I've been thinking alot lately about the over usage of the Spitfires and I think I've came up with a plan to fix that. Just allow only the Brits to fly them. I'm sure all of us has ran into one of the queens subjects in the heat of battle, and you must agree that they do need the convulsing,fish flopping,circus like manuever capibilities of the Spitfires in order to be victorious.
I for one have always held our friends across the pond with great respect, and by golly I'm willing to give them a leg up in this game so they won't have to die by the hands of a more "gifted" pilot. It's just not right that they have to fight against their own countries premiere WW2 fighter flown by really skilled pilots...I.E. the Americans.
So what do ya say my fellow yanks? Lets stay out of the Spitfires,Hurricanes and Tempests and let the needing British buggers fly them. Heck we don't need those planes. If we did we would of built them already.
On a side note: this doesn't apply to Lynx. I've heard him talk...I'm sure he's from Kentucky (the southern part)

Oooh, how's about this:
HiTech insert some coad to figure out what country in the world your IP address is coming from. Then based on that, limit your plane choices to planes that your real-life country used in WW2.
I get your joke, uptown. :aok

:huh wtf is that supposed to mean uptown? I don't know what your getting at but I for one and most of my squad would not need to resort to such stick stirring in order to own your pee fifty one.
If there were more runstangs that extend a sector before turning back in, I think i'd puke. Anytime you want to fight p51 vs p51 gimme a shout and i'll give you some pointers.
Oh and GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! stick that in your pipe and smoke it

Sounds liked you've hooked a nice Bruv fish. :rofl

Being the gentleman I am, I can not allow you to be at such a disadvantage. The P51 is a complicated, technical aircraft the should be flown with the utmost caution and skill, which the British just don't have at this point and time. But I will accept your challenge, my fine sir. But you have to allow me to fly a less capable aircraft. Say a C47? :D
-
:D
-
Middle Earth is missing another troll. :lol

Of course the P-51 would have to be revised back to a P-51A....can't have a British designed engine flown by Americans, can we? :devil

I fought you a few times. I don't think the Spitfire is the reason you die ;)
-
The 2x fuel burn already does a half-way decent job of keeping short-range interceptors in their place, so, no.
-
If I recall, didnt the US fly spits..and the brits flew: hellcats and wildcats, avengers..just to name three... nah...I like the Spit one of the very, very few fighters I can flay. I can't the fly 51 to save my life...sorry uptown...

I think this is the first true "bite."

Not so sure about that I think there was a Battle called?? ah??? what was it?? don't help me I will get it. June 1940 I think it was?? Oh yeah the Battle of Britain. Seem to think the British pretty much solved the long term answer of what language was to be spoken at that point. Oh yeah when was it before the USA entered the fray?

Ahhh, those are for riding. I said fly
-

Do feathers and wax ring a bell ?
-
Ahahaha what a good thread...
-
nevermind
-
As a Greek you can fly Pegasus, or imitate Icarus, or steal Apollo's chariot like Phaeton---plenty of options, Yasu!
Too bad the US didn't have the wisdom and foresight to try and build planes that worked, i.e., we should have tried to build Spitfires under license starting in 1939 or 1940. Imagine id all of our clunker P-39s and p-40s had been Spits.
-
i have no issue with the spits. when i come across em all they do is HO. i jig outta way and use my advanatge and fight my damdest, win or lose. love it when you get a spit 16 in one or two turns, and back in tower you know hes saying "WTF was that! That fu........"

That leaves my Canuck self with... a maple leaf?
Bah. Americans needed the Spitfires for a good amount of time in the war as defence (and sometimes offense) fighters. 52nd, and 31st FG anyone? The US obviously hasn't really showed the Yanks much about the efforts of that group.. and a few others in the ETO prior to the North African and Italian campaigns.

I think you need to get a sense of humour stroker. I was poking fun at Uptown's "idea", not insulting Americans in any way. Note the smiley at the end of my post.
-
I support this :salute
-
According to well informed chat on 200 last night, the Russians won the war. And it must be true because the BBC said so.
Now then, under the new 'only fly the planes of your country' rule, what do you get if you're a Brit living in the colonies?
S'pose I could up a Boston. Or maybe someone will lend-lease me a destroyer if they have one spare. Been telling the missus I want a boat for ages now.
-
the brits flew everything the americans flew,and the americans flew what the brits flew :cool:

The current form book for this P51D matchup would suggest myself as a short favourite.
All kills in Pony D since we both started playing (thanks Spatula :aok)
Uptown Kills 2206 Deaths 1252 K/D 1.76
Bruv119 Kills 2459 Deaths 171 K/D 14.30
We have to duke this out uptown I can't have people making fun of Her Majesty's subjects when it comes down to P51 flying, I love that plane and if I win you have to fly Spitfires for a whole month. :D

Excuse me???!!! There are BRITS living in the U S of A??? Unbelievable! I'm calling INS. Put down the Yorkshire Pudding!!! Step AWAY from the Yorkshire Pudding!! And take you and your soggy tea bag back across the pond.

When I first read the very first post I chuckled and thought what a fun thread. So I posted and had to defend what I said from people who don't get it. No I didn't put :rofl or anything. But from the feel of the first post I assumed (yes I know what that means) that it was all in fun!

In looking at these stats, it's appears that I am in fact the clear underdog. But if one would look at how the #keys are positioned on the keyboard, it is clear to me that your cockney tea tipping typing fingers hit two keys at once resulting in a 14 instead of a 1 as you intended.
Secondly, if the above stats are accurately displayed, a bribery investigation must be conducted at once. For I submit that Spatula was promised tawdry English tarts and Her Majesty's finest light ale for such blantant and downright obscene manipulation of our esteemed stats and scoring page.
Thirdly, I contend the Spatula is in fact a English agent and is involved in a conspiracy to fill the skys of AH2 with Spitfires and other British weapons of war in an effort to dominate AH2 and the world as a whole. This will not stand, as we will fight to the last man to crush the English rebellion and defeat the redcoats once and for all. :furious

Better not let the yanks fly the pony, after all it was designed for an RAF specification. Oh and didn't the Fleet Air Arm teach the yanks you could land Corsairs (Hawgs) on carriers?
-
You mean there were allied planes in WW2 that weren't spits, hurri's, mossies and lancs. Always wondered what the Ex Colonials flew. :)
No offence to our neighbours across the pond. :salute
Though if we use Imadot's suggestion of you only fly your IP address I'm stuffed as I live in Spain, work in the ME and South America, I think that qualifies me to fly a parachute
