First of all, spits are the most simple planes to shoot down.
The problem with spits is they turn to good "WUH!?" thats right, often times there turn rates will put them back into there targets cone of fire.
You can take just about any plane, hit your page up key,and pull back on the stick like your goin' outa style.
The head position will allow you to see better past your nose,will allow you to get that snap shot,and..you will still be able to see you prey twisting and runing.
I cannot STAND the guessing work when trying to get a deflection shot, so simply "stand" up and get a better view.
Most times spits and hurr's will pull right back into my gun cone and i just hammer down.
Simple.
Also there roll rates suck, if you can pull back on your stick apply a bit of rudder and a little bit of roll,you can useualy keep yourself moving in a direction even the spit will find hard to handle.
Anyhow, like most people think the plane is a tool, but the pilot any good pilot, can take a rock and fly it in the air with some form of success.
Also remember fuel weight drop tanks and ordiance effect how your plane will fly. If you heavy* you will have a much harder time.
The key is taking enough fuel to get in,drop your drop tanks's fight for 5-10 mins and get home.
If you plan on staying in a combat situation,remember the longer you do..the more fuel used and the better your plane will preform, of course that is if you can keep yourself alive and in a good situation.
All to many times people loose there 51's and 47 .ect because they are forcing combat on a plane using x2 the fuel/weight/drag everyone else is holding.
People diving there 262's with 100% fule, only to have the wings snap off, pulling 3 g's doin' 500 mph. dont get it.
light light light.
