definitely perked. I wouldn't mind it replacing the useless spit14  :lol

You're greatly overestimating the Spit XII.  Perked in mid-war, sure.  Late war, why?

When the RAF was testing the Merlin 25 Mosquito VI they used a Spitfire XII as the opposition.  The Mosquito was able to accelerate from a fast cruise and escape before the Spitfire XII could get into firing range.

The Griffon III and IV produced, IIRC, ~1,700hp, not the 2,050hp that the Spitfire XIV's Griffon 65 produced.

Ok but at what altitudes? The engine on the XIV is a beast but at high altitudes,  and I understand that the XII was optimised for low to medium alts like the spitXVI, I'd like to see how the XII compares with the XIV at 10K.

Wait a second... so the spit12 with its bid and heavy Griffon engine wasnt more powerful than the spit8/16 with their merlins?
Then its speed would be close to the spit8/16, would climb worse than them and would turn worse and with a bigger radius than the spit14?
Then thats definiately not perked, not even ENY 5.

Spit is not easy to fly! Jeese, fly it agresivly and I garentee that you wont be able to. It tailcoats everywhere.If anything spits should be easy to kill. If it is so good then only the noobs will fly it and if you cannot beat a noob...sorry for you

uh...hate to disagree but, when i want to dirty myself a bit, i'll grab a seafire or spit8 and fly just as aggressively as i do in a 109...i rarely if ever make it back to base either way just because i'm too aggressive but, i find spits very much easier to fly than any luftwaffe planes.

I'm complete opposite, I suck in spits can't fly them, only reason I would fly a spit is because the 9 is the squad plane.

The 12 is a real monster at the low alts most people are fighting at in the MA, the whines it create would be deafening. If they add the Spit12, at least the Spit16 whines would go away, I suppose that is favorable.   :D
