Above 25k the N model rules ...

One of the best fights I ever had was in the Jug vs a 109 or 190. I was low on the water and he had a slight alt advantage and speed advantage when the fight started.

I kept making him miss on each pass. Flaps out/in/out/in/out ... lots of rudder here and there ... finally I reversed him ... he bled his E and the 8 x .50 cals let him know who ruled.

Was about to <> the guy when I get a PM calling me a fluff'n cheater ... "no way a Jug could fly like that". Kinda happy that I was called a cheater, but pissed cause I worked that plane for everything it had and really wanted to exchange <~~> with the guy.~~

1 v 1 I would agree ... anything more than that, it just can't eliminate opponents quick enuff to handle multiple bogey scenarios.

That's a shame, but it's an even greater shame you didn't film it.

I'm not terribly good with it, but I have even more fun in the N than in gv's--climbs like crap with bomb load, but zooms up fairly well with 50% and a drop, and its faster than a spit16 at all alts, as I can tell---I think ya can drop flaps all the way out to 300 (well, at least 250;) FAR more nimble than people would think:aok

Since I started playing AH2 before the Spitfires & Bf109s patch came out, I flew the Spitfire Mk9 religiously. It was A good all around plane, but if caught on the same level by A dedicated TnB plane then you where stuffed. Unless you could pull some great reversals PERFECTLY or you had enough E to out manover it vertically, or you could just run away, always the preferred option

.

Catching A dedicated BnZ plane with A Spit Mk9 was/is even harder unless you had alt on him/her. (which lets face it, if your flying A BnZ plane you are going to have height)
You could only catch one of them on the back of A reversal if lucky or if you played the E game with them. I had spent literally hours out manover BnZ planes in A Spit 9 back in the day.

I think that the SpitXVI finally crosses the gap when it comes to A plane that can escape from the true TnB planes & has A chance of catching the true BnZ planes. Lets face it, the XVI is the XI it always should have been.

On A further note, I’m glad that the 109G10 is gone for the reasons that I have noted above, but I don’t think that there would be such A problem with it now, since the XVI is around.

TnB fear the A6M

BnZ fear the La7

Everyone beware of the XVI

Enought said, I think so. ';' ROCK ON ';'

late to jump on the bandwagon, but i really feel the spit14 should be unperked. its just not that great a ride, there's no reasson to perk it, apart from a slightly higher otd speed than spit16. it turns like crap down on the deck, noone will use it, becaue the balance makes it unsteady under 220mph, whats the point in perking it?
