The spitfire is one of my favorite planes in RL and would only pass up a chance to fly one in RL for a chance to fly a Pony.
However, this is a GAME and no matter how hard you try to believe your a real pilot if your good at it well.....your not. When you play other games do you put it on easy and win every time? What possible fun could that be? I use the pony alot in this game and I know some of you will say it is "easy mode" and I'll agree that in some aspects it is such as the pony's good speed but, when you do get into a turn fight or a stall fight with planes that are supposed to be superior and win it makes it quit fun. One of the main reason's I use the pony is so that I can run down these planes to give it a go. Another plane I "fly" alot is a 109 (various models) and I find those quit challenging simply because those cannons seem to be to hard for me to aim most of the time, and the visibility sux
I'm not taking sides in this disagreement because as far as players go I have a ton of respect for both of the parties involved. It's guys like these that make me keep logging on in hopes of finding a good fight. Bat and a few of these guys from the 80th are on the short list of people I would actually care to meet in RL from this game.
Playing AH is like watching David Blaine or Copperfield.... You know it's not real but it's human nature to want to believe it is.
