Fear the Spit 16!

I like the Spit16 because it rolls very fast, but last time I checked (I may be wrong) it doesn't carry alot of ammo, which for the new people like myself with poor aim need. :)

It teaches you to use less ammo and make your shots count.

Spit16 is ok, its basically an la7 with better guns.



best plane in the game for not dying and getting loads of kills is the P51D, or maybe the Tempest.

Actually the 109-K does a better job of that IMHO.

I find I can usually reverse and turn inside a Spit 16 when it overshoots my F6F. The clipped wings seem to noticeably increase its turn radius. The Spit I have most trouble with is the 8.

16''s great roll rate makes it the best of the spits.  It can't turn with a hurri or zero,  can't outclimb a niki, can't out run a lala, but used properly it may be the best all around plane (non perked)  in the game.

I like it when a pony or lala is chasing me.  Just put a little climb into your extension and you walk off and leave them, assuming they don't have a big e advantage to start with.

Guns package is great, ammo load is weak.

Just have to know it's stregnths and weaknesses.

109k4 is the Spit16s equal if not better.
