The Spitfire and Bf109 lineups are being refined to be more representative and to fix the hodgepodged Spit IX.
The Spitfire lineup that has been suggested is:
Spitfire Mk Ia, +12lbs boost (current is +6lbs boost, but labled +12)
Spitfire Mk Vb, +12lbs boost (current is +16lbs boost)
Spitfire F.Mk IX, Merlin 61 at +15lbs boost without the option for the .50 cals and rockets
Spitfire LF.Mk VIII, Merlin 66 at +18lbs boost (new model that Pyro was unsure about the need for so is the least likely to show up)
Spitfire F.Mk XIV, +21 pounds boost, perked (Current Mk XIV is at +18lbs boost. It will probably stay at +18lbs boost, but might go to +21lbs)
Spitfire LF.Mk XVIe, Merlin 266 at +18lbs boost, clipped wings (+25lbs was requested, but the performance may be too much for AH)
Seafire L.Mk III (replaces the Seafire Mk IIc)
The Bf109G-10 is no longer going to be in AH. My guess is that the Bf109G-14 will be added and the Bf109K-4 will replace the Bf109G-10.
-
I do hope they boost the spit14 cause for many unperked planes are comparable in speed/maniabilty
-
cool thanks for the info
but does anayone know when this is all going to happen?
-
and the 16 also if the preformance is to much they just have to perk it and well thats how it flew in wwII and this is a wwII vid game so we just have to deal with it. atleast we will have something new to fly.
-
Viper,
The Spitfire Mk XVI flew at both +18lbs and +25lbs boost during WWII, so it is really their choice.
As to when, that will be when v2.06 is released. I'd guess a month or so.
-
Cmon we all want a spit XII dont we?
-
Yeah, but from reading all those spit posts a little while back, I believe it was said that the Spit 16 will not be outperforming the 14 at all.
-
Spit XVI at +25lbs boost would only out perform the Soit XIV at +18lbs boost in a few areas. The Spit XIV at +21lbs boost would be better in almost al ways.
-
also note that Spit LF 16 is almost the same as Spitfire LF 9 (i believe the most common) except it has an american engine and a pointy rudder tail.
-
The XVI will have clipped wings in AH too I believe, atleast that was what was said.
Bring it with 25+ I say, perk it if needed for the MA.
-
It should Wilbus. All Mk XVIs had clipped wings with two 20mms and two .50 cals.

I am sure its 2 weeks.
And i would like it to be 25. why not have a high performance spit, can still perk it.

In AH the IX/XVI will only mean the following -
1942 F IX - Merlin 61, 303 + 20mm, NO ord. (Better high alts)
1944 LF XVI - Merlin 66, 50cal + 20mm, ord options, (Lower alts)
In real life 1944 The LF IX and LF XVI used the same airframe only difference was the motor in the LFXVI was a Packard built Merlin 66 in place of a Rolls Royce built Merlin 66.
Spit XIV is getting boosted to 21.
-
In regards to any of the spits being "too uber" due to higher boosts or whatever else; anyone remember all the fuss about the Ki-84? Let's get the planes before we freak out about them.
-
KI84 is uber u n00b

no wey, spit 14s with +21 boost are too few - waaay fewer than 109K-4 running on 1.98 ata boost.
and whoever's advocating for 109K-4 with 1.98 ata boost - it will never happen.

I've not seen that. What did I miss?

So the G-10 is gone?

Why would they get rid of the G-10. or any other plane for that matter.
I can see adding more planes but removing planes makes no sense to me.
Particularly if they are planning on adding another superduper dweebfire

Absolutely :)
Clipped Spit XVI is about as close as we'll get however if we're even that lucky.
-
The G-10 is gone because it is actually a K-4 as modeled and they are adding the K-4 true (I bet). I'd expect to see a K-14 to fill the gap between the G-6 and K-4. Frankly, I'd rather see the G-10 retuned to typical G-10 performance (425mph or so) and have the G-14 added as a gap filler between the G-6 and G-10 while capping it off with the K-4.
Like so:
Bf109E-4
Bf109F-4
Bf109G-2
Bf109G-6
Bf109G-14
Bf109G-10
Bf109K-4
-
Typo Karnak, they add G14 to fill the gap, not K-14 ;)
This is all speculations as of yet though isn't it? The G10 will be removed, Pyro has said that much but there haven't really been any word on what will come in its place.
Probarble guesses would be as Karnak has typed.
-
why would they take away the g10 from the game?
-
Viper,
As I explained above (minus the typo):
The G-10 is gone because it is actually a K-4 as modeled and they are adding the K-4 true (I bet). I'd expect to see a G-14 to fill the gap between the G-6 and K-4.
-
The Differnece between a K4 and AH G10 Viper is that the K4 came standard equiped with a 30mm Mk 108 hub cannon. It didn't use 20mm option.
As for AH it was named G10 in order to enable a 20mm option too.
-
ooooo i get it not ty big words confuse me lol:confused:

Rather than think of it as removing the G10 think of it as renaming the current model. Like they did for the D30/D40.
