More spitfires?!!
« on: November 25, 2009, 01:52:15 AM »
Yes please,

Can we look at getting perked options for different wing types?  

Like a clipped Spit 5 or a C wing on the spit 9  :t  

Oh and maybe a Spit mkXII   +  a Seafire III.     I would like as many options as possible to fully appreciate the  wonderful progression from the earlier marks to the deadly  150 octane true Late war spits and not the limp wristed slow Spit 16 !

not to forget the trusty old Hurricane IIb   with the mk a,c and D  why skip the B?  The D was just a B with 40mm strapped on an option to remove those for 12x 303's? 

Sea Hurricane?

I take it you like spits!! :D


I am really starting to dig on the 16, I thought the Hurri2C was great for fighting the Horde, the 16 is way beyond that, if I could aim the way some of these guys do,  Cough Grizz,Steve,Cough  I swear I could kill 10 guys all trying to kill me at the same time.
in that ship!  she is  Awesome, plain and simple.
   I cant believe some of the crap I have gotten out of because I was in the 16,  fighting way too many to count, getting 3 scalps, running out of ammo and still being able to RTB.


so ya I like spits also :D

I would agree with giving you two Spitfires for every Mustang added if you let me choose the Mustangs.  :D

When I was working on the default Spit skins I asked if it would be possible to have options for things like different wingtips and air filters (for scenarios) selectable in the hangar. IIRC the answer was that it would not be possible, those items would need a new variant to be added to the game.

The A didnt have cannons. The P-51 did (Mustang IA). The K is the same thing as a D.

I would add the P-51 and the A-36 both but the P-51A might be interesting too. The A-36 would come in handy in North Africa for scenarios and later on in Italy also. I would love to see the P-51 in FSO scenarios as a limited number fast recce but in the mid war arena it would give Typhoons a tough time I think.

Maybe HTC could just create an all Spitfire game for you so you and the rest of the Spitboiz can play in your own sandbox.

Wouldn't be long before the dreaded "boredom" sets in...  :joystick:

The C wing was specific to the Spitfire V which had the A, B and C wings.  The C was also known as the Universal wing and was used on the Spit VII, VIII, IX, XII and XIV.  It was not designated the C wing on them however.  Later the E wing was developed and used on the IX, XVI XIV and did receive the letter designation.

The Spitfire IX we have in AH has the Universal wing already.

As for the Spit XII, I'm all for it as it's my long time history passion.  That being said, there are many other birds that should come first to fill out the plane set before that.

As for a clipped XIV.  They really didn't show up until postwar.  The wartime XIVs had full span wings as they were interceptor/fighters. It was when the jets took over postwar and the XIV got relegated to the ground attack role, that the clipped XIVs were more prevalent.
