I'll still take the Zeke, thank you. Out turns everything in the game, and I love the turn fighting.

Only thing that sucks is that it can't catch anything at all, besides a GV.

Your thinking is a bit like the Hurri IIc guys. They'll take that better turning circle and those 4 20mms over speed. And more often then not, the unsuspecting 16 driver, thinking he's in the ride that 'does it all' will get sucked into a turn fight with you and boom, he's dead

Just checked. Zeke has 595 Spit 16 kills to 566 kills for the 16 of the Zeke. Kinda speaks volumes about who is flying the Zekes and who is flying the 16s.

Hurri IIcs as an example have 389 Zeke kills to 297 losses to Zekes.

And us poor lowly P38G drivers are 41 kills to 24 deaths to Zekes.

Doesn't make much sense if it's just the plane does it ?

LA7 guys will just try and HO you and run for the hills. I'll still take the Spit 16 crowd over that anyday

If you really want to impress the chicks, only the Yak-9U will do. Nothing get's 'em hotter than a guy who doesn't need WEP to get going, or Viagra. A lot of people overlook the Yak because of no WEP and the poor ammo load, but it is a fast, fast little plane that is also surprisingly tough and climbs like crazy. If you are patient and accurate, you can get kills in it.

Yak-9T is better: the size of the gun *is* important!

Pony B seems to handle the spit XVI pretty well also.

I agree that in the right hands the XVI is pretty uber. The caveat to that though, is that the majority who fly it have no idea what it can do for them.

just my $0.02

Well, at least a Spit XVI is usually flown agressively, and that gives a much funnier fight!

.

Here is a thought. While flying and turning in the spit XVI the noob pilot might actually learn something. As opposed to the la7 noob who HOs and runs 6k out to set up another pass. Try not to slam the XVI pilots so much it might actually help them transition into other rides. All I can say is that it has helped me to do so.

Definately not meant as a slam. I'd rather have newbies turning and learning too

I dont see the unfair advantage in flying a spit 16, guys from the other country have em too.

I really doubt your spit16 is better than the one from the other country, so the argument it is soooo great ride really doesnt count.

I should have worded my post differently. My post was to be more of an add on to your post. No offence taken on my end.

If every pilot in a spit16 knew what the frak they were doing I'd not have killed several of them (2-3) in a single sortie in a c202 over fighter town last week.

Hey! That's only because C.202 is the most beautiful, powerful and uberful (TM) plane of the planeset!

i am a newby and love the spits.used to fly spit 9 but swithed to 16 because of the 50 cals.also fly the 8's .have found that the 9 and 8s are just as lethal.evidently it was the cannon after all.the BB guns are just for show.also like the yak,pony,and my newest challeng is the p-40 e.also id like to publicly say to CAV58 that i cant appoligize for hoing you the other nite in fighter town because of the situation.the shot was incredibly lucky.if you recall i slammed right rudder and just got your cockpit,so maybe not a classic ho but a ho nonetheless. i know that no talent was involved and i bow to your rank (i looked it up).but the opportinity was there and i took it.S~ to you and just know i didnt take any real joy in your untimely demise as i said earlier no talent/pure luck.regards,brick31
