Spitfires in tour 110: Late war
« on: April 03, 2009, 04:16:27 PM »
My Guess was pretty close.
                      KILLS
Spitfire Mk I    292    
Spitfire Mk IX    12,382    
Spitfire Mk V    1,440    
Spitfire Mk VIII    13,523    
Spitfire Mk XIV    1,349    
Spitfire Mk XVI    33,356
                     _________
TOTAL:           64,342


I Would Say some things About the Spitfire...But I Abide By the Fourm Rules. And this Thread would be locked on the first page.

All Spits together (excluding Seafire) have ~15% of total LW kills in tour 110

The P-51D alone as ~10%...

The only one of those that is silly is the XVI.  There's lots of aircraft that perform comparably to the VIII, and the IX isn't running anything down.

The XVI should cost 3-5 perks, as its only weakness is average top speed, which only improves with altitude.

other than being a bit short on ammo the spit 5 is a very capable aircraft that would prolly take out any of the other spits 1 on 1

No plane is shameful.

I'm sure it's all because I decided to spend this tour in Spits and maybe Hurricaines since I haven't flown either very much since I was fairly new...

It took me about three years before I started to give th 16 a bit more attention. Only to be told immediately to stay out of that "EZ mode dweeb ride!".
 
What I found  quite remarkable about this: Many of those saying that to me did claim in other threads on this BBS that "it's all about the pilot, not the plane" when it came to discussing the dangerousness of different fighters in AH... ;)

Seems like more and more people prefer that we all fly the planes that they enjoy not what we like, why not just worry about your ride and others worry about what they do. Personally I don't care what anyone else flys or how they fly it, come in a horde, HO me, it's your choice why should I try to dictate what or how others fly like quite a lot of people here do.

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

+ weak armour, a contribution to why it's my number one kill tour after tour.

Before the Spit5 ammo load was dropped down I used to see more of them than any other Spit. I still enjoy taking one up now and again, my aim is still bad so not as often as I would like.
