Excellent Kling, I remember just after I learned about energy fighting and having a dispute with this CHinese guy who absolutely insisted that the i16 was overmodelled and a better fighter in the game than the Bf109E because it could turn tighter and as such win in a one-on-one dogfight.
He invited me to his server so that I could show him why the Bf109 was a better fighter, but he insisted that we fly with 25% fuel!!
We merged and then began the fight and so I started to fly off and began to climb. Intending to get enough height and then B&Z him to death. But because of his insistence on 25% fuel, I kept running out of fuel before I could get enough height!!
As such he 'beat' me twice, as it forced me to fight in a WW1 style dogfight.
I'm sure by the end of it he STILL belived that the i16 was overmodelled because he beat me in a Bf109E. He just didnt seem to 'get it' at all.
No matter how much I insisted that biplanes dont win air to air combat any more, I couldnt get the message across.
If we had both had proper fuel loads, he would have been B&Zed to death and not have had a chance. I would simply have flown off until I was around 2000m above him and watched him flounder as I swooped down on him and loaded him with 20mm MGFF.
The point I am trying to make is the same I have quoted from you. Being able to choose whether or not to fight is a MASSIVE advantage in war and in the sim. USE IT PEOPLE!
DOnt feel that you HAVE to fight that Spitfire, when you are in a FW190. If you are not in an advantageous position, do what real pilots did, bug out!
