But ENY values are based on the plane, not the pilot.  Regardless of how many 14 drivers you could get together and track it would still be such a small portion of the overall K/D for the plane.  

The 14's perk value is based on how it outperforms the 16 above 20k more than anything else I feel............  Now an cool stat to look at (which I don't think we can) is altitude of kills and compare that to the 16.

All this time I thought the perk value was based on how much coffee it could carry over a set distance at a set altitude.

my one flight last night consisted of me flying in at 17k, picking one enemy, then defending a Vbase at around 5k and killed 4 more at approx that alt. it flies like a p51 and 51s can do well at these alts also. the spit14 also keeps up with 51s at this alt like a spit16 would and is more stable as a firing platform than the spit16. im not just going to pick with the 14.

(also... yes, not anyone could run into a furball in a spit14 and come out alive but its the exact same with tempests, f4u4s and f4u1cs). you cant go into a furball in a tempest and expect to actually  stay there long without dieing. a spit14 has more of a chance than the tempest.
i once dogfighted 6 spixteens n killed 3 before one got me, i was turn fighting w them i was ina 262, try that for making a point

great movie. somewhere in the first draft of that script there must have been a note saying:
 * Insert some random plot device which requires Jenny Agutter to get naked here.

Which begs the question..... are there spit 16 pilots or just folks who ride in them?

Good point.

I always classify the brits as the true spit pilots of the game and all the american spit pilots as just easy mode newbs.   :)

As of now everyone knows about the whiny Spit14 questionable perk. I believe the spit14 should stay perked and for good reason and im going to try and prove my point this tour. as of now for this tour i am 5 and 0 in the spit14 so far and last tour with my limited 2 flights in it i am 5 and 1. im going to try and get the highest K/D i can in the 14 this tour with the most kills possible per flight and i will keep my fighter score as spit14 only as long as i possibly can. <S>

(basically we're about to find out if the perk is worth it or not compared to my flying capability)

Pointless.  It will depend on your style and not on the plane.  Shawk used to have the best K/D in the D9 and Zazan in a Tyffi.  Should those be perked too?  It was their style, not the plane.

I probably have a less than 1 k/d in a lala.  Useless plane ehh?

I have less than a 1 K/D in ANY plane...therefore, I should pay NO perks....ever...for any plane.
