My Favourite Aircraft:
The Spitfire Mk IX, Whilst I'm not often seen in the MA with it because of it's short legs and the fact the engine is geared for higher altitude performance. The LW monsters will just out pace it down low.
The reasons I love this plane are simple, It can perform a wide variety of ACM at very short notice and packs a killer punch. My favourite kills are often barrel defences with a snapshot to the opponents head. Whilst this move can be done in all other aircraft it is never as fluid and peachy as with a Spitfire mk 9.
Also I feel that it is has the best overall attributes to complete Mitchell's hard work from that very initial design. This is a plane that says "come at me bro, I'm going to give you a 1 , 2 in the tower punch"
