We could used these on AH.  Anybody guess what they are and for what?

I stand corrected, they are rocket rails!

My favorite WWII fighter, and IMHO the best prop fighter of that war. The bubble-topped and clipped Spitfire Mk XIV.

I should fly the spit 14 more in the MA. But every time I get around to learning it, it gets ENY locked and I am back in my trusty Mossie VI that never ever gets locked, yet kicks tuches just the same.

Mosquito VI - twice the spitfire, four times the ENY.

Sure is! Spit is one of the most beautiful planes ever made, and the Mk. XIV is the best 109 ever made. ;)  It's the supreme E-fighter of WWII. Wish we had the clipped bubble top version in AH...

I like the aesthetics of the Griffon-engined versions more too. +1 on the bubble-top clipped wing. Too bad the one we have now has faulty weight distribution (oops did I say that out loud?).

I think of the 109 and Spitfire as being polar opposites which occasionally touch the same point on the performance tables. Not having flown a real 109 of Spit14, in-game the K-4 is a far superior stall fighter, imho.

They survived the crash, but the farmer had just had his roof re-tiled so he shot them both.  :old:
