No.

And no, i dont fly it either. I have *one* attack sortie in that plane and that one didnt end well at all.

If you perk the Spit16, you also need to perk the La7, the N1K, the Ki84, the Pony (and that would *never* happen) etc etc..... untill the only ones not perked are Hurri1 , Spit1, P40B and C202.

IMHO, the Spit16 is *not* overused at all. Yes you see it often, but hey, its a good fighter. But you also see Spit9s 8s, even 5s..... Id rather the Spit14 gets unperked, but thats another thread. And then the Spit16 isnt all that hard to shoot..... unless you happen across the wrong pilot in it, but thats not the planes fault, is it?

I say perk it, I've flown it and many others, it feels like a low alt beast of the 14, 14's perked and it's a high alt fighter. So I say:

YES!

XVI = 1400HP Merlin
XIV = 2000HP Griffon

Flew the XVI for a while when it 1st came out, very rarely since (if at all).

NO doesn't need perking.

NO

Btw with 136 hours spent in AH during tour 71 you have more problem in your real life than with the Spit XVI, don't you ?

LOL

Here what HT should do -
Take it from it's current 1943 18lbs boost Merlin, and up it to a 1944/5 25lbs boost Merlin.

Then watch the whines pour in

. (give the Pony 150 octane also)
