Spitfires: The main reason people dont fly them

[mechanic]

The main reason people won't fly a spitfire is because then you have no excuse for why you died.  There is an element of wanting 'more challenge' in there, obviously. There is also the obvious fact that not everyone likes the look of the spitfire (filthy heathens).
 Both these facts fall to the number one fact. It's pretty much just as likely that you will die in most of the spitfires, as say a P40E. If you are marked to be slaughtered in the MA, the plane does not matter much unless you can run faster than everything else. Most spitfires cannot.
 I honestly believe it is mostly that when people fly a spitfire and die quickly, they find themself lacking in any credible excuse.

I don't fly Spits because I don't like them. I fly the P-40E because it's different and decidedly non-uber. I would probably still get pwned flying a Spit16, but at least I can die with dignity. 


EDIT: There is nothing better than beating a Spit in a P-40. Then the Spit driver can't have an excuse why he died.

People don't/won't fly them ? I see hundreds every time I log in.

ah good point Messiah.

Does this mean I cannot believe everything i read on the boards? Are some people saying one thing and doing another?? Perish the thought.

[mechanic]

I love flying my spit8
but they are fragile and need persistence to shoot enemy down
its not one pass boom at all (well sometimes if your lucky)
you have to stick to your enemy's 6 like glue to keep at em ( a lotta fun)
& you have to turn and fight enemy even if you want to flee
limited ammo too if you want to bag a few scalps...
But shes as good looking as an E type Jag
I love my spit

I never fly the Spitfires because they're already flown too much.

Just my way to 'balance' things out
