But do you think you know everything about how to fly that spit? do you think if you went to duel another spit pilot he wouldnt stand a chance against you? Are you as good now as you ever could be in a spitfire?



I don't think he was referring to dueling other spits, simply MA play style the fight is stacked for the spitfires. 

I don't think the spitfires are overmodeled or anything, but the MA doesn't show its greatest weakness in the war which was fuel load and range.

-edit- dueling, not dualing.   Me fail English?  That unpossible!

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 :furious 

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. :salute

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.

somewhere along the line you lost your imagination bucky, im sorry for you. And dont BS us like this you spent the first 3 years of AH2 flying spitfires and hurricanes.

P51 is far easier to live and get kills in than a spitfire.

I don't fly with by the nose dive and flee mantra.  I live and kill more in a spit.  Why would you doubt our reading comprehension?

Why does it upset you so that the Spitfire is an easy plane to fly?  Just because it is, doesn't mean that you're not any less skilled than anyone else that flies another plane.  It just means it's an easy plane to fly, probably the easiest fighter to fly in the game.  That's not a bad thing but somehow you think it is.  Is it the fact that since the Spitfire is an easy plane to fly that somehow we think you are less skilled for flying it?  Is that what has your panties in a bunch?

 :rofl :rofl Maaaaaaybe about 6 months ago I did 1 or 2 "sortes" in a spit 14. Other than that the last time I used one was tour 85 when I used a seafire twice.................at least thats according to my score (i can't believe you actually made me look at the score page) :(

Only been playin since like march '05 but....whatever stuff you have to MAKE UP to put me down go right ahead :aok


Delusionally yours,

I don't hate spitfires, I just don't think it's right to say they are equally as challenging to fly as a 38.  Batfink, I think your skill level is clouding your judgment.  Put a 2 weeker in a spit and one in a 38, which one do you think would do better?
