Not the plane himself (her??); maybe the fact that 90% of spit-riders seems to fly only for HO :p

Because it's a very forgiving plane to fly, which is why it's a good choice for beginners and another reason why some think it takes no skill to fly one.  

Those that whine about the Spitfire are the same dweebs that whine about the N1K2 and how the La7 should be perked.  They are easily spotted in the MA because they are the ones that always cry out "BS!" every time they get shot down.

Spits/La7 are no big thing as typically good pilots aren't flying them - pretty easy pickins unless you doing something stupid or goon hunting.  I always know when I see that hard flat turn or a guy shooting from 1.5 that I got a kill just waiting to be collected.

Beer Rat in a Spit?  


(Early on, I fell for that Leviathn crap.  Now I avoid all Spits on the deck flying inverted with gear down.)


HONK!

Apart from flying other planes for missions, I almost fly one or other of the Spits exclusively. No idea why we get the Spit dweeb, it's not as if at the first sign of trouble we can run. Most of the other planes e.g. LA7, LA5, Yaks, P51 etc etc can catch us quite easily. Although I have shot down my fair share of them.
In fact the amout of times (rarely I admit) I have got a 1 on 1 with one of the others the first thing they do when you get on their six is dive and run. So in my opinion (not worth a crap anyway) for Spit substitute LA7, P51, Yak then add the dweeb tag.....LOL.

they dont like it because they dont see why people should have such a easy ride that almost anyone can get a kill in...

Exactly!  Spits are EZ mode loser planes, just like N1Ks and Hurricanes.  Get into a real plane, people!!

Spits are incredibly easy to fly and be good in... That's why people rag on them. 109's are easy to survive in (just about everyone uses them to run from fights...), but hard to actually be good in.

YEAH!  109s = takes skill.  Spits = no skill.

So if your right it's easier to get kills and get home in a Spit - don't think so. Don't have the speed to "run" outta a furball. The skill comes in getting kills and getting home without being run down by one of the many faster planes. But each to his own.

If you guys want to know what plane takes skill to fly, the only one in AH that does is the P-38L.  Everything else is just EZ-mode.

Two good Spit shots :)

I stole them, washed them, cleaned them up and hung them..

The smaller of the two is expecially nice.
