Lol.  Been flying the Spit5 frequently this past week in AvA.  It isn't the monster of yesteryear, but it's really quite a handy little airplane.

Oy. Do we REALLY need to have the Spits more uber than they already are? :p
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

So we can see more dweebfires then we already do?  

50% of the planes I see are some model of a dweebfire and the other 25% are lgay7s.

Before the dweebfire 5 was remodeled I woul see people bring them up to 18k and BnZ you to death until they got slow then they would turn with you.  Now its the dweebfire 16s that I see up at 18k just Bnzing you to death.

Well, i ran into many N1Ks tonight. But if it was a Spitty, 9 out of 10 were a 16. I miss the 5, always a good fight that one.



BTW, i dont think the Spit5 is undermodelled now. Speed and gun power isnt everything ;).
21 is only half the truth.

Tikky are you even remotely interested in historical realism?


the thing that kinda rocks my boat is the spit 5 has been soposedly over powered for soo long and its caused alot of wines that were justified. Seeing such a radical turn in its flight model makes me wonder what other planes are flying too well or too badly, tho when it comes down to it HTC has a wide range of numbers to choose from since planes were not exactly consistent in their performance due to weathering, manufacturing, upkeep ectra. Which can be a good thing when it comes to making game play decisions. If we had dummed down the La7 a bit im sure it would level the playing feild a little, or at least cause less whines, as long as it was within the performance range that historical numbers produce, (on the bottom end!)

It would be interesting to see some new flight models for CT, it has been said already that the planes will get upgrades and such, (ill also be interested to see how this is rationalized) so where will the planes start out? will they be within factory  efficancy levels for the default and you build it up from there, aka we get 450 mph p51s running around after a few booster tweaks or something, or will the planes start out sub par factory number wise and as you progress and get promoted you get better mechanics who get you the best parts from the scrap pile.

Just to clarify, the Spit V was not modeled wrong, it was running +16 boost, which it did use at the later stages of its use. The problem was, with the way it was the 16+ Spit V was a later version than the Spit IX we had. With the addition of the VIII and XVI it allowed the V to be redone as a '41-'42 12+ boost Vb and the IX redone as a '42-'43 which makes much more sense.

So, the 16+ boosted Vc was not "wrong" it was just not the most appropriate version of the V to do cronologically.
