No wind... no freezing cold... nothing but simple calibration.

No wind is exactly right, so far as I'm concerned, there should be wind on every map, in every arena, and speed and direction should be changing at least daily. As for 4 engined bombers bombing the CV, in real life do ya think they would have made it through the ack @ 3k - 5k ?   I gotta believ the answer is " probably not"

It would be nice to have 5" with contact fuse shells....

Would bring the 5" back in to some of the early time-period scenarios perhaps?

I think the HE 5" shell hitting a plane would just about be the same. The blast radius is still there.

No one every hit a capital ship with four engined bombers, almost all hits were dive bombers and torps.

The attackers aren't supposed to use tactics do defeat a mobile AA threat?  The attackers only supposed to attack one at a time, from the same direction, and preferably in a conga line to make it easier to shoot them down? 

Your complaint is pretty much the same as those that cry about planes bombing their tanks.  The only worth your complaint has is the humor factor when you whine about the changes.

Topic says "Wirbies" and Banshee7 comes in to orally clean HT  exit chamber,, ack-ack.. back to mid-war and "grab-up". Start another topic if you wanna "whine bash" ..Slower turret,, yes... tin foil turret,, yup..i  personally think they should make the turret a little tuffer. Spixteen can still merge a plane doing 350 or better,,reverse and catch it within 60 seconds,, we realllyyy wanna talk modeling here?

SSSHHHHH........ these girls dont want to hear any mention of nerfing a plane......... they need the gv to be easy mode kills to help their SCORES.........

they will sit all day long and tell you about historical modeling and realism until you make a change on any plane let alone the spixteen......... then its whine whine whine

I give up...... and yes ladies in the other thread too even though you are wrong........... let them nerf the GV game and think AH is all about the sky............ then tell us later about numbers

Prove that there is a problem with the Spitfire Mk XVI's modeling with some film in game showing what you claim it can do and real life flight data.  This way we can see if what you say is true or just an example of another player of mediocre skill and ability crying about the Spitfire.
