Love that autocorrect!  :lol

You've never proven anything to me that i can remember. And I'm entitled to my opinion no matter how many times you come on these message boards and tell me I'm wrong. Insulting me is not helping your cause.
You may have whatever opinion you want, but calling it an "opinion" as a method to give it validity is a false argument.  The facts are that you are wrong.

You may have it as your opinion that the Earth is flat and the Sun orbits the Earth, but you would also be wrong.

If you post opinions that are wrong, don't get bent out of shape when others point out that you are wrong.

Sigh...I can say that it SEEMS the sun revolves around the earth even if I know it not to be true. You don't SEEM to understand that. All you ever do is chime in and say I'm wrong. You never site any this proof you speak of anywhere (at least not to me). Maybe you have me confused with someone else. HT is not infallible. This game is not the end all be all of WWII aviation. One example is the adjustment to the P-40 when they updated the art. If the flight model was perfect to start, why adjust it? Perhaps it SEEMED to perform outside its envelope? Just the same way the Corsair SEEMS to turn a little better and be more stable than the real thing was reported to be.

So why don't you just get off my ankle and do something usefull like look up the word opinion.

Late Spit XI's (Spit16 is one version) were truly uber in R/L too. There were no other aircraft, allied or axis, that could match them in a dog fight.

Then why are they apparently F4U, Ki84, G14 and K4 fodder in this game?

Rhetorical question. Each of those excells in a small window of opportunity the spit16 can be pulled into becasue the average unwary spit16 pilot beleives in the overall manuverability of the spit16 against almost the whole plane set rather than his experience. I still wonder how 150 Octane would help the spit16 and spit8 perform on WEP in our normal low level armed synchronised aerobatics competitions. You might hold directional control longer at the end of the verticle flaps out & WEP dancing contest with a G14 or K4.

Maybe in a head on pass.  Otherwise, it can't chew well enough in any category.

Of all the spits,with exception of seafire,the pixiteen is the easiest kill.

You indeed can say what ever you want. Makes you sound just as clueless though.

Karnak,

Here's an opinion...............you're an obstinate, rude, opinionated, pigheaded inflexible, adamant, rude, insolent, impolite, offense and intolerant individual......Oh yeah, you have way too much time on your hands

An opinion doesn't have to be based upon fact.......Someone as obviously smart as you are should know this!!!!

Another thing I like about the 16.  You can carry 3 bombs and still outfly a lot of other light fighters.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

No, it doesn't, but trying to say "It is my opinion and why do you insult me based on that." to try to validate themselves after posting it on a public forum is not a rebuttal.  It is an false claim that everybody has opinions and they are all equal.  That is false.  If your opinion is wrong, it is wrong.  If you don't want your opinion to be commented on, don't post it on a public forum.

It is not my fault he is wrong, stated his wrong "opinion" in a public place and is thin skinned.  I had every right to post a correction.  We don't need that kind of misinformation being perpetuated.
