The Spoit V is a ton of fun. Even more fun is the Seafire. People think it is a Spoit IX....until they start turning.

Why it is, then, that everyone seems to attack the Spit V so vehemently?

I don't see how it's such a super fighter, or why its gotten such a reputation as a dweeb's plane.

Its simple logic, "Real men fly radials, 'Nancy boys' fly inlines"...right Verm?

No matter what you fly someone will have something to say about it. Fly what you like, how you like, when you like. When said persons whine, let them.

If the plane is in the set it is a viable option in my book.

Why shouldn't you fly the Spit? Because only n00bs or low-skill dweebs fly them, that's why. You must be one of those two things, Honch. Maybe both.

LOL! When I'm in my F6F and hear .303 pings... I think "If I don't do something in the next 10 minutes I might lose an aileron."

I would like the spit V below. It has been modified with a DB605a1 engine and a 109-G6 propellor.

Read about it here: http://users.chariot.net.au/~theburfs/URdbspit.html

Mmmmmm yellow nosed spit.

I stand by my unstated position on flying Spits, and I won't budge an inch on it! w00t!

The spit is #1 cr4pZ0r leuser plane, only fit for super-aces. n00b dweeb scum tards fly uber platforms like the TBM or PFFCP.

I LUUUUUUUUV spits.

They're crunchy, and taste good with katchup.

So embarrassing to be shot down by a Spit of any kind.

Must be kind of fun though!:D

Honch, do you want a good reason? : Piety.

Using deaths as an indication of usage (1 death = 1 take off), this tour:

4 Spit versions: 40700 deaths

For comparison:

5 109 versions: 12000 deaths
4 190 versions: 10500 deaths

Spit usage is doubling the usage of 109 plus 190.

straffo · « **Reply #43 on:** March 22, 2002, 06:07:06 AM »

But when vulched ... 1 death == 0 take off

And I often see spit used at field defenses (with Zeke).

Mand, you can't use deaths as an indication. Quite simply because some rides are far more survivable that others i.e. the 190D is much more survivable than an a6m. A 190D is very capable of entering a fight, getting a couple of kills and leaving when the going gets tough. Slow planes don't have that ability and have to "fight" their way home.
