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.

 :confused:
Why not dogfight in a temp? you won't lose your perks as fast as in a 262, but faster than in spit 14.

Not sure yet. Undecided if I'm deleting my account for a few months or not...game just isn't what it used to be, probably never will be but I've got some hope I guess. Could dogfight in a temp I suppose.

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.

Did you try true energy and the corkscrew?
Must say though that the F4U as it is now, is one  #### pain ;)

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Only this weekend I realized how much bigger the F4U is than a spitfire.

Soda's writeups are good but not perfect.  The Ta152's not exactly accurate either.

Moot can you expand further on the TA152, its quite an intresting plane and I would like to fly it more

Spits are one of the easiest aircraft to take down once you get a shot.  F4U's will take all sorts of 50 cals before they lose anything important.
yeah

i once took both wings of a spixteen with 2 hits from my hispano cannon
