It has the lowest k/d of all the perked fighters? Below 1-1 k/d

I dont know exactly what it is, however I bet Lusche has some charts for it.

maybe unperk it because you lost 4 perks when you were shot down?
-1 its the fastest spit in the game and we dont need people flying it constantly...

People fly the XVI because the XIV is perked. I think I like it the way it is. -1

to be honest with you, i say it perk it more, just to stop people from flying it.  that thing must suck because every time i see one they run faster than a 262 diving on a goon.  and this is from a spitdweeb master point of view.

No. Have you ever flown it? It turns like a dog and its only huge advantage is acceleration and climb, in both categories it is outclassed by the K4 which is eny 25.

K4 Eny 20, G14 is 25, but I agree the Spit14 should not be perked.  Eny 10 it.

cool charts, but what can they prove or disprove?  above 30k the spit will be so out of fuel that it is just laughable to think it might go to 40k and if you carry extra tanks then it wont do the climb indicated at the bottom. and using a constant wep line for any plane is misleading, since the wep will run out way before the plane gets to 20k.

so the charts just indicate a very favorable climb, which in terms of ah combat it doesnt mean much, unless of course you are chasing a con all the way up to 40k then again who does that.

Climb rate is one of the if not the most important metric in the LW.

I GOT out climbed by a f4f going 380mph on the deck with a spit14

He must've zoomed. Wildcats should have good zoom.

I think part of the problem is folks fly the Griffon XIV like a Merlin powered Spit.  Torque is the other direction and it's heavier.  It was a great climbing plane and would be used more effectively as a BnZ bird then a turn fighter like it's Merlin powered brothers.
