Ive always flown planes that are "not easy" (in noob terms) Jugs, 190A5, Yak, 38, 109F... etc etc... planes that are effective and lethal (especially the yak) but not typically easy to get kills in for a new player.. I did this out of necessity, having flkow bish a LONG time, I was never too thrilled about the idea of getting really good in a 5 eny ride, only to not be able to use it when needed most, so I stick strictly to 20+ eny planes.
But today Ive been flying the Spit 9.. and I love it, but.. its a forbidden love... like a really really hot 2nd cousin.
I like how it feels, how it reacts to inputs.. its not so much its performance numbers. but that it behaves the way I feel it will.. Its hard to explain..
I'm having a conflict within.. its 20ENY.. so.. but its a spit.. but its not the best turning, fastest, or best armed... it short legs It has plenty of shortcomings, and is not "spuer fantastic l337 dawg" like some other planes (appear)
spits get no love.
But I think its ok, I own my spit guilt, it doesent own me. I can stop flying it any time I want. Just not today.. tomorrows not looking good either.
