The spit 16 has to be perked. i know why its here and it wont be perked. It came out same time as AH was showing commercials. This plane is designed to be easy for the newcomers. Its meant to level the playing field.what used to take years to master a dog fight now takes only a flight or two to master.it took to long for some people the game was too hard..
I can see why the spit16 came coming form a buisness owners point of view..you want the game to appeal to the masses not just the hard line pilots trying to be the best dog fiter on the planet.
But what makes me sick is the amount of "seasoned" pilots flying them. You need a kill that bad? should be emmbarresing to say so but you do when u fly a 16.for a seasoned pilot to fly the 16 is like bringing a gattling gun to a knife fight.some see no problem doing that..thats why i think the integrity of the game is lost and the game has spoiled.i see a newb flying it i understand..i see a guy whos been flying for years i think its shameless.. but thats how our society has become.win at all cost..nothing else matters.
this type of behavior is making the game unbearable..i play less and less everyday.i couldnt wait to play at night.but now i'd rather fall alseep on the couch..who needs the agrivation? the "cheez-ery".

I think everybody said it best when they said: "It's not the plane, it's the pilot."

Wrong - The Spits were changed for the following reasons
Spit I - 1940
Spit V - 1941
Spit IX - 1942
Spit VIII - 1943
Spit XVI/XIV - 1944

Compared to old lineup
Spit I - 1940
Spit IX - 1942 (hybrid)
Spit V - 1943 (uber boosted)
Spit XIV - 1944

So, the old Spit V was the mid-war uber boosted one that people complained about. It is now more properly a Vb and falls into 41 NOT 43.
The IX had the .50cals removed to make it a proper 1942 F IX.
The VIII and XVI were added to fill the free 43 slot, and a non-perked 1944 Spit.
Anyone with sense can see why things were changed.
Nothing to do with commercials.

The current lineup is considered the MINIMUM amount to get a fair representation.
The perfect lineup would re-introduce the old V as a 1943 clipped LF V, add the XII (1943, first production Griffon Spit), and if lucky the F.21 to fill the 1945 time slot.

I give this troll an 8 out of a possible 10. I'd normally deduct points for the punction and grammatical errors, but in this instance, it comes off as unabated rage and frustration. Nicely done, Deep.

its not a troll..he constantly whines on 200 about it. i like it cuz i have a chance against the 3 or 4 or 5 who invariably attack at once, normally from alt in a "real"plane bnzing me to death from 2k above and yell victory when their jug-25 takes me out on 5th pass.

Dead Man Flying · « **Reply #83 on:** January 09, 2006, 09:40:46 PM »

I don't normally fly the Spit XVI, but after FTDEEP's whine, I'm going to make a point of flying it more.

Thanks, FTDEEP!

either unperk the 14 .... or perk the 16 too ... there pritty much the same plane . the 16 may even have the edge on the 14 .

I don't have any fear when I fly a spit16.

I can catch an LA7 with a bit of alt and stick with him.

I can climb with a k4 so he isn't getting away.

With my roll I can turn with any plane. (unlike a spit8, and lol does anyone really flat turn?)

Unlike every other slow plane, 190, I am followin you in a dive, brah.

KI84, don't try your vertical garbage, and btw, when you drop your flaps I can outaccelerate you.

But personally I don't care if it's perked or not. If it is the whole "added to make it easier for new people to stay around marketing", the more the merrier. Plus it's a fun plane to fly.

Flat turning? No. Slow up the Hurri(lol) then build more E, easily.

It has to be a troll; no one is that stupid.

Wow, I just had some wicked deja vu... I think my beer is skunked.
