A spixteen is, of the non perked planes, a monstrosity. It can out run, out turn and just plane out maneuver anything that it cant out climb. The thing is a weapon in the hands of anyone with half a clue. If your slapping them out of the sky with a K-4 your finding the ones flown by retards. The only thing a K does better than a spixteen is run and the climb chart looks like a DNA string. It can climb away from a LALA and will out turn one full flaps. It out climbs, out turns (no flaps) and out accelerates a KI-84, beats the crap out of a NIKI in everything but a flat turn, 1D hog can out run it but is meat in a climb fight or anything but a flap turn contest, all a D-pony can do is run away, it out climbs, out runs, out turns, and out accelerates a 38J. Dora? Same as the Pony, it can run away. Don't even bother with a Jug. Yeah, I know, the situation counts for a lot and disparity of pilot skill is always a factor (in anything) but if your saying the spixteen is anything but an evil beast your deluding yourself. And yes, I hate them too.
