I agree with you completely Karnak; the Spit 9 is NOT the best choice for the pilot who prefers to land his flights. It CAN do it (if you're very careful), but it's certainly not well-suited to the task.

What I'm saying is that although the Spit 9 isn't well-suited to your own flying style, doesn't mean it's a bad plane overall.

I would like to see the Spit 14 initially unperked. Yes, a lot of people will go for it, but that happens with every new plane. Then, when the true capabilities are realised, and only then should its perkability be evaluated.

Personally, I'm not a good flier - yet - but I go for the Spit, the Lanc, and the Mossie simply because I'm British.

I would like to see Me-262 unperked.
Sure it's fast but it can't turn with prop-fighters and in battle situation higher enemy plane can catch it.

That was joke; I really wouldn't like to see a sky full of jet-fighters and same applies with XIV.

What makes you guys think that the 109G-10 or the 190D-9 is faster than a Spit XIV? or the P-51D for that matter. If modelled right it will be as fast or faster than anything except a TA152. 448mph max speed approx. In fairness, its the speed AND the manueverbility of it that should make it a perk ride, but not so high that its never seen, its not an Me262.

Too many spits as it is. It's beginning to look - and feel-and sound- like Airwarrior. It just seems that no one's taking time to learn the planes. Get a 25-30 ENY ride, furball, die, get a perk ride....not much fun in that, for me.

The CT is looking ever more appealing to me...

Thanks for the guns HTC. You guys have really made at least one person happy with the last two versions, me. The Mosquito FB.VI Series 2 and now the Spitfire F.Mk XIVc.
