nose is worth 4 in the wings!"
Between these two guys, they shot down over 650 Allied aircraft. I believe them.
The 109F was the best of the series as far as the Aces were concerned.
"Try to fly in the middle of the air. The edges can be recognized by water, ground, rocks, and interstellar space. It is much easier to not hit anything in the middle of the air than it is anywhere near the edges."
Thanks for the info -38... I already knew that... Wanted to see if he did...2 20mm and 4 - .303 or 4 - 20mm which beats the 109s 2 - 7,92 and 1 - 20mm
The Spitfire V and Bf-109F were equal opponents. It purely came down to the pilot skill when these two faced off. The Spitfire V had none of the problems of the Spitfire I and II so comparison is zilch. The Fw-190A vs. Spitfire V however would be the end of days for the Spitfire.
"When you go home tomorrow, don't expect anyone to know what you have been through. Even if they did know, most people probably wouldn't care anyway. Some of you may get the medals you deserve, many more of you will not. But remember this, all of you are now members of the front-line club, and that is the most exclusive club in the world." - Lt.

To those in that club.
Plan_D you are right. It comes right down to the pilot who's flying the bird.
It all comes down to luck, skill, guts, and of course being alert. Every shot that you would have fired counted. It could be that one misfire or moving to slowly that got bullets hitting your cockpit.
