Spit16 vs. Flopping Dead Fish

[Bruv119]

yes I was shamelessly outed by Zack1234,  

I take a long hard dump before my sorties resulting in a couple lbs worth of weight removed from the plane. This in turn allows my plane to become almost un-imaginably faster and climbs that much better.  

It's almost like saying Douglas Bader was a hack because he had no legs and could therefore turn that little bit tighter without blacking out.    

notorious hack squad indeed

Or It could be people who are friends of Bruv(I think hes the hacker)  and he's shared his  weight decreasing hack code.

What the brewster knows much better than any other aircraft (even the zeek) is:
remaining fully controllable and steady avan at very low speed, nose up. So while in the 109, i cant really do the hammerhead reverse under 75-80mph, also losing the ability to aim properly under 95-100 (when they rope me), the brew can follow me up all the way and shoot my tailwhipping arse when hes doing 55-60mph, and only stalling out after that - resulting that my opponent can stay nose-up much longer.

Its odd.

Anyway, i just freakingly dont care what you are flying as long as youre not playing the sissy pick n run game. If you need the spix to be able to turn, take it then.

You could be providing a short cut for a firing solution, if you simply pull straight up in an aircraft with one on your 6 you are not really climbing ie using your lift to get vert, you are giving them a shortcut to an easy firing solution, if your plane has a better engine spiral up and then go pure vert right at the top, then its thrust vs thurst, the bigger engine will win nose straight up.

 If the Brewster was such a great plane why was the Finns reequipping their fighter units with the ME-109s as fast as they could? As for the Spit16 I like the 8s and 9s better personally. When I see a Spit16 nine time out of ten the guy in it can't fly it because so many new guys use it. But the tenth guy that can fly the 16 watch out it is a great plane in the right hands. I don't use Spitfires much because they seem frail to me. If I get a few hits on my Spit the wings fall off or the tail or some other vital part.

What is the difference between the AH Spit9 and Spit16?

In RL, the only real difference was the Spit9 used a R-R merlin and the Spit16 used a Packard Merlin.

 I don't know why I like the 8 & 9 better than the 16. They seem to handle better for me and it could be just my perception in the planes. I am no expert plus my frame rate is so low and I have so much lag it is hard to tell. I also prefer the ME109F-4 and g-2 of all the 109s but it is still just my opinion on any of these planes. Some of it comes from flying light light planes like the Taylorcraft BL-65 with light responsive controls.

Depends on the Spitfire Mk IX.

The Spitfire Mk IX used the Merlin 61, 63, 66 and 70.  The Spitfire Mk XVI used the Merlin 266, a Packard built version of the Merlin 66.

The Spitfire Mk IX in AH uses the earliest Mk IX engine, the Merlin 61 and thus represents the Spitfire Mk IX as introduced in July of 1942.  For the later, more common Merlin 66 powered Mk IXs the Spitfire Mk VIII (Merlin 66 in AH) or Spitfire Mk XVI (Merlin 66 in AH, not 266) ought to be used instead.

should I report, laugh, or cry? I guess all 3 would work too

Obviously Laugh if you had any sense of humor or satire. Why so defensive guys?

I dont think thtas normal maybe more fibre and more regular sessions would be advisable.

The Great Karnak......... It's still an opinion.......right, wrong or indifferent...... it's his opinion and he's entitled to it........ You may disagree, even present facts to change his opinion, but in the end it's still an opinion.......

I see you have issues on being wrong............

Frequently, opinions are conclusions drawn without complete knowledge or understanding... Within the context of an aircraft's easy to define performance, opinions are often based upon perceptions, and thus are prone to error. Therefore, it is often frustrating to interact with folks whose opinion is based upon perception rather than fact, especially when they are very strident in that opinion.

I will often invite folks to the TA, where we can explore performance without having to re-plane when hit. That's a great place to settle performance disagreements.

Im secrue enough with the fact Im not gay to say even if  I was you wouldnt get any. Who would date a sped that has to hack?
