All those people who keep whingeing about how unfair it is when they get shot down by a spitfire should note the top pilots dont seem to use them so they cant be that great :uhoh
Here it comes
Anyway my point is that if someone slightly less skillfull than you gets you in a spit aim higher :angel:
-
Spits :rock
I do wish more people would land kills in the 1,5, 9 and 14. Chances are when you see someone land its a 16. Hence people taking up the easy, easier mode spits.
The Spit 5 is a dream to fly and anyone who learns to fight in that will be a good proper furballer!
-
the spit14 is really like an uber 109 with frikking laser beams. the fact is that weak always gravitate to the easiest. since the spits are so very favorably modelled in AH they will always attract the cadre of the amoeba slime pit. in the AvA we swat down spitlings as a matter of course, we consider them a staple much like brown bread and beir!!!
when you get a chance please define whingeing for me.
-
ohhh Storchie,
Don't make me come in there and give you some loving.
:D

I used to hate seeing an enemy Spitfire. But now that I've been flying the Hurricane, I just smile an head that direction :devil

Yeah my point, you have progressed beyond crying about it and started fighting like a man ;)

I cant get beyond the lack of ammo and the roll rate in the 16 is so great.
-

:D
it was a sort of invitation for just such an occurance with the added hope that you will teach some of the newer players what the spit is capable of. stop on by the AvA if you can't sleep and give us a fight!!

Spell check on the title, and spits are easy kills. I would fly one much more except they don't catch ponies, la7's, dora's, or typhoons,which is what most of you dorks graduate to after pretending to know what you're doing in a spit! :aok
:rock

Spits can if you have an altitude advantage as you can convert altitude into speed. You need to think in more than 2 dimensions, i know I used to have the same problem. ;)
Appologies I forgot to ADD :rofl

I prefer the 9 to the 5, as it is my primary ride, but that is just me. I never fly the 16 and think that enemies actually underestimate you once they find out you are not in a Spit16 and are a little more aggressive. That aggressiveness usually ends in their demise. :t

:aok
So you guys have expanded the beef to LA,s Dora, Typhoon etc What next Hurri 1,s and P40's :lol

Anytime you wish to stroll to the DA, let me know. I'll fly the Spit 1 and give you the fight of your life, REGARDLESS of the ride you are in.
Before the Arena split, I would OFTEN roll a Spit 1 and land 4-5 kills of La7's, Niki's, and Spixteens. They usually thought "Spit 1, Ha, an easy kill", they were wrong.

I think this has been coming for a while. Your on but I dont know that this will work cos unless I fight you like a spit 1 you will say I used speed, climb, ran etc.
Against Your Spit:
First choice Ostwind
Second 3x B24's
Third Tempest
Which would you prefer?
-
Use standard DA rules. No "extending". No Adonai "climb n dive" moves. Roll from the field, level and duke it out.
I've never done the above regardless of the ride.
BTW, I'd take your turret out in one pass. Only person in an Ostie that scares me is Zazen and we've shut down MANY vultchfests with just the two of us.

"No Extending" whats the point of a fast plane?
"No Adonai "climb and dive" moves" ?
"Roll from the field" ?
Sounds like this style favours the Hurri 2c
-
No, a duel isn't supposed to involve "chasing", "running", etc.
Sounds like you rarely go to the DA with someone who can put up a good fight.

All the better for you. I can believe Ill get my bellybutton kicked. If it doesnt go your way I guarantee you wont ever here the last of it.
Hurri 2c (Bruv is this my best chance against this monster)

I don't duel for genital measurements. I can see you do though. "here"?

God one.
So how do I find you in my Hurri 2C ?
-
Look me up tonight.

Look me up tonight.
Who are you in the game? Karaya?

this could be reynolds vs furball part two.
Masherbrum, Yarbles is new and has learnt the bomber side of the game now it seems he wants to get better in a fighter. He isn't claiming to be any good and you will no doubt beat up on him.
Yarbles if you get any free time next weekend is good for me got Thursday-Tuesday off work. I'll go to the TA with you and assess what you need to work on. Of course you will only find that out once you have gone up against someone who will woop you from all angles.
-
I cant get beyond the lack of ammo
I landed five in it the other day. Trick is to get in close and fire a quick 10-20 round burst.

I think he knows that and I know he knows hence the "The Monster" :devil

Thanks but I think I am probably working, if not I will definately take your offer up :aok
That isnt quite how I wanted it but you get the idea

Ah, so this is the plan? Turn an honest DA session to help him understand that what he typed cannot be defended by himself? But he needs "outside help"?
I'll never understand the underlying timidity of some who "play this game". Simply undaunting if you ask me. He spews his comments and then I'm told "He's new". He's been playing long enough to know if he can "cash his checks" when he's "attempting to rip on folks by asking if the "Beef is being extended to yada-yada."
Making excuses on his behalf only makes this less satisfying. He shot his mouth off, but needs advice from others.
-

Spits make great trainers. In H2H we used to put new pilots in them so they could learn to fly. Only weakness for a new pilot is it's narrow track so landing was interesting. Otherwise spits almost fly themselves. My thoughts are that there are alot of new folks in AH so you'll see alot of Spits (trainers), nothing wrong with that.
Can't help but laugh when you run into a school of them though... :lol
-

Come on Bruv what would you fly if you were me? I know hes good so where can I steal the advantage hes gone spit 1 and wont let use late war tactics on him.

Come on you. Know one knows it all not even you. I am not going to stop being smart and perceptive about Human nature until Iam a better fighter pilot than you ;) ;)
You cant beat everyone who is an inferior fighter pilot than you ireespective of what they are flying and what style they are fighting and that is why you want a "fair fight"
Really when you think about it thats your whole beef proven in the first place. My point is thats how it is and stop whingeing about the fact that that happens sometimes. Why should I give you a fair fight when I know you are better than me, I only have to look at the scores. But I will within your rules. I think Bruv thinks I need looking after which is nice but actually with my attitude I cant lose.
-
can you check your PM's yarbles. Just to see if these are working.
-
Sorry Masher I meant A6M2 and If i get my bellybutton kicked Ill learn something. Ok Bruv ;)
Now stop beating around the bush, are you Masher or Karaya in the MA
-
so thats spit 1 vs a6m2.
Should be an interesting engagement please film it.

Oops he seems very confident :uhoh
No Hoing right.

Really? Then what is this?

You have just been caught in a lie while thumping your chest. You should be proud of yourself!

Maybe not so confident after all :D

Well, even if you have the advantage, you still have to merge within gun range, or many planes will leave it in the dust. As far as thinking in two dimensions, I'd rather keep thinking in three! :aok
By the way, if you'd like to learn something about dogfighting spits or anyother aircraft for that matter, look me up and we'll DA a few.
-
Maybe not so confident after all :D
Are we still on? it seems I am learning ;)
Were you hoping for an easier victory? you know we Brits always back the under dog.
-

Why lie?

Thanks for the offer I do.

Why lie?
I asked him for help, helping someone and looking after them are two different things in my book anyway. If you feel your being hard done by I am sorry.
Are we on or what Spit vs A6M2
-
Ill go to TA or DA against any of u guys.
Just tell me afterwards HOW u kicked my prettythang and what i did wrong/right :D
-
Its a pain I have to go now but will be back in a couple of hours and ready for the cahallenge :aok
-
Hate to say it, but I'm really tired of seeing Spixteens myself. I don't care who flies them or if they kill me. I just want to see other aircraft from time to time.
-
Honestly it isn't very difficult to kill a Spit 1 in anything other than a 109E.

Shhh, he needed help.
-
Spitfire's are the best planes in the game!!! :aok :rock :D
-
Shhh, he needed help.
Ive been looking for you on the MA
-
at 500mph in a dive a maneuvering spitfire is a stationary target
-
i fly the spits, LAs, hurri2c, mostly cuz they are great planes,and seeings how i am most often out numberd i want a great plane, to kill as many of the hoard as i can.
and Masherbrum, Karaya, i would so love to duel you 1 vs 1 DA or MA.
-
Karaya, ur my hero. U fly airbane... yeeeeeaaaaaah..u good at cartoon airbane, yeeeeeeaaaaaah. Now put on ur helmet and hop on the short yellow bus, please. :rock :lol
-
The spit 16 just might be the best base defense fighter in the game. Since I fly for which ever team has the lowest numbers, I end up defending a lot of the time. I'll also fly it in the tank town area on OzKansas map just because it's also a good fighter when jumped by multiple bogeys.
-
WTF i read 4 pages of this toejam and still no punch up,,,,,
BORING,, roll up yer sleeves and get swingin,,,,, post the vid so we can all learn somthing
-
Shhh, he needed help.
Still Looking. I had some connection problems earlier you may have had the same :) :D
I reckon we will have this definitive battle sooner or later which will decide which one of us is right about everything.
-
Didnt read through all of it...just curious what "whingeing" is. :huh
-
Spitfire's are the best planes in the game!!!
I think NOT.
-
I think NOT.
I agree with PAWZ
-
Karaya, I'll duel you. This time no HOing.
-

WOOT!

I do wish more people would land kills in the 1,5, 9 and 14. Chances are when you see someone land its a 16. Hence people taking up the easy, easier mode spits.
The Spit 5 is a dream to fly and anyone who learns to fight in that will be a good proper furballer!
Spit 8's all the way :rock
I'll try the Spit 5 though, my friend recommends it too.
-

Is this a genuine question or are you just another of these spell check Nazi pedants :rolleyes:
Karaya can you give me some times when you are available so we can decide which of us is master of the universe. Also as I am a complete newb and novice to all this macho chest beating/posturing stuff can you give me an outline of the rules. I assume if I win I will have earned the right to call any spit, typhoon, la, nikki etc pilot who shoots me down a talentless dweeb. :D
