Yesterday i upped an il-2 from an almost capped base. Over the town a spitfire tryed to ho me. When he got closer, i could see that he is a spit14. I only could hit him on his 5th pass... So there is a better plane to ho in.  :D

That's because most people take it and expect it to be some uber spit16, while in reality it's totally different.
"Now, if I had to make the choice of one fighter aircraft above all the others...it would be, without any doubt, the world's greatest propeller driven flying machine - the magnificent and immortal Spitfire."
Lt. Col. William R. Dunn
flew Spitfires, Hurricanes, P-51s, P-47s, and F-4s

I'm only worried when spit 16's don't HO.

no need to worry if I'm flying it ;]
Did you see my dad on dogfights yet?
I'll be seeing you face to face possibly next month.

But hoing with an il-2, 5 times in a perked ride? He had balls of iron   ;)
