Considering your post on your own Squad recruiting thread about flying LW in the CT for this setup vs. flying the Spit, I'm not sure why you are giving Urchin a ration of toejam about what he said.
I have to agree, the LW planes in this setup can't handle the Spit IX Tippy combo. You can't catch the Tippies and cant do anything with the spits.
You will do better flying the 205's.
I'm giving him a ration of toejam (calling him a whiner), sir, because he started a piss and moan thread over nothing other than reading about the setup. I'd give you the same ration if you did the same, yourself. When someone decides to whine and carry on about something they don't even have the cojones to give a try first, then they shouldn't expect sympathy from me. And they shouldn't be surprised if I laugh in their tear-streaked faces, either.
p.s. Step back a base or two and grab. Meet those Tiffies co-alt or a lil higher and they can be taken down unless the other guy is just plain better than you. I've had it happen both ways.
Franz can take the Spit .... unless the other guy is just plain better than you or you try to fly "follow the leader." Yup ... I've had that happen both ways too. Granted ... I do better in the Spit ... but I bet if I had an overwhelming hankerin' to dedicate myself to flying German birds for a couple of years, I'd figure out how to fly them better and not be crying everytime a setup offered a challenge.
If the Lufties would just fly the damned setup instead of leaving their comrades in arms to the fate of, quite often, being outnumbered while sitting in the stands and booing, you'd prolly see some pretty damned good give and take.
Guess I just grew up in a different world where people who are supposedly adult aren't coddled to for making a habit of whining about every little thing.
