Thanks from the Spit fanatics
« on: November 11, 2005, 12:07:36 AM »
Love that Spit XVI.  About as close as I'll get to an XII, but no complaints.  Rolls well, has a bit more pep and is the Spit I'd been hoping for.

Much thanks.

The VIII, IX and the others look great too.  Took the I out for a Spin as well as the VIII to go with the XVI.

Gonna have to remind myself to go back and fly my 38G.

That's it though.  I've got all I want in AH.  Spit XVI, P38G.  All is good :)

I agree Dan, though there seems to be a storm brewing in calls to perk the Mk XVI.  If it happens you may be forced back into that P-38G just to afford a Spitfire Mk XVI habit.

Sounds like cocaine. ;)  Maybe Dan can get involved with Spit trafficking and have all the Spit his habit requires.

LOL

Well it's not like they're perked that high... Hell I made just short of 60 perks last week in 1 night (few hours flight time). At about 15 perks (current Spit14 rate) that'll last me at least a few days of perk rides :) (and that's being very generous)

I've been in Spit trafficking for 25 years :)  I've got lots of good Spit connections!

Me and some of my boys back in 85(at the 41 Squadron reunion.  Spit drivers all except me of course).  Gotta love them Spits :)

So does that mean we perk anything some of us don't like?  LA7s were still faster on the deck tonite.  Gotta believe the K4 will outrun it.  D9s perked?

Jeez, can't an old Spit fan have a bit of fun without conditions always being imposed on em? :)

if i were a hacker, i'd get past HTC security and unperk everything in the game and add a 30-pt perk to the La-7.  that would be worth being banned for.  hehehe

We'll see.

Heck, I remember there were calls to perk the Mossie VI in the days following it's release and look how that turned out.

In the week after it was released.  I'm not joking either.

Was this during beta? Or after? I don't remember it at all, but I missed the beta testing (didn't have a 3d card til just when AH went public)

Mossie was added in v1.08 in the same patch as the Me262 as I recall.  I think the perk system went live in v1.07.  I'd have to go back and check.  It's been a long time.

That XVI with the clipped wings just looks that good in flight.

Couple of shots from a flight with a squaddie, both in XVIs.

It's a beaut!
