I love the spit 14 also...no bombs but the one of the best dogfighters in the game...Its got the guns, turn rate and speed...Awesome aircraft

14 is great, but hardest model of the spits since it is not a "pull on the stick" kind of plane. Tough to control at slow speeds and very dependent on the WEP.

A real 5 minutes wonder, second in that respect only to the P47-N.

XIV is great, be even better if they fixed the climb rate and turn rate problems with it.

Still not worth a perk price (even if it was at 21lbs boost) considering down low where the MA mess is it's nothing special.
It's true environment is up over 25k where it really starts to shine.
Strangely enough every other true high alt plane, P-47N, Ta-152 are free, hmmmmmm.

2) No propeller plane can take off, climb 10,000 feet, all the while accelerating to 500mph in under 60 seconds

3) No propeller plane with the weight of a Spitfire and an engine of that era can begin an 80 degree climb at 120mph and reach 360mph IN the climb while still accelerating.

I have seen a Spitfire XVI do all of the above things.

Must have been that Spit Varient with JATO... 10k and 500mph in 60 sec....
your kidding right?

RE: number 2 -
Considering its top speed is around 404mph at 21k, I find it extremely hard to believe one took off and accelerated in a climb to 500mph.
