If you bring Spit XIV you'll make this an one plane simulator.

Uh yeah that sounds interesting.

Spit XIV phobia ?

Even best pilot in best plane can be gangbanged, you know

this

Top speed 352MPH IAS at 15,000 feet.

Optimum cruise at 10,000 Ft was 273.

(Actually would like this on a "C" with a 52 Gal U.S. External tank.)

Climbs at about 2300 feet per minute and U.S. WWII FIghter pilots said it was by far the best turning of all U.S. WWII Aircraft. So you get the drift, don't turn fight in U.S. Planes.

U.S. Fighter pilots rated is controls and instrumtation better than the P-51 and said only the P-47 had a better cockpit layout.

I heard this before, for example when a8, typhy, yak were added to the game. How much game will change, no one will fly below 25k, all will fly them, deadly punch, fast, bluh bluh bluh bluh, and then bluh bluh bluh bluh. Do you see many of typhies or yaks or a8 around?

I heard that XIV will be a perk plane, that is fine with me. But then a5, g10 shall be a perk planes too, at least when in compare with what RAF has now.

With the exception of the F8F-1, all the planes above should be regular arena planes.

Juzz, that's all I wanted to know. The rest is unimportant

Hang

P-51K would be nice to round out the series

Juzz's numbers look correct to me.

Only thing that will outrun a Fw190D-9 using MW-50 on the deck is a Tempest.

Nashwan or RAM (I don't remember which) have been saying that the Spitfire MkXIV could do 400 on the deck. That is a number I have never come across. I have many, many reference books sitting right above me, and the speed that the Spitfire MkXIV is listed at on the dect is always 363mph.
The Spitfire MkXIV tops out at 448mph at 26,000ft.
The Spit XIV will also accelerate very well, climb fast and turn fast. She won't roll or dive particularly well, especially rolling at high speeds.
Frankly, the Luftwaffe here probably has more to fear from a Tempest MkV being introduced than from a Spitfire MkXIV as most of the fighting in AH is below 20,000ft. In addition the Tempest has 4 20mm Hispano MkV cannon as opposed to the Spit's 2 20mm Hispano MkII cannon and 4 .303 Brownings or 2 20mm Hispano MkII cannon and 2 .5 Brownings.

I don't think I've ever said the Spit could do 400 on the deck. I have read that Spit 14s modified by having armour removed, polished and running on 150 octane could do 400mph at 2000ft, but they were specials used only for chasing V-1s.
This chart gives speed at altitude for various Spits:

Anyone know why it shows the Spit 21 so much faster at 12,000ft?

Long range Artillery would be cool. Don't know how you would deal with spotting though. That would be the difficult part.
