Without being completely obvious, the Spit XVI is a plane within the plane set within the game and, ENY and World War 2 eras aside, is available in both the MA and DA. If it was not authentic it wouldn’t be in the game, would it? If HTC destroyed the file for the Spit XVI, I would fly a Spit VIII and if that was destroyed a Spit IX and so on. But I don’t believe that will happen. If it does life will go on.
The ME262 is a jet within the World War 2 era plane set that i believe saw more action than the spit16. It is NOT in the DA because it is commonly stated that if it was put in the DA then the lake would become nothing more than a jet-filled furball.
If you were to take a tally of the most flown aircraft in the DA, i'd bet a couple perkies that you'd come up with the spit16 by a HUGE margin.We've both seen how bad that place becomes a spit16 horde.
The lake in the most part is nothing but spit16 territory.
So, in all technicality, the spit16 should be banned along the same lines that the ME262 is banned.
And trying to divert the discussion onto something else isn’t really achieving much. If you want to get into a slanging match, look elsewhere.
Not really, Your asking to take away something i like, so im asking You to take away something you like as well.
I'll admit it, i like f3 mode sometimes. i use it whenever i feel like flying a plane who's cocpit i absolutely hate. (p47D11,p40B,ki-84)
Whenever i get out of a furball, i'll put her on autopilot then go into F3 mode to take a quick look at the aircraft to make sure i dont have any gaping holes in important places.
and sometimes i just cruise along in f3 mode to admire the plane (which i do alot in the G-2) People worry too much about making this game more competitive and less fun. No one forces YOU to fly in f3 mode, so if you don't like it then simply fly in the cockpit.
But like i said, Your asking to get rid of something i like (F3 mode).
so im asking to get rid of something you like (spit16).
