Mustang Mk I

[Steve]

Lol steve thats what I want the 51's to do I want them to scrub E mercilessly to try and stay with me. I can do a many a useful tactic to out turn or overshoot and land on their 6 for a bit just landing the hits from that super accelerating runstang is oh so difficult.

Well if we're 1v1 I'll stay behind you and kill you.  If there's a group of bad guys around, I won't bother fighting you, I'll just shoot you down real quick  and reset for the next guy.   

[Ack-Ack]

Then explain to me how and why spit 16 can be in the game with that little of combat hours, that's only a day and a few hours past. Every other plane in the war saw over atleast well over a year of combat. What's the name of the website? I want to see it, I've seen nothing at all when I search spit 16.

Again, that was the service life of one Spitfire Mk XVI.  Do a search for the story of 'The Manston Spitfire - TB 752' and you'll see that you are incorrect about everything you posted about the Spitfire Mk XVI, especially the part on the kills.

How can that be when he hasn't even added in a decent two cents yet?

[phatzo]

Cost me a lot more than two cents in time reading.

And again, anything that sees less than 30 hours of combat shouldn't be in a game, that's like saying put the centurion tank in the game even though it didn't see any action in WWII.

Nice job finding it on the website, still saw no kills recorded.

Numpty the XVI is an LFIXe. The LFIXe was in service in early 43. The only dif is the XVI has an American made engine. Now go play in traffic.

[THRASH99]

You'd be wrong on that.  It's a Spitfire LFIXe.  The top one is a Spitfire LFXVIe.  Same airframe.  Only difference being the engine is an American made Packard Merlin 266 while the IXe had a Rolls Royce made Merlin 66.  Same performance, same bird.

The XVI went into service in late 44 btw seeing service with numerous squadrons of 2 TAF.

And how can you tell that the 9 model is on the bottom just by looking at the outside of the plane?

.303s instead of .50s.

[THRASH99]

.303s instead of .50s.

Congrats, I think I know that. You can't just tell which is which, both planes and guns look the same.

Seriously, do you read anything about the planes in this game?  I don't know why you keep insisting that the Spitfire Mk XVI only had less then 30 combat hours, when it maybe true that individual planes may not have had more than 30 combat hours but as a type, the Spitfire Mk XVI did have more than 30 combat hours.

In addition, your claim that the Spitfire Mk XVI had no kills is also proven wrong if you look at the history of TB 752.

TB 752 scored 4 kills before the war ended, Me 109, FW 189, FW 190 and He 111.

Here is a painting of TB 752's last recorded kill.

I can see the difference in the guns.

Numpty see the little squares on lower plane outer wings? .303s
None on the top plane.

Care to guess where the .50s are located?

He's still unable to tell which one of the P-51s Guppy posted is a B and which one is the C.

That would be the point.  They are identical.  Unless you know the timeframe of the photo, squadron and serial number, you won't be able to tell a Spitfire LFIXe from an LFXVIe.  Again the only difference is where the engine was made.

With the P51B vs P51C, again there is no difference outside of which production plant made them, Inglewood or Dallas.

This just can't be that tough to comprehend.
