I've always been a Spit afficianado and the IX and the XVI have always gotten the most use of any other planes by me.

Last camp I flew the XVI almost exclusively.  This camp I'm running through the plane-set trying for at least a couple of kills in every fighter and attack aircraft.  I'm finding that after only a month of flying the XVI regularily I've become ham fisted.  Not a good thing but I'll get it worked out.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Stop ragging on him.  He is still learning and the Spit XVI is good for that.

I up a P-47 d-11 or a Corsair now and again.

I just feel the Spixteen ist Uber Alles.

Can't really see any plane as better though, except for hauling bombs.

Try flying the P38 if you really want a challenge! Ive shot down my fair share of Spixteens the past couple of tours. Once you figure out the P38, you wont wanna go back! Hehehe.

His challenge is trying to get a K/D ratio over 1.0 at the moment.

Fly against m00t in his 190.....Dare I say A8 even and see what you think of the spit..........   :lol

It really comes down to the stick you face, not the ride.  You... Will improve faster in something you have to think about then simply "merge, turn, kill"

You fail and put m00t deep in a hole with that comment! :rofl :rofl :rofl

m00t would get his 190A8 pwnt by a half competent player in an XVI.

the 16 is great for fighting the hourde, but like others have said it is a very easy plane to fly in the right hands its almost untouchable, same as LA-7.(which I love)

Spit-16 should be able to destroy the 109-k4 or g-14 easily, again it does depend on who is in each plane, A noob in a 16 should loose to a vet in 109.

keep at it and have fun that is what matters.

Change that:
109G14>spit16

Ill take it a step further:

109F-4 > Spit16.

Well... at least when the Spit driver thinks that ACM = roll 90 degrees + yank.  Thankfully, that seems to be the extent of the knowledge demonstrated by 16 drivers.

The exception... and this is a great move... is the "merge-with-less-E-and-pull-a-180-degree-turn-and-follow-a-109K4-straight-up-without-any-perceivable-loss-in-E" maneuver.  I believe its called the "Anti-Gravity Drive Engage" maneuver, for short.

Love that one.

Spit 16? Why? Do you open your letters with a wimpy pen knife? Do you wear flip-flops to the shower stalls while camping? Do you turn traction control on when it drizzles?

Do you want to fly a plane that'll give you a full chest of hair after one flight? Howabout speeds that not only leave the Spits in the dust, but makes their eyes crosses with inverted-gull wings. Who needs cannon when you got 6 machine guns that chop up planes like buzzsaws? Howabout something that'll make you drink Jack Daniels straight and complain that the bottle wasn't big enough?

Thats right, I'm talking about the Corsair. You're not FLYING the Corsair, you're asking, nay, pleading it to fly with you. The Corsair doesn't give two rat butts about what you're doing. Its going to fly, roll, shoot down and zoom and boom on its own. The pilot is only needed because the Corsair can't raise or lower its gear by itself...YET.

Not being nice enough to the plane? It'll kill you. It will straight up say "How DARE you." and plunge right into the ground. It is like this from sunup to sundown. Forget its birthday? You're dead. Accidentally kick it? You're dead.

Other planes straight up try to fight you because its a Corsair. Why? Because its a challenge to shoot down. It looks so damn mean and unconventional that pilots will risk being a conductor to 59 LA-7's to try and shoot down a Corsair. The Corsair doesn't care, it puts on its bulletproof vest every morning.

Ever got on a plane's six in a Corsair? Thats not fuel leaking out of the enemy plane, thats plane urine. You don't have to shoot for that to happen. The Corsair is loud and in your face. The Corsair is that loud frat boy that lifts 500 lbs everyday and slaps the sorority girl on the bellybutton each time he walks past her. Carriers in the Pacific BANNED them because the other planes couldn't sleep because the Corsair constantly DRANK and PARTIED.

The Spit 16. Hmph. The Corsair would see it in the hallway and shove it into the locker. Where the Spit16 may have a sharp knife to kill you with a few jabs, the Corsair carries a CHAINSAW. And its on, ALL THE TIME.

So when you're picking a plane, scroll up. All the Corsairs are good. They're a group of brothers that know their specialty and brag about it CONSTANTLY. You got the 1A which loves to just straight up FIGHT. The 1D which loves to blow stuff up. The 1C spent the summer overseas and brought back some toys to shoot some planes down quicker. The -4 is the kid brother that wants to succeed and the -1 is the one that marries the nice girl next door and turns her into the hottest skank in the town.

So what is it going to be? The Pointdexter or the Whiskey-chugging maniac with a chainsaw?
