Note the lack of a Merlin 61 on that list.

Spit VIII had Merlin 63,66,70 and the Spit IX had the Merlin 61 phased out early in 1943 in favour of the Merlin 63 and 63A

IMHO the Spitfire is the most beautiful aircraft ever.  

I agreed with your post until I got to the above sentence.  Anyone with an appreciation for the beautiful things in life know that by far the most beautiful aircraft ever designed and built was the P-38 Lightning.  Anything else is just an ugly duckling in comparison.

In a few months, we can celebrate 5 years of "Perk The Spit 16!" threads 

Has it passed the previous record holder, the La-7?

HTC decides that the unit is having undesirable effects on the game in its uncontrolled state.

  Talk about begging the question.  What counts as an "undesirable effect?"

[Ack-Ack]

The fact that the more experienced sticks tend to avoid flying the 16 due to the negative stigma that surrounds it.. I.E. that its too easy to fly and get kills in.. tends to back up the OP argument that it is too good and needs to be perked.

Now who's grasping at straws?

Please, enlighten us with how the Spitfire Mk XVI unperked unbalances the game play.

Just look at the C-Hog before it was perked for an example of an "undesirable effect" on game play.

Before there was a XVI in AH?  And is the unperked, pre XVI C-Hog the standard?  If it is, then we can't explain why the XIV is perked, because it would never reach that kind of status.

I know I'm being a pain in the ass.  I'm just trying to point out that what is perked and what is not seems entirely ad-hoc, with no real criteria to determine it.

Unperk the C-Hog!

Forget the spits...perk the trees!
