Competitor to the Heinkel 112, which like this, was also a horrible plane. Slow, slow and slow, inadequately armed. These two aircrafts are, really, just inferior to the Spitfire.
Not much else to say apart from that this is a piece of unairworthy trash.

not particularly bothered for a spitfire yet and the B-1 is slow.. @BMilan
"Inferior to spitfire" I laughed so hard on this. Let's see: the Bf-109 B-1 entered production in 1936 while the Spitfire only entered production in 1938 (at this time, aircraft development was very fast so 2 years mean a lot). Yes the B-1 variant was inferior to the Spitfire but let's compare the spitfire to a variant that came out the same time. The Spitfire debuted in november of 1938 and the Bf-109 E-1 in december of 1938. Now the speed you mentioned, well yes the bf-109 was a little bit slower (spitfire ~ 584 km/h, bf-109 e-1 ~ 574 km/h) but calling it "slow slow slow" is stupid, it was one of the fastest fighters in the european theatre, and the bf-109 was a strong competitor to the spitfire, both planes advanced very quickly trhoughout the war and it's impossible to determine which one was better as usally they were on the same level. Calling the He-112 an "also horrible plane" is stupid again, at it's time it was a really great design too.
But lemme ask something. If you hate this plane so much, why the hell did you steal if from pancelvonat and uploaded it numerous times? You even uploaded a He-112 even tho you called it a "horrible plane"? But I don't see any spitfires on your posts list. How is that?
