It is cool that you like Spitfires and all... but you should at least be honest.

There is no US plane that does everything better than the Spit 16.  There are quite a few US planes that do *nothing* better than the Spit 16.  The rest are merely faster, which isn't all that important imo.  

There is a reason that the Spit 16 and La-7 are the most used planes... they happen to be the best planes for the game.

another thing over top of turing 200 off is to patrol the bases back or around where the furballs are.. as planes such as 51's 38's and jug's not to mention the LW birds seem to take off from these fields more then the one's being attacked as they need the time to build the E to fight...

as far the spit 16 la7 being the best for the game i would have to question as niether of these birds bother me when i am in the 51 it is just a matter of knowing which tactics to use against them and which not too.. and of course not tring to take too many off them on at once  :) i have seen guys do things in all the birds in here that make them all good birds for the game..just depends on how you want to fly and what tatics you want to use..

I agree with Urchin on the previous comments i think theres a preponderance of newbs who don't want to fly anything different from a spit or La because their easier furballing planes. I don't like flying them to much because their use is so much of a no-brainer that i get bored with them. At least when flying some of the more difficult types you have think how your going to use it against these disimiliar planes and use your advantage to win. The employing of tactics nessessary in flying a 47, 38, fw-190 or something makes them more fun for me than just mindless furballing in a spitfire.

Im all up for that LEDPIG, except the fact that im a Spit Fan, Spit 16, Spit 8 HAS to be Perked. Not to forget the LAs, they are too abused and spit 16 is the only one flying practically, I stay away from the 8 and 16 unless there are alt monkeys I MAYBE will fly a spit 16.

I agree ... nothing in the US arsenal combines the handling, acceleration, climb, and firepower of the Spit16. Not even close. US planes have speed and range and plenty of ammo ... things which are of lesser value in the MA.

You wanna see fewer La-7's? Just disable the 3-cannon configuration and watch what happens.

yeah, but *technically* it was a LF mk9 with packard merlin 266, and the only difference between the two, LF 9 and 16 was the fact the engine was made in another factory, in america, and the tool sizes and systems were different. we could add a LF mk9 and it would be the same plane, but it would be an early 43 plane instead of late 44 ;) :p

perking a 1943 plane is rediculous, especially when lgays, runstangs and niki's are all over the place:D

I think what they are trying to say, is that after a couple of years, the things you are currently complaining about become non issues.  It is all perspective.  This is a game that takes years to master.

Well, if you're looking at it that way, then you could say mk IX airframe was esentially modified mk V airframe which was modified mk II which was improved mk I, which again was based on 1936 prototype.

That said, Me 262 is based on 1941 airframe...

yeah but the LF mk9 ans the mk 16 were in all aspects, almost EXACTLY identical. only difference was where they were made, so the designation was different

mk 9 had totally different engine to the mk 5:aok
