I've seen that in AH before, usually it happens when the Spit16 is missing a wing and the guy is firing his guns all the way to the ground.

I was a 16 against a 5, and its manual trim with flaps, and massive throttle control. And beer to replensih the sweat. I'd be willing to do some TA/DA/MA training with you in the Spit16. About the only spit I fly. Learning the K4 right now, but you can PM here or in the MA. In game name Floatsup.

Cheers  :salute

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

Since as long as I can remember (AOL Beta days) I have always flown the FW190 but I am getting tired of the run and gun style...

The Spit 16 has peaked my interest, anyone willing to show me how to turn fight it with? I recently saw a Spit 16 out turn fight a Spit 5 was wondering how the pilot managed this?

Also what planes can the Spit16 out run? (use to the Dora I could outrun alot)

The Spixteen isn't made for running...why not use a 190 if you continue to run?

Dont assume i ment "running away" there is occasional times when you have to chase a plane who is running...I'd like to know on the deck who can i catch up to.

DVDA,
You'll find that posting on these boards will always produce at least a couple dumbarse replies.  Thankfully there are some helpful folks in here too.  Good luck with the Spit16 and might I suggest also trying the F4U-1A or 38 L/J?  Better range and ammo loadout (IMO) than the Spitty and a good stick in one can do that turning fight business quite well.

Don't take this as gospel.. some speeds may be off 1-2mph.

Lusche, why is the Ki84 missing from your fancy bar graph?  Is there some deep seeded Freudian thing going on that we should know about?  How do you feel about your father?  :D

My excuse: Based on old data, just didn't realize Ki-84 is missing.  :noid
