Yes it does.But please remove the perk tag...

Yes it does, the perk tag must be there too but 60 perks is too much. The TA152 has been lowered to 20 perks which is a good price for it. Spit 14 climbs ALOT better, turns better but is slower.

Something between 15 and 30 should be a good price.

Nah, the Spit 14 is a beautifull plane, Keep it's cost, get rid of the 14 icon who makes any moron within icon range kamikazee of it.

I have the feeling that the modeling wasn't finished, is it me only? ... or maybe some models were without "valve cover bump"?

A substitute to the spit14 icon could be to clip his wings, so only pilots close enought to fight it would know it's a spit14.

Perk the 109G10 and Pony then.
Each is as fast as the SpitXIV, the G10 climbs with it.

Except G10 cant dive worth toejame and pony has acceleration from hell.. They dont fit perk criteria.

Spit xiv is pretty useless as tagged perk plane. It's too easy to hunt down.

pretend it's an F4u-4

If the Spit XiV were unperked, then nobody would ride the Spit IX or the P-51, or the N1K, or the LaGG.

I say keep it perked. It gives us Spit drivers a goal in life.

Spit 14 outzooms most things, turns great and accelerates good, worth 60 perks? HELL NO but it shouldn't be unperked either, TA152 price would be good for it.

IM with wilbus, its needs to be perked but 15 to 20 points is plenty.

The SpitXIV sure seems to fly very similiar to the SpitIX. I would think lowering the perk cost of the XIV would be in order.

I agree the price is a little steep, but I am more emphatic about the perk tag. Why are they there? What allows an enemy to identify a Spit XIV from a Spit IX at 6k? Or a F4U-4 from a F4U-1D? The only obvious one would be the TA-152 with its much longer wings. Wouldn't a better system be to give them some type of distinguishing paint job that allows you to ID them when up close, similar to the way we can tell the 109s apart?

I like the idea I've seen posted elsewhere about the tag changing with distance, but that would require code. Painting the rudder red might be easier.

I did some offline tests the day it came out, the SpitX1V outclimbs the G10 to 20k easily.
