Hitech will never model the spit LF IX because not even he could control the Luftwhiners whines at the prospect of fighting a decent spitfire.


Funny the only whinning I see is from the spitler youth.

Thats because we have poormans version of the spit IX (which the luftwhiners still manage to whine about).

 If HTC announced that they would be modelling the proper spit IX, the amount of whines from the Luftwhiners would be so immense the Universe would no longer be able to cope.  The Universe as we know it would cease to exist- cats would be walking hand in hand with dogs, football hooligans being civilised, Clinton declining a BJ, computer nerds having a life, japanese anime/manga cartoons making sense, children caring for their OAP parents, wwiiol being playable, british having straight teeth, americans being slim and polite, France being a super power...........So on and so fourth.

Do you get my drift?

Can you imagine what the LW would be like if...

...there were only two flavors of the 109, and they were the F and G2- and the Brits had the Spits V, IX LF, VIII, and XIV? I can.

Both sides have their advocates, but the LW have clearly won the inclusion battle hands-down.

Which is still one of the best planes in the game but the spitler youth still manages to whine about.

Dont think the RAF is well enough represented in the game?
The anouncement of 2 more RAF birds in the next version not enough for you?
If you  cant get the job done in the Spit IX we have son..you cant get it done.
 Im looking forward to the definitive Merlin spits and the Spit XIV as much as anyone. But its not a conspiracy bud.  We started at the middle of spit land and the end of 109 land. Easy to introduce all those 109s cause they were all inferior to the G10. Not so easy to introduce Spits that are supperior to the IX we had cause it is so dam good.
But with the perkies in place I bet we see an Uber spit real soon..

thrila,

I don't think that the Spit XIV should be a perk plane in order to appease any percieved group of AH players.  I think that the Spit XIV should be perked because of how perfectly and powerfully suited to the MA environment it is.  If it were not perked it would run rampant, pushing many, many interesting aircraft out of viability.  Unperked it would destroy the playability of the MA.  I want it perked because I want to play a fun game/sim.

I think that the Spitfire F.MkXIVc should be perked at about 20 perk points.  957 MkXIVs were built and it entered service in January '44, and combat in March '44.  Those numbers and dates are quite significant, it also isn't terribly fast at AH altitudes and with a "Spit14" icon over it, it will have a very rough time of it as many (P-51B, P-51D, Bf109G-10, Fw190D-9, Typhoon MkIb, La-7) free aircraft will outrun it.

Hopefully the Spitfire F.MkXIVc shows up in one of the next few versions of AH.

If some you anti-spit people  even glanced over my post you would have noticed that i never mentioned the spit XIV. :rolleyes:

Go on i dare ya, i dare to go read my post again and see what i'm actually talking about here.  You're are actually managing to whine about things that i'm now whining about myself.  I'm not whining about having the spit XIV i'm whining about the spitIX.

For crying out loud atleast i can glance over a post and have some sort of clue what someone is talking about.:D

You luftwhiners are so clever, managing to whine about the fearsome spitXIV even though it's not the subject my whine to begin with.



Look, the current spitfire mkIX is not as good as it could be.  It has much less performance than 99% of the spit IX's produced.  Uot of the 5500 spit Ix's  bult the spit we have accounted for about 300.  The rest were the spit IX LF (the better version of the spit IX).  The spit IX LF has 15mph extra topspeed and 25% better acceleration which would be nice.  Does everyone know understand what i am whining about now?


No i'm not in the spitler youth, i just want the spitIX represented properly.  If anything i'm a tiffy dweeb, you can even go check my stats.

You shouldnt have blown by the H section of the dictionary so quickly. You should look at hypocrite for a while.

Thrila
Welcome to the legions of spitfire fans in AH that know that there were much better Spit IXs and VIIIs made in very big numbers and that the one we have is not only based on a 1942 version but is not even represetative of that one.
What does that have to do with calling people luftwhiners.....
That is what makes you a dweeb. Not wanting a better spit.
If you dont like being called names dont do it to others. Dont imply there is some conspiracy between the german AC fans and HT to keep you out of the Spit you deserve.  What you are doing is indistiguishable from the whining you are accusing others of. No matter how you justify it to yourself.  But dont worry you have lots of company. There are several studley non_whining RAF fans that seem to think their tears are different somehow from other peoples tears.

Pongo, although i'm a relatively new member to the ah BB community.  I have been following these boards for an awful long time, much longer than i started subscribing to AH (don't ask me why, i'm just weird thats all):D

I noticed that whining seems to get things changed if enough people whine.  I just feel that the spitfire is under represented in this game due to-

A) lack of spitfire models

B) the models they do have are the poorer/uncommon versions


I don't see why HTC didn't model the spitIX to it's fullest abilities ie the spitIX LF.  


I'm not easily offended i can haddle being called names, lol that spitler youth post was funny:D

I use the term Luftwhiner because i find it amusing,  i'm sure that no-one reading this board is so insecure as to take personal offence to to it.  

Pongo we'll get spit XIV eventually so i'm not worried about that at all, what i am worried about is having a mis-modelled spitIX and being stuck with it.
