After a 30minutes sortie in the Spit14 I determined that the plane is worth 60 perk points, even more than that.

60 is close to its value...

If there were only 1000 (approx) produced then I don't mind having it at 60 perk points to show it's rarity. I have yet to fly it though but am looking forward to putting it through the rigors of combat.

...and the LA7 is how much now?

The la7 needs to be perked although it isn't as bad a Spit14 i'd say about 15 for it, mainly cause of the fact the Spit14 turns better and the russian produced thosands of them (as they do with most everything)

as HT has said over and over..

perks aren't about AC performance, but rather for arena balance.

how many spit XIV's do you think there'll be ?

Didnt we have a perk free night when the 262 came out, just for giggles?

yes but i don't see much fun about being gangbanged by a group of Spit14s

The Spit14 is nothing like some are imagining. The fact that it is very unstable in the lateral makes it very anti-newbie.

I'd be more worried about La7s than Spit14s.

HT and Pyro have both said that whether or not a kite is perked as absolutely nothing to do with production numbers, when it entered service, or if it saw combat. The perk system is merely a way of controlling planes that can/will unbalance the arena. I wish everyone would quit harpin on rarity and numbers and dates about perk planes!

That being said, after flying a spitXIV for a bit tonight I think they're in the right ballpark on the cost. Acceleration from hell, climbs like a homesick angel, hispanos and .50s. This is not a plane I want to fight against in the vertical in my -51D.

exactly true about perkies.

and also true that the XIV isn't a newbie plane.

well.. I haven't flown it yet, but it should have wicked torque.

btw.. where the hell is he???
