Is the Spit16 an awsome plane? Definatly, its fantastic.
Should it be perked? No.
Why?
Well it does not outclass unperked rides like G14, K4, Dora, La7 and Pony. The MA is a late war base lined arena. As long as the base line is late war these rides will be unperked.
I wouldnt mind, would actually prefer, a late 42-43 base lined arena and hence all the mentioned planes pereked. But that wount happen and since that wount happen the Spit16, which is in the performance group of the mentioned planes, should stay unperked.
