Both aircraft were deadly and beautiful although it is my opinion that the Spitfire was more beautiful and artistic almost like a racing plane that grew guns while the Emil looked Engineered for war and was quit menacing looking.

I fly both regularly in a few Sims and in the end I have to give it to the 109E simply for the paint jobs the Luft boys threw on there crates

Yeah that is all good and stuff but the Luft boys lost
