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.

Did the pilot and gunner survive?

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.

IDK.  But i sure would like to know how the pilot pull it off to land on a roof like that with out crashing through it.

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