Sandwich, you moron. If they unperk the Spit 14, thats all we'll ever see. Instead of HO'ing spit XVI's, we'll have HO'ing spit XIV's.
That's a funny joke

it would be less of a threat - that XIV nose is hard to tame :(

Yes, the spit 14 has one of the longest noses in the game. But can you honestly say you would rather have spit 14's dominating the arena rather than spit spit 16's?

I have found that spit 14's are much harder to fight in the hands of a better pilot then spixteens, It might be just because more inexperienced pilots generally fly the 16, but I have flown both and id take 14>16 any day of any week

agreed. I've killed a spit 14 with a P-40E. Even with 2 other guys, he was a hand full.
