The P-40 is a turny bird now?  Where's the P-39?  Why is the Spit VIII a hybrid but the Spit IX a turny bird?

La7 isn't considered EZ mode.  Shane will be very pleased to hear that.

The Creton beatdown was interesting to witness and he dissappeared not long after that as just one example that comes to mind quickly...



Creton was hardly one of the "top sticks" except in his own mind.

That's because Grizz's list has no basis in fact other than his own opinion. It's all the counts here anyway right?  :rolleyes:

You have upset INK and I.  Just sayin...

ya man seriously that's why I fly it, it is a very easy plane to fly, that has great climb, great guns, gets fast or slow real quick, turns awesome, the only thing it lacks is high speed "run away" power...which I wouldn't use anyway.

like Grizz said earlier to be competitive in MA you need a good plane....and no I dont believe anyone in a P40 will be competitive in the MA, fighting along side a bunch of green guys not withstanding..... :old:


Ink knows his ride is easy mode, and thats why he can take on 8+ guys and win!

 :rofl

I wish I could do it EVERY time...sad to say my aim is so bad....don't know how many times I said to my self...damn I wish I had Grizz targeting skills...... :rofl

Yes P40 is turny bird.  P39 is off the page in its own "pure crap" circle.  Jk, I forgot about that plane.  Spit 8 is right on the edge of turny bird, probably should be.  Spit16 is close also.  They're right on the edge.  La7 is not a turny bird and it is close to being ez mode, but not quite.  

If I ever redo this diagram into AUTOCad I'll be sure to make these adjustments, as well as listing the planes in order approaching the mendoza line as I see appropriate as well.  Thank you for your input into this most excellent project.

LA7 is most certainly "easy" mode....your getting  :old:

LA7 is the top easy mode ride...it is one of the best turners in game and one of the fastest.....definitely easy mode.

I just can’t believe that not one of these great ones has never showed back up and been significantly good in any way.  Not one.  Not EVER.  Statistically speaking, that is unlikely and points to the more likely conclusion that they just weren’t as good as all the noobs at the time (who are vets now and dumb ppl listen to for some reason) remember them to be.  

The Spit 16 is easy.  The more you people argue that it is not, the more you make yourself look stupid.  I remember Lute arguing that the N1K was hard to fly.  What an ultramaroon...

La7 turns worse than the Ki84.  It is fast but it is not a b&z'r.  If it is simply flown for its speed and its speed alone I agree it is EZ mode, but if it is flown the way it should be flown, it is not EZ mode and falls into our "Hybird" Category.

And to answer your previous question which I was not ignoring, I really don't care anymore in "proving" something I already know to be indisputable fact, and that is, the Spit16, is EZ mode.  That's just my opinion though, there are plenty of Spit16 pilots that disagree with me.  :rofl
