That's an outright lie, Karnak, and you know it. I've even defended YOUR ideas before, and you know that too.

Next time don't resort to slander when you disagree with somebody. Too much of that on this forum as it is.
In regards to the perk status of the Mk XIV and your position it wasn't slander.  You have, for as long as this has been brought up, claimed that the Mk XIV deserves its perk despite the fact that it has never lived up to the potential you claim it has.  Not for a single tour has it ever matched even the K/D ratio of the F4U-1C.  In fact it always falls short of the K/D ratio of a number of free aircraft.  It also has very low usage for a perk plane, especially given how cheap it is.

Despite this, you always claim that people just don't know how to fly it.  The problem with that claim is that it applies to just about every aircraft, particularly high performance ones like the Bf109K-4, Fw190D-9, Ki-84, La-7, P-47M, P-47N, P-51B, P-51D, Spitfire Mk VIII, Spitfire Mk XVI, Ta152H-1 and Typhoon Mk I.  Now, maybe you think many or all of those ought to be perked, but it isn't something you ask for and given that they are not perked it seems the Spitfire Mk XIV ought not be perked.
