Taking on the Spit 16 and the Spt 8- How to defeat them

[Phil]

Salute bum (Karaya) 

I will definitely SALUTE you when we cross !

I have full respect when I encounter a SPIT1 ! As I said in my thread, many times the pilot doesn't know the Spit1 from the others...
But did admit that a few times during the scrap I said to myself: " Oh Oh ! This guys knows what he's doing !"  And fortunately for me, my 9 saved my butt and used speed to extend. After that, I reengaged mentally prepared !

Many times before the scrap starts and I realized its a Spit1, I wished that I would have chosen same... Dogfights with Spit1's are a blast !!!!

Unfortunately I don't go much in Duel arena. Don't like furballs and cheap victories or getting shot down when 5 vs 1...
U look for me in MIDWAR Sir. Surprise me ! Show up in your Spit1 and kick my butt ! WIN or LOSE, I will certainly enjoy the fight !

Tell you what, if you want to DA (We won't be near the bottom feeders at the Lake, I promise.)  You'll probably learn some tricks of the trade.   It's all in fun for me and I now enjoy teaching others what I've picked up over the years.   But, I'll probably be spending more time in MW as well.

Co-E or less, you have to use superior angles fighting to set up a shot, you usually only get one shot and if you miss, it's over.  That's why imo the key to success in the K4 is gunnery and using angles to gain the best gun solution you can.  Quite frequently I set up cross snapshots so nice and close that I can't fire or I'd blow myself up with my own 30mm.  Setting up the shot is all about timing, something that can't really be taught.  Against any spitfire always try and push the fight in the vertical unless they have a significant E advantage.  Always have flaps out when doing so.
