Just wondering, did you guys ever fly the spitfire 14?

Spitfire Mk XIV out climbs the F4U-4 by a bit and has slightly heavier firepower.  In all other ways the F4U-4 is superior.

spitfire's airframe conserves energy much better than the F4U's.

See it more deepens on what airplane you know how to fly better.
In aces high they made the F4U much easier to control than the spitfire 14, so people who don't really know a lot about both airplanes say that F4U is the best.

The 14 is too restricted by that torque Mach. That's what it boils down to.  Everything else (weak wings, contextually weak firepower, etc) is instrumental to its sum inferiority, but nothing else more than it.

The 14 is...restricted by that torque Mach.

True, that is a disadvantage.




Every time I feel bad about it's torque, I just go offline and do 1 take off on a tempest

Fix that, and then you can perk it. Otherwise, unperk it. Its pretty much a weaker 16...

Why does it need fixing?

[FYB]

FIX THE WINGS, try diving and pulling up at speeds regular aircraft won't break.  The wings will be floating behind you, equaling, no wings, no flight, same as death.

Just confused cause you said that quoting my post on its torque.  Can you debunk BnZ's claim that the spit14 can spike 8G at ~500mph with no damage?

yes i have flown the Spit 14 plenty of times and even though i am not as good in a spit as a Hog, i feel that if i were fighting my clone in a Spit 14, i would win.

Don't you mean, It's pretty much a more more powerful 16?

plenty is a point of view? What exactly do you mean?
Do you at least have more than 10 hours in spitfire 14?

I'll probably end up flying the Spit14 to burn my perks back to 0 to see what's so special about it. Losing 262's is too boring cause you run out of perks too quick.
