Wouldnt we all? How about perking the Spit16 instead? Besides, the 16 outturns most aircraft, out accelerates most, out climbs most, out dives most, and out rolls most. Not to mention uber firepower. It needs perked.

You just hate it when you get killed by one  :cry

By perking the spixteen you wouldn't give noobs a chance.

There's like 4 other variants of the Spits that noobs can fly. But of course I get upset when I get shot down by a Spixteen. But then again, I always shoot down my fare share of Spixteens. Usually resulting in an "Im naked" PM from me!  :D

I wouldn't mind every noob in spit8, it has less firepower and doesn't roll like a 190.

Still seems odd the XIV is perked when the K4, which performs similarly or better in almost every way isn't even a 5 or 10 ENY  :noid :noid

Spixteens are great perk farms. Another reason why they should not be perked  :devil

I was unaware only noobs were allowed to fly the spixteen.

I was unware that that how much it would help a noob was a factor in plane perkage. Judging by the DA lake, unperking Temps would also helps noobs.

And yes, the SpitXIV cost should either be drastically reduced or eliminated.

5 ENY plane a good perk farmer?  :headscratch: I doubt that. I fly the P38s and average about 5+ perks per sortie on low numbers side. On a good day I can rack up well over 50 perks.

Still seems odd the XIV is perked when the K4, which performs similarly or better in almost every way isn't even a 5 or 10 ENY  :noid :noid

Well keep in mind that that K4 has the 37mm. Its ballistics are terrible compared to the gun platform to that of the Spit14. Turn rate of the K4 is also inferior to that of the Spit14. Engine torque also seems to be more of an issue to the K4 than that of the Spit14.

Now that's a bunch of nonsense.

My opinion: Unperk the XIV and F4U-1C, leave the XVI alone.

next time you "experts" get into a furball  :uhoh, look around and you'll see about 3 or 4 of you trying to turn with some plane and along comes the spit and takes your kill with one turn   :neener:

funny.  Your spot on I remember  playing around with a B38 and was having a cracking fight with someone i can't remember now.  I wore him down to the point of me about to shoot and I see one of ghostCDB's noob squeaker squadmates fly in with a spit 16 spraying over my shoulder for the kill. 

He then quickly went back to base to land his 2 kills  I was like   :furious   then he has the cheek to advise me that I should finish my kills quicker! nearly fell out of my chair laughing at that comment.
