After reading this thread. I went to the game and immediately upped a Spit 16. With it I sunk a carrier

in a strafing attack. No really I actually got the kill.

Then I shot down my normal favourite ride, a Corsair, then flew to an enemy base and killed a P51 that foolishly tried to HO me. Not only that I actually landed both kills.
So I'm now a Spit dweeb.

You have to say it. The real Spitfire is a great aircraft, easy to fly, manoeuverable and with good armament. The game version only reflects that.
I'll fly it more often now

particularly for furballs.
