As this could be deemed to be directed at my beloved Few,   Last tour (facts);

Total Kills in all Spitfire models    1465
Total kills in Spit 16                    163           :aok   :rolleyes:

Actually wasn't even thinking of the few when I wrote that comment. But its concevable that there are spitfire fanatics out there who aren't in the Few, you know  :rolleyes:.

ROFL...really....Mr. I need my K4 and anything less is a hanger queen.

In my view your a noob if you sit at the Tank spawn waiting for some unsuspecting person to spawn out, so you can set off the 4th of July fireworks display, whack them over the head and call it a tank battle. Then you other 20 countrymen at that spawn can all tell eachother how good of a tank battler you all are.


The only thing that makes a plane or tank dweebish is the person behind the controlls.


LOL!!! you really need to get your little rice-paper panties out of a bunch there. I pointed out your balsa wood Ki-43 isn't as hot as you would like us to think, so sue me.

Just because I enjoy tanking, and its my best skill in the game, doesn't mean I'm inept with fighters. And tank fights aren't limited to the spawns. But I guess twits like you without the brass to step into a real tank fight wouldn't know that, now would you.

And as to the K4, its the best 109, but its not even my favorite, the E/F-4 are. Its merely the best for many comparisons and illustrations, and so comes up a lot. Does the fact that the A6M and spitfire are brought up a lot in turn fighting mean that those who bring them up think everything else is a hanger queen? No, you idiot, it just means that the Zeke or Spit illustrates a point.

You stick to bumping threads with picture spamming, and I'll stick to my own business.

So your saying you agree that a 109 is easier then a spit?

109 is capable and easy if you know the plane.  A Spitfire is easy and capable if you don't know the plane.  Both are exceptional if it's an experienced pilot and they know the plane.

I'd give spit hands down win if it was 2 noobs of 1 day, 1 in a 109K and the other in a Spixteen were to go at it.

I'd also give the spit a hands down win if it was 2 noobs of 1 day and they were both trying to successfully land their plane with the gear and propeller intact.

That being said, I can't fly the spit for beans.  I can fake the 109 decently enough though.   :salute

Always keep in mind that the other guy's plane is always better then yours and easier to fly.  That way when you beat him, you can claim to be a superior pilot, and when you lose you have an excuse :)

^Nail on the head.^

I love a quote I read a couple of weeks ago by LW type when I enquired about him flying Allied.
His quote...

We are used to disadvantages and enjoy winning despite of them. I would be embarrassed to lose this if I was Allied.
Plus, if I liked cakewalks I would've went with the squad name "Skill-less twits in Fast Rides."


The best part of this is he proudly displays a 262 in his avatar.  :lol

As far as Spits... I suck in them I never live long enough to get a kill much less RTB.

The Spitfire is too unstable for the way I fly. The stall I call the 'Sopwith Shuffle' is damn annoying. I sought solice in the 109s.




The Spitfire isn't dweeby, it's the fleshy n00by thing inside the C-pit that is.

OK, you all have convinced me.  I usually fly Hurricanes but I'm making April "Spit Dweeb Wanna-be" month.  A whole month of flying spits.

I just have one question.  For a non spit flyer which model would be the best to start with?

Mk VIII is the one to start with, in my opinion.

I must be the worst Spit driver ever.  My all time K/D is 2-4 times higher in the FW190A-8 that it is in the Spit XVI.  I guess I'll just keep trying and trying and one day I'll figure that Spit out.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
