===Spitfire===
Having one of the most stable firing platforms in Battlefield 1942, this plane receives a bad reputation for being less than adequate for aerial superiority. This is not entirely incorrect, however, never get into a turning battle with one of these planes. Most players have the false assumption that this plane is less maneuverable than the [[#Me109|Me109]]. They are mistaken. This plane, especially at slow speeds, is incredibly maneuverable. It is quite possible to linger over a location at just above stall speed and pick off planes.

One thing worth noting about this plane is there is no escape from an enemy if you’re in a Spitfire. You are slower than everything else in the world, including that girl on skates who just passed your plane. Seriously, this plane does not go fast; only engage targets where victory is assured. Most people believe the Spitfire to be inferior to the Me109, but this could not be farther from the truth. The Spitfire, flown correctly, is more than a match for its nemesis. Never attempt to follow the Me109 vertically, as you will quickly lose any advantage you might have had. Instead, concentrate on what your plane does well, which is turning. Only go vertical with this plane in the direst situations and do not expect to win against an experienced pilot.
