Hello. My name is Sabre, and I'm a recovering Spit-Dweeb

[Rojo]

Alas, it's happened.  With the advent of the Spit V, I've joined the ranks of the Spit-Dweebs. It started innocently enough...A quick hop, just to try it out; you know, a little light experimenting. "I flew, but I never engaged." I'd tell my friends and squadies.  Yet the light of suspicion was in there eyes.  

My once-in-a-while joyrides in the Spit became more and more frequent as time went on.  My head would swim and my hands would tremble as the mouse pointer would drift of it's own volution to the nomenclature at the bottom of the aircraft selection list...the Spit V.  I stopped spending time with my old rides; the N1K, the Pony, my once beloved 109.  "I can quite anytime I want to." I'd tell myself; it was a lie.  Instead of a careful preflight analysis of the map to determine where the most likely spot for a deliberate hunt was, I found myself inexolerably drawn to the spot on the map with the thickest concentration of red dots.

It was then that my Squadron mates made the all important intervention.  They tied me to my computer chair and put the mouse out of reach. They made me fly flight after flight in the La-5 until I screamed with rage, but never gave up on me.  Now I can proudly say I have been Spit-free for almost 12 hours.

I have since founded "Spit-Dweebs Annonymous," or SDA.  We can help you too, but first you have to admit the problem.  Remember: A spit-dweeb is never cured...only recovering.  So take control of your life and your mouse, and join SDA.  Then you too can say with pride, "I am a recovering spit-dweeb!"

Sabre (a.k.a. Rojo)
P.S. Anyone know when we'll be getting the Spitfire XIV?

Hehe i'm a Spit driver myself... Said good byes to my old love 109 last tour. Though I mostly fly SpitIX - prefer a bit of speed and firepower to extra manuvarability. Also waiting for a MkXIV to make its mark in AH arena
Now do I need to be cured? Maybe... Do I want to be cured? HELL NO!!!

I've been assigned to fly spits to find some 'weak' spots with them in regards to LW aircraft.  My current K/D ratio is 11/1  22 kills, 2 deaths.  Ummmmm,CALL ME A SPIT DWEEB!

I, also, am a spit dweeb [spat hears a gentle comforting voice of his support group's leader: "that's ok, let it out..."]

I use to fly it all the time, and there was this constant barrage of insults about my beloved: "dweebfire, nancy boy..." and "...that 'real' men fly radials..." It all became too much [sob, sniffle]
[and once again comes the re-asuring voice: "yes, we know, we've all heard them - they're just jealous"]

So i decided to try some other planes, i felt so cheap. The LA-5N, the N1K2, the Pony, i was a real plane 'potato' - i was totally unfaithfull...

But the light of my life has accepted me back and im once again flying my dweebish chunk of aluminum.

So let them talk, slag you off, ridicule your spitty... ...they ARE just jealous.

[cheers, weeping, and a standing ovation from the SDA group]

Actually, on any given night, I fly about  5 different A/C, depending on what the mission calls for, like alot of folks.

After all, "There are ALOT of great pilots that handle ONE type of A/C well, there  are only a HANDFUL of pilots that handle EVERY  A/C great.."  Something I'm trying to achieve!

Exactly right, Ripsnort.

When it comes down to defense of a field, i only fly spits... its the only one that can fly and maneuver with jack***t for "E"!!!

[AKDejaVu]

Took a SpitV up for a jaunt yesterday.  I actually turned inside of a N1k.  He musta had a large fuel load.

I saw enough of it to know that I'll stick with my F4

[Sundog]

The C.205 used to be my bird of choice...made fun of all my squad mates who flew Spit..er Dweebfires. Then HT introduces this...this...this Spit Mk V!!! It's corrupted me! The only other plane I have a chance in now is the Spit IX. Be WARNED!!! Once you get hooked on the Dweebfire it's a hard habit to break...somebody get me a
P-51!!!!  

:::::Hands begin to stop shaking::::

Ahhh heck with the Runstang...I'm a Dweebfire Pilot!

I'm doing most of my learning on a Spit IX. Why? I'm British.

I want the Spit XIV and the Mosquito, though.

[Ripsnort]

QTS, you may have your Spit14, right after the TA-152 is finished.
