SO there I am going flat out on the deck in the AH Spit FIX chasing an LA7 thats near one of our bases. And this guy is walking away from me, going roughly 40-50mph faster then the Spit.
This isn't making lots of sense to me as he didn't dive in. We'd been dancing a bit with no one getting the edge and when he rolled out, he just took off.
So I dig out the Spit books and what I see is the FIX is that much slower on the deck then an LA7, but an LFIX isn't since the engine is optimized for lower alts.
I kind of like the Spit for defending a base. It is a short range interceptor after all, but because it's the less produced FIX, it sure gets short changed when it comes to running down the LA7s, 51s etc that come diving down and tearing across the airfields so often.
SO how bout that Spit LFIX or LFXVI? Clipped wings would be nice too

Yeah I know, it's been asked a million times and the LW guys would be upset
