Spitfire mk V w/ "C" wing, Spitfire mk 21

Give me a break. It has no weaknesses.

Dear Dave,

If you can't beat it, try flying one. The 16 is not as uber as some make it out to be, just more common than the other Spits.  Every bit of the Spitfire family has dangerous capabilities within their flight envelope and a good pilot at the stick.  Prefer the 8 myself.

It's not that it hasn't any weaknesses, it's that the XVI and the VIII both have the low alt Merlin 266 (Merlin 66) which is well suited for the MA low furball environment.

In all important aspects our XVI is actually a 1943 LF IX, only difference is the LF IX had .303's in place of the .50 cals.

Almost reminds me of all the fuss over our old Vc with the max boost and cropped impellor.
Yet really only 2 ways to lose to it -
a) Get bounced by one with a lot of alt.
b) Fight on the Vc's terms.

I thought the name of this section of the Forum was called "WISHLIST" not "SHI% STORM" lol

  Just keep on dreaming ..... Every time someone asks for a new fun fighter , the fun police go into their
old song and dance ( chit-frenzy ) of how it would be a game killer .... ya dee yada.... 

  Too bad  'cause The Spit V with the B wing  would be a cool addition .... 

We have a Spitfire Vb now

The old AH Spit V looked like a Vb but had the ammo load of a Vc

No thanks. I actually try to fly a skill plane myself.

You might want to actually try it before you spout idiocy.  The Mk V is nothing like the Mk XVI.

And maybe you should read the post I was replying too. He was talking about flying the Spixteen.

And I know the different between the V and XVI, thank you.

 Roger That , All I'm saying is that the 4 cannons on it would be a lot of fun to dog fight
with .... and a great addition to the game .....

Dear Dave,

I will not even continue this line of conversation with you Sir.  Keep hanging on to your misunderstandings/misconceptions, and enjoy your very narrow slice of Aces High.

Theres no misconception or misunderstanding. There's a reason why a load of pilots in Ah want the Spit XVI perked.

[Xasthur]

Yeah, they suck and get kilt by people flying them.

There are plenty of aircraft in the game that turn better or do at least something better.

Also, let's face it, the majority of people who fly Spit 16s, La7s and N1ks for that matter are impatient and of below-average skill. It is not difficult to out-wit them.

Personally, I think Spits are awful to fly and I have no idea why they're so popular. To each their own, though.

4 cannon Spits..... why not? Provided they flew as badly as the instant removal of the second bank of guns would suggest, I think it would be great.

Perhaps when/if the perked load-outs become a reality this would be a good idea. There are still lots of things that need to be re-modelled and added before that.

Fly one, you will find that is false.

Dear Dave,

With all due respect there is not a single plane in AH that gets E out of nowhere.  Climbs like a rocket?  Turns with most planes?  Who are you getting these amazingly general and inaccurate facts from?  I would highly suggest some research into facts and flying the plane yourself so you know the weakness/strength's of this plane before making such bold statements.  You are only showing your narrow slice of Aces High to be smaller than I originally thought.

For a nice super spit. Get a nice used(or) new Spit 16 body the chop the back off then place a nice bubble canopy on it.
