Yes, Spitfires are easy mode.  They were easy mode in WWII as well, and that is a good thing, contrary to popular opinion here.

I like the Spitfire, it's a cute toy, but the 109 is a fighting machine.

As I experiment with different planes, there seems to be perimeters to fights that each is suited for in a rule of thumb sort of way.  As an example I have had great success coming off a carrier with a Seafire and jumping into a furball that is on or very near the deck.  It is slow, turns tight and has canons.  Not much can turn with it.  However, take the fight up a bit and it is in deep trouble.

I can deal with 109s and 190s on the deck easier than I can at 10K.  Any of the planes that have skyrocket like climb rates are hard for me to bet in that 5-10K range.

Unless they are pushed down or caught under a fighter cap, I don't see a lot of 109s and 190s low in my limited experience.

Redbull,  :O.  Yes I have and it wasn't pretty.  :)  

LOL, I said easier, I did not say I could beat them.  I do look forward to encountering good sticks like you and Latrobe.  It makes for good training films for me albeit, they are always short.  Someday though, I hope to give y'all a hard time of it. :)

You're coming along great for how long you've been playing, better than me :)

Well, the trees in AH had such a high K/D ratio I figured a flying one would be a sure winner....  :p

Makes me think of "get me a squadron of Spitfires"

I'm picturing Goering being told his fighters were just slaughtered by toys and then being told "I want a toy too."

Must be where the expression "if looks could kill" came from .

1.  I'd wager that any decline in numbers in 2009/2010 is due to horrible world economy thoroughly kicking in about then.  For example:


2.  Pies are awesome.  I had one last Thursday at the pub (along with chips and a delicious Strongbow cider) and thought of Zack.

3.  The most pie-like aircraft should be the Hurricane (as there were more of them in Battle of Britain).
