my least fav spit to fly, its a great fighter-bomber though :aok

Boost has already been discussed and answered.............
-
Spitfires
Big ol targets.
-
how much slower is it then it should be?
-
The XVI, operating at 25lbs boost could achieve 358 MPH at sea level. That's around a 24MPH gain across the board.
-
I'm all for it!
-
Is if this aircraft already didnt have enough going for it.... ;)
**I'll take the bvait**
If the Spit16 gets the engine "boost" it should have and it keeps its over-modelled roll rate, I'd have to say that if the Spit 14 stays perked then the Spit16 well deserves a perk of equal of higher value to the Spit14.
-
Saying the roll-rate of the Spit16 is over-modeled is a bad argument and makes you look bad UNLESS you have proof to back up your claim. If you don't, simply pointing out the spixteen outrolls nearly everything will do nicely.

I don't mind spits that much anymore. Tey can be beaten just like any other plane. One plane I'm surprised doesn't come under fire for being "easy mode" is the F4U. The Corsair is a beast and turns even better than the Spitfire due to its higher-speed flaps. Its only dowfall is the backwards view. I started flying the F4U a bit more lately and I'm quite surprised I ever manage to beat thing thing with my 38 :)

The F4U's just have so many weapons, it is a wonderful plane and the only reason I quit flying it was because I now use trackir and your SA in the hog's is crappy with TrackIR.

Trackir makes the views even better IMO...

as long as no one was on my six, it was fine, but I had a hard time tracking bandits on my six.

As long as you have your right/left backward/forward axises set up fairly sensitively it's easy to get a clear six view. And since you can make micro-adjustments to keep them in sight it's even better.
I just did a quick glance, I think I didn't even finish moving my head before I hit alt+s. Anyway, this is an idea of what it looks like when I take a quick check or whatever just to make sure no one's on me. I leaned forward and to the left in conjunction with moving my head, just like you do when trying to look behind you around an obstacle in real life.

Of course then if someone's on the other side it's easy to check too, not so easy with a hat.
Bubble canopies are uber! (Spit's views are very nice as well...)
