Lol, the spit-twits top the list with their EZ mode plane. Wish I could say I didn't see that one coming. When will the community nut-up and fly a plane that take some skill to fly in the LWMA
?
Spits are actually fairly easy to fight.
1. Look for the pilots skill level. If you have any amount of patience, you can observe how your opponent flies his spit, look for weaknesses...
2. Which is all abouth the next step. The spitfire is good at everything...but not really great at anything. Likely you are in a plane that is either faster, or turns better, or climbs better, or has superior armament. A spitfire is also not exactly known for its "toughness" particurally regarding it's wings.
3. Know your enemy...Know exactly WHAT spit it is you're facing, there is a big difference between a spit9, 16, and a seafire (i suspect this has alot to do with the "invincible status" alot of pilots tend to give it. I.E. grouping the best feature each model has to add all into one.
4. Know you're own aircraft.
A F4U-D can deploy flaps and actually has an edge Vs a spit16 in an all out turning contest, a spit9 less so, but it is faster than both.
Any model zero has superior turn performance, and you would be surprised how many spit pilots forget this.
A Ki84 has the advantage in the vertical Vs anything except maybe a spit14.
Would a Spit pilot be intellegent to headon a n1k2 or a Fw190? more importantly, how likely is he going to try (i.e. #1) and can you use that to get an edge on the merge?
Like the Brewster, which also has a strange reputation as being "uber" They are actually fairly easy to beat. especially since they are very common aircraft in the MA, a pilot should have plenty of expierence facing them.
Planes that scare me...
109K4, it's fast, is often flown by expierenced pilots, it accellerates stupidly quick, climbs like a homesick angel, and is a total speed demon down low. If I screw up against one of these, I'm not going to likely get away. By far I hate to see these.
P38's, sounds stupid, they're such an easy target it's embarrasing. Except when after the first merge and yyou're going straight for the kill and you realize the pilot actually knows how to fly a 38

They are such a strange aircraft that I havent figured out how to counter whatever it is the ace 38 pilots have figured out.
La7's are particurally nasty. It's one of the fastest planes in the game, owns the vertical, and is very maneuverable. Thank god its guns are so bad they would almost be better off tossing a rock at you. Someone experienced in these are my biggest threat. And it's very difficult to get away even if you start with the upper hand. Kind of like the K4, except this monster can turn!
Eseentially ANYTHING flown by an expeirenced pilot will waste me, but as for spits, hurri2c's Brewsters...(U know, the cheeter aircraft

) Not so much, unless I screwed up somewhere these really are not much of a threat.
