the best spit

[Dichotomy]

8 for me.  Just because it's what I spent most of my first year in

i spent most of my first years in the hurricane. would probably explain why i sucked in the spit1 last night, and kicked bellybutton in the hurri1.

spit 8 and 9 

8 has way more fuel for MA use but rolls slower than the 9

16 is great with 3 bombs for base defence.

All amazing aircraft a joy to behold and fly.   AT the hands of a master stick they are truly unstoppable and piss over everyone else with great joy.

i almost was gonna switch, as sides were uneven...but they evened out......as usual, i'm always willing to keep sides even by switching....

Spit 1 is the best.

I love thie Spit 8 the mostestess.  However I love watching Peppr maul all you pilets in her Pink 9 the bestestess.  She giggles when she kills you, awesome.

The 8 and 9 are in the lead. (I think)

My favorite spit is the V ... I did spend a bit of time in the IX when I first started out but now prefer the V

Of the spits in game the best clearly is the 16 but I prefer the 5 or 9 personaly.

+1

SpitV is great. up, land a few kills, repeat...

Spit14 is my favorite spit actually because people dont expect much from it even though it can out do a P51 at alt easily and fight 1 on 1 with it on the deck and still possibly take it out. compared to the other spits though the 14 succumbs to them at lower alts but rips them apart at higher elevations. In a sense im an alt dweeb

if the spit pilot is good the 16 give me the most problems in my k4. The only advantage I have is that I can dump e faster and possible regain it slightly faster... other than that.. its a very rough fight.

The Spit XIV is great fun when flown according to the historical pilots notes, with particular attention to boost settings:
- bottom tank for takeoff
- maximum of +7 boost to avoid tire wear :-) on takeoff
- +12 boost up to 1000 feet, then set to +9.
- at 2000 feet switch to external tank
- +9 boost in the climb to prefered altitude, fly at 12k-17k or 21k+, as  between about 19-21000 feet the supercharger will need to change gears (boost pressure drops rapidlyaround 20k)
- continuous power i.e. flying level, set to +7 boost
- if you need to conserve fuel, set +7 boost and lower the RPM until a stable 200 mph cruise.
- avoid full boost (+12) unless in combat and dont use WEP for more than a few minutes at a time (+18 boost chews the fuel and overheats the motor quickly)

Using the above settings, I have flown for a very long time, long enough to escort bombers on the climb, engage interceptors, return to formation and escort them home. Seemed like an hour.

what is the best spit? In everyone's opinion, what do you think it is and why?

The one Leviathn or Drex is in.    No one else comes close.
