Tense Dogfight with a good kill in the end, but I feel like the yak had run out of ammo because of the many times you flew directly in front of his guns, they didn't fire, but they would've likely won if they did. A small tip when dogfighting in a spitfire, especially the heavier griffon spits, is to quickly tap on and off the flaps when ever you need to pull a tight turn. This not only acts as combat flaps without ripping your landing flaps off, but also can be used to slow down to prevent overshooting like what happened when you ended up in front of the yak. Unfortunately I couldn't see through the replay how you controlled your throttle to give specific advice, but if I needed to decrease speed even more than flaps to prevent overshooting, I generally reduce throttle when diving, and then increase throttle when pulling up and climbing, though you must be careful to not lose too much speed and stall.
