Spixteens

[Clone155]

Why do people fly them so much? I can't stand the sight of one. It disgusts me that such a plane can exist in the world of AH. They are so Uber, that they change the tide of battle with just one in the area. The funny part is, they are usually flown by the noobs, but there are still some dweebs out there that fly these all the time! I will never fly that plane unless i absolutely have too, just because I feel dirty after I do. Its OK to fly them every once in a while, but to fly them every other sortie? Why do they do this anyway? Is it fun to know that you are in an Uber plane that nothing else can touch unless you REALLY screw up? I don't find it fun to fly in such a plane that is that easy to get kills.

Whine over 

[Spyder]

I hate this plane too, especially when they come at 15K with a friend, then what do you do?

Jeeez!!

You must REALLY hate the Tempest then!!

[MajWoody]

Whateva

Fly what you want. It's your 14.95
oh btw.........spixteens die just the same as any other plane.

I hate tempest so much. I put my own in the ground.

I don't have a problem with the Tempest because #1, its perked, and #2, you don't see them that often.

It may be there 14.95, but there 14.95 is ruining my 14.95

In the performance data I've been crunching the Spixteen ranks with the other perk rides (sometimes exceeds them), and it's near impossible to change the modifiers for the performance categories to achieve a different result.  It's faster than most and improves with altitude, it climbs with the 109s, its roll rate is 2nd to the 190, it packs a punch with twin hispanos (with great ballistics), has good cockpit visibility, it accelerates with the best, and it can even carry 3 250lb bombs... oh yeah, did I mention that it turns well too?  It's only poor categories are range and energy retention.

The Spitfire VIII is almost as good, but because of its slower roll rate, acceleration and top speed it's in a class below the XVI.

[simshell]

just fly a Spit-5 and lure them into a knife fight

works alot against NoobFires

but the Vets will eat you alive so be careful

[Warspawn]

Yeah, a modest perk would be enough to encourage spixteen and 3-cannon LA7 drivers to try other rides.  The CHog is perked, so these should be as well; it was overflown in its time, now these are.

[SWrokit]

   he he.....almost bit into this one......then stopped myself.


Whine + Cheese = Dweeb that knows not how to fly 

<S>

[NEARY]

clone155 you are so ignorant it isn't even funny.  noobs need to fly spixteens to get a feel for aces high, they are good at everything. and btw there are some really good spixteen flyers. you are ignorant for the fact that you think that they are a terrible plane because they school people like you and even more so that you have to come on the forum to whine about it.


plus a perk on it its a bad idea fyi because Aces High is like a bike. to learn how to ride that bike most of the time you need training wheels to ride that bike. because the training wheels let you ride the bike while having fun and that encourages you to keep riding and not quit. a spit 16 is like training wheels.

Maybe if you learned some ACM you wouldn't get your arse handed to you each time you ran into one.  I think it's funny that those that whine about the Spitfire being 'uber' are usually the players that need some serious help on learning how to fight.

c hog is perked because of what, its cannons and its dive? even though all other american planes (except P38 and maybe a p59 [not sure about the 39, never fly them]) can dive with, or exceed its dive speed before fallin apart or compressing. if one thing gets a plane perked, as Gava said, the Spit 16 can hold its own in a perk world too. however, you perk the spit 16 youll see the nikki and la more...but those are easy kills unless they are in the right hands.

Maybe if you learned some ACM you wouldn't get your tomato handed to you each time you ran into one.  I think it's funny that those that whine about the Spitfire being 'uber' are usually the players that need some serious help on learning how to fight.
