Spitdweeb: Or, what's wrong with flying the Spit?

[grizz441]

or if the plane is a 109k4,  LA7 or Brewster!

Haha no.  You and your ilk get a Spitfire pass, since you seriously mix it up and are also British.  Others?  Not so much.

Many American pilots were lucky enough to fly the Spitfire in battle.    They all said the same thing!  Awesome    <---   I think this word may have even been coined by them when they slid the hood back and stepped out onto the wing.    

It is only right that they share this experience here too.

"Spitfire" always reminds me of Mario after eating that flower. . .

And some british pilots were lucky enough to use high-quality lend-lease equipment from the US. Oh, and also you're welcome for the M4's. I shutter to think how poor your own chassis for the firefly tank would have been.

Why did you post this?

Because he clearly didn't understand the post he quoted.  He seems to have taken it as a slight against American made equipment when it was actually a statement saying it is fine for American players to use the Spitfire in AH as well and not a comment on anything historical in terms of quality.

If the Spit IX was good enough for Gabby Gabreski, then it was good enough for me.

Those poor guys flying P40cs against 109s would disagree with you.  I know they would have preferred Spits.

The tank crew in their "Tommy cookers" probably would too.

Which engine did Gabby Gabreski's Spit IX have?

I'm betting it was a Merlin 66 with a off chance of Merlin 70.  Chances that it was a Merlin 61 or 63 are fairly low.

Probably a Merlin 61 considering when he flew it

It was the easiest for me to learn in. It's fun & easy to fly. A new stick can more quickly get kills to gain the confidence to try more complicated maneuvers, then more challenging birds. It definitely has a special place in the game.  to all Spitfires!

I don't know why but those 20mms go damn fast for me.
