Keep in mind that we are talking about specifically the Spitfire MkXIV (14) and F4U-4. Both of which are perked in the MA's. For the comparable non-perked version of these aircraft, the Spitfire MkXVI (16) and F4U-1A or D, the Spitfire is the better choice for a beginner.

Spit 14 is one of my fav planes to go up against because most pilots dont knwo how to fly them (niether dfo i for that matter, but that doesnt matter i never flown it). But flown by a good pilot and it can be deadly.

The F4U-4 however, even a nooby pilot can do good in it, but a good pilot can do GREAT in it.

 well spoken ect...




BTW, try taking the spitfire 14 offline and just fly it for a few minuets, I think you will like it.

I'm not a very good Corsair pilot, but I can do respectably in the 4 hog, simply because that plane is a farging BEAST.  It's unbelievably powerful, and pretty much as fast as it gets.  But I will admit that I do as well as I do in the -4 only because I keep it fast and use its speed to my advantage.  I'm not good enough in the Corsair to get slow and turn-fight with people like some folks do.

I think I fly the -4 differently than I fly the other Corsairs, and that helps me.

I think a lot of people fly the Spit 14 like they'd fly the Spit 16, and that hurts them.

yes they do. Never ever never fly a spit 14 like a spit 16

Dive with the 14 and you're going to regret it when your wings disappear. Dive with a 16 and you're going to need to put rockets on the back to "magically" R.I.P. the wings off. Turn with a 14 and you might do 3 rolls before you notice how sharp you're turning. Turn with a 16, same $#!|.

I still prefer the F4U-4...

Spit 14 sheds its wings too easily in AH.  I've never read of Spit 14s having that problem, other than a couple that were incorrectly reassembled in India after having been shipped from the UK.

There's something that can be asked for in the wishlist.

If you fly the 14 alot, you will get a good feel for it. And you will know when your wings are about to get ripped off, so you will know how hard can you pull your stick.

I don't remember the last time I lost my wings in spit 14.
