God I love when jokes fly over someones head, turn back around, and hits them right in the face. You are eather very very slow or just down right dumb.

I don't have to prove anything. Stats show that the temp is very good, and Iv flown it enough to know that those stats are right.

You are entitled to your opinion, but that's all it is, just your opinion, and if you want anyone to listen to it you better know how to prove it.

BTW, stats do not show that it's good.

You can, but you'd be wrong. Seems that's nothing new from the looks of it.

Awwww. :cry




Bottom line is the temp flies circles around the spit14. The stats show that it's better, but you don't want to believe them. Windwing offered to duel you to show you but you ignored him. You're the one acting like a 5 year old with his fingers in his ears screaming because he doesn't want to hear the truth.

If you fly the Typhy then the Tempest straight after it the Tempest feels like a dream it feels sporty and responsive and faster, i dont care much for stats i prefer to get my own feeling with the aircraft although im not saying stats are wrong i just never look at them.

I personally think its one of the best killing machines ingame and if i see one above me in a fight the first thing i do is concentrate on killing it even if im looking at 5 other cons because you know he`s gna be coming in at 400+ mph to pick the watermelon outta ya lol.

He didn't ignore me at all... I have posted films of duels in the Tempest vs Spit14 thread. While the Tempest has a slight advantage, it certainly doesn't fly circles around the Spit14... Machfly is a good pilot to boot...  Having flown both in slow, high AoA dogfights, I think that the 109K-4 would beat either of them.

Kazaa and I had some duels between the k4 and spit 14 several of months ago.  IIRC the spit initially had the upper hand, but as soon as the fight got slow the k4's superior low speed handling really shone.  You cannot throw a spit14 about like you can a 109K.

He ignored you in this thread but not the other. Tempest can turn with the spit14 and can break off the fight anytime, so it does fly circles around the spit since it controls the fight.

109K4 vs spit14 really comes down to the pilot. Iv been on both sides of that fight and really comes down to who makes a mistake first.

And yet the Spit XIV is perked and the Bf109K-4 is not....

The 109K4 is truly an elite A/C and one of my favourite.

Karnak, I myself have no idea why the XIV is perked and the K4 isn’t.

Better yet, why do P-39Q and 109K have the same ENY?

Isn't it obvious? :huh

On the one hand you have point and shoot Hispanos, on the other an exotic tater gun that elicits the zen-like advice "fly the gun, not the plane." :P
