Spit 16 does take little skill to fly. 

  When it can be considered easy to win against those kind of odds, and not challenging at all its definitely the plane.

 The spit 16 takes little to no skill to fly.

Yet it offers noobs a chance to get some kills so it has a role in the stable.

Its a lot easier to win those 5v1s or better in a spit 16 than a 38 imo and I believe the spit 16 is a joke for that exact reason.  When it can be considered easy to win against those kind of odds, and not challenging at all its definitely the plane.

You must be the best pilot ever in AH if every 5:1 or better is no challenge to you.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Lev was a respected player and he could pretty much out fly anyone in a Spitfire.

Stick I have flown the A20 on several occasions. I find it to be a nice plane against fighters or bombers. I have tried several other planes and they seemed very quick and easy to maneuver. I believe that the folks who fly the more challenging planes, whatever that may be, will find the other aircraft rather user friendly.

I agree Shuffler.. What I was trying to say was regardless of what plane anyone fly's most people have a fav and they tend to stick with it. So saying a person should challenge themselves to something harder cause they fly a spit or what ever is a mute point. If you fly any plane long enough you will get good in it,
and I believe that is what most people in here strive to do......get good in a plane.... any plane.

Once you get good in a plane its alot more fun then. It becomes second nature, hence not as challenging any more as it once was when you first learned to fly it. So when guys say fly something more challenging I ask them to do the same.
A guy who flys nothing but P-51 could find a spit or a Hurri a "challenge"

Sure, but I'd be trying to get a transfer to a Mosquito unit as that had a very significantly lower loss rate.

There you go that's a little better. The real question is why do you care what I think? Your trolls are getting sad Mrs. akak I think you need some more pratice.

I don't care what you think as an individual but I am curious as to why you and others keep crying about those that fly the Spitfire.  But as I can see how you've been dancing around the questions I asked, you really don't have an answer yourself.

Please post a film of you winning a 5v1 in a Spitfire Mk XVI and show us all how easy it is.

And Shane is respected in the La7.

Both planes are clearly uber rides but, if they are flown in a manner not consistent with dweebery, I have no problem at all being shot down by them.

Beyond that, Levi's ride was a Spit V, not a XVI.  Pretty big difference.

He was flying the V before the XVI came out and stopped flying before the XIV came out. Never the less ... he continued to fly the "Spit" back then when it was also considered "dweeby" to fly any Spit.

With that, I saw him summarily dismiss many a player (over and over) and never once did I see him get called out on "All/200" as being a dweeb.

Help me understand something ... "flown in a manner not consistent with dweebery" ... how exactly does one fly a Spit in a dweebery manner ?

              In response to the original post I'll take one of them new fangled Tempest mk Vs please :)

              In response to the spit bashing the only things that piss me off about them is when they take a Tater and spring a fuel leak and the Spit pinweel ( you've all seen this). The little cartoon pilots brain;s have to be a pile of mush after that LOL

Very similar to the Luftweenie "land trout" maneuvers ?
