unperked ta152, now spit XIV ?

Very good job on unperking the ta152, now the LWA is different from the old MA. It makes a new plane to test and learn in all situations, very enjoyable for the older sticks :)

I wish that the spit14 gets unperked also, because a P51 is still better on most aspects. I'm a BIG spit fan, it would make a good reason for me to fly late war a bit more :)

In light of the current P-51 modeling, what aspects would those be?

The Spit 14 is actually a fantastic plane, but it flies much differently from the other spits.  

I actually look at it as what the 109 could've been, if it had had Hizookas :).

P51 is faster in max speed, and turns as good to me. Its more stable also, as the spit14 got a hvy nose bounce.

P-51D can go 430mph at 21k? And does it have hizzoka's?

The real truth is you do not like the answer.

You're a very, very lousy turn fighter, then.

Well, it can do 441 mph at 25k.... The SpitXIV can do 443 mph at about 27k. About 5 mph slower than the P-51D at sea level, their relative speeds are closely matched up to just above 25,000 feet.
