Spit 14 and Spit 16

[Krusty]

Well I said:

The spit14 came after the spit16  <-- this is true.

If the spit16 is a spit9, it's not "just" a spit9, it's the one of the best versions of the spit9. <-- this is true, also.

I don't think I need to back up either of these with MLA style citations. They're pretty basic comments.

My other comment (UFO) was totally in relation to AH2 and requires no references other than a prerequisite that you fly AH.

I understand what you're saying, but he and a couple of others like posting similar things to me when they don't apply to me at all. It gets annoying. Sorry if I came off as harsh to the other posters in this thread.

WTF? Dude I made NO references to any books. Get off the crack.

Maybe this comment of yours from the 109E/Spit I thread will help refresh your failing memory?

Just because you use crack doesn't mean everyone else does.

Krusty:
"The spit14 came after the spit16 <-- this is true. "

Yes it is true, and not. The Spit 16 was already around under another number-hat with a British built engine before the XIV flew (CCC MK IX, boosted). But again the Mk XII was also around in 1943, and about the time that our particular Mk 16 flew the Brits were boosting up to +25, which is the Merlin Spit we're never gonna get.
So they are overlapping.
But we don't have (and I doubt we ever will) the ultimate Spitties , even as the winner for some years - trouble starts in 1943.

Too darn good

Spit 14 falls flat on its face in MA, unless by some act of God you actualy run into an nme ftr above 15k, its not worth the perks, and most of the guys that DO pay the price wind up getting killed below 10k by spits that are much more nimble at lower alts.
Of course this is an opinion, and we know that they are worth a pee hole in the snow, lol.
Good pilots are always gonna argue the advantages of the perk monsters, and how they dominate, but its like any other plane, if you fly it outside its element your gonna die, and more often than not that spit14 just comes up short in a straight on turn fight, of course there is the vertical......

O man SPit14 is NOT a turn fighter. It is a BnZ and Vert fighter. It has way to much torque and it is to heavey to be an effective turnfighter.

I thought that the comment {of course there is the vertical:t} would get across that I know where the plane shines and it deffinatly is NOT bellow 10k turn fighting with earlier spits.
