Author Topic: Spits anounced, what about the 109s? (Read 1954 times)

The K4 (currently what we call G10) has speed and high alt performance going for it...

I personally don't find it that fast, and have rarely outrun much in it. The high alt performance is nice for when you're high enough to take advantage of it, but at those alts all RAF/USAAF planes turn better than it regardless of how the engine runs.

With only 30mm you may be right, wetrat, but don't forget it can also carry 20mm gondolas (one each wing) as well.

And then there's the climb rate, and the zoom capabilities. The K4 climbs extremely well (one of the best in the game with WEP) and can loop/zoom with the best.

So it wouldn't be immediately overwhelming, but as a total package I can see why some might want it perked.

I worry more about our current G10 than I do about the current spitV, because it's much faster and can climb much better.

Would be cool to see a spit with Clipped Wings

Wrong thread, but it would be nice to look at a spit and say "Oh, clipped wings, I know exactly which spit that is!" whereas now it's hard to tell the 5, 9, and 14 apart until you're inside close icon range.

A 30mm-only 109 as you've suggested should NOT be perked. It takes a lot of practice (and some luck) to learn how to properly use taters. When you only get 65 of them, your sorties are limited to 2-3 kills at BEST if you spray. 2x12mm is more or less useless unless you can shoot in the 20% range (maybe 20 or so active players are capable of this), or are shooting at AFK's, climbers and soft buffs.

You know the G-10 kicks arse, I have seen you remember...

ignore Krusty he hasn't seen the inside of the main...

452 mph aint fast at all is it..?

Wotan is incorrect. I have been inside the main on several different time periods.

I didn't say it wasn't "fast" heh heh, I said I can't seem to outrun much in it, but that's a pilot problem, not plane problem
