i think f6f would be good, solid gun package with plenty of ammo(just make sure u set ur gun coverage), SHes great in the dive She turns when u need to(not a turnfighter but u can surprise the hell out of spits) and she can take hits. SHes not blazing fast but she aint slow, she can carry a nice set of ord for an attack run aswell. I have landed after getting hit with cannons manchine guns and aaa hits. Spit r good but they cant take hits and if u dont have solid gunnery ur prob goin to run out of bullets quick(the machine guns on the spits are weak, ur hispanos are the kill weapon but u dont have much ammo). They also cant take hit(u dont want to take hits but in this game u will). I have take wings off of spits with snap shots(while in a f6f). The spits best quality is its agilty, in my opinion the f6f was more to offer but again it all comes down to preference. LEarning curve is steep here so learn ur planes strenghts and fly to them.
