Yeah but you don't know the pilots. I do :)
F/L Clive Gosling in the first Spit XII photo, flying MB882 the last production Spit XII in October 1943. Photo by Charles Brown. Corresponded with Clive for 20 years. Raised a glass with him at the RAF Club in London in 85 :)
Your photo. MB882 EB-B being flown by F/L Don Smith RAAF, April 1944 from Friston. Corresponded with him for a while too. MB858 EB-D often flown by F/L Bruce Moffett ( I have his logbook). Also later flown by F/O Don Tebit. (also corresponded with him)
Don Tebit in MB858 and F/L Terry Spencer in MB882 EB-B flew the last operational Spit XII flight in September 1944.
So there! Yeah I'm a Spit XII junkie :)
OK so I couldn't help my self showing off a bit.;)
-
lol guppy a bit to savvy with the intellegence we need to dum u down a bit (no offense just my superiority complex)
-
Spits are for kids~
-
Clipped like fore skin.
Those full wings are unsightly.
-
HAHA Guppy shared a glass with Charlie Brown.
Its an American thing.
-
I love the little "i hate the spitfire!!" kiddies who jump on the bandwagon because it is seen as a 'dweeb' plane in Aces High.
Personally i prefer the full wing. It is magical when you see a Spitfire in a hard turn/climbing turn and hear the roar of the engine.

^I wouldn't read into it too much, Furball.
Clipped is uuugggllly and not the real 'spitfire' look.
The full wing is what gives the spit its distinct profile.
Aside from the fact that I dislike the spit in-game, the full-wing spit is a beautiful aircraft

I prefer the look of the full wing but when I get to do this to so many and done to by so few then clipped is ok with me:D

I prefer clipped ones ever since that was a try from the british to avoid me shooting their spits\' wings off... didn\'t work for them :)

agreed I prefer the real short clipped wing version :D
However when I flew them, I liked the spit 9 or the seafire that I fly from time to time off a CV. Other than that IMO Spits are too easy to fly.
-
Standard wing and Griffon engine, please! :)
-
Standard wing ... preferably the "old" Spit V that we had, dressed in "Malta Blue".
-
I love RL spits! AH spits.. meh- not so much
-
Full wing. Not long and pointy, not short and clipped. Standard, full wing. And no Gryffon. That things just a tad bit too large for my tastes.

Watching a TV program an old spit pilot Bob ? (forgot Sir name) said of the Spitfire "any idiot could fly one". He then went onto explain that Jerry needed more training hours where as our lads didn't.
Listening to BBC radio4 (woman's hour:rolleyes: ) one morning they had an old dear on....amazing storey she told. She used to fly planes from the factories to the airfields where needed. Now this old dear flew just about everything made in Britain. Single, twin and four engined aircraft. At the end of her interview the presenter asked "The" question...."what did you like flying the most". With a joyful tone in her middle class English accent she replied "the Spitfire my dear it was part of you".
These statements go to show how much of a truly balanced fighter the Spitfire was.

It is easy to fly, and thats why its also so boring.

As Furball, I can't understand all this anti Spit bias.... Boring???? How can a plane be boring, just because it's so well designed that anyone can fly it? Must a plane be a barely maneuverable brick to be exciting?
The Spitfire is a great plane that relieve you from the worries of flying it and let you concentrate fully on what you're doing, and that's great to learn to fight, to hone your SA and your gunnery.
If you need excitement, take a Spit and dive in the middle of a red crowd, then you'll tell me if it's boring, or if you'll be grateful to it because it's so easy to fly that can really help you in staying alive!

Yes gian
P47's are much better than spits.
everyone knows this.
Honestly spits are the last plane i will ever fly in this game "BLAH!"
"Reminder" Do you guys have the engine sound,that is of a house fly?
I put that on every british & japanese plane.
When getting near a furrball it was like standing next to a old corps "flys buzzing about .ect"
:)

Yes to what? It seems you don't agree with a single word of what I said! :confused:
