Cause it curies the PW and flap curse. I love it, but if you hear a ping, it comes with blod on the glass or a missing flap (that is actually stuck down, even though it is gone). Kind of like a P40. You get pinged, you lose a flap.

HIJACKING: What do you think? 5 more years and the flap problem will be fixed? Got to finish with the 10 foot grass first.

I keep trying, but I don't like the way the flaps won't engage till yer reel slow. Also, the speed in the Frank creeps up on ya and before you know your doing near 400 and wondering why your blacking out...

...but I keep trying.

Seafire L.III was the more common type, but yes there were both.

Its really a low alt dogfighter in terms of its engine which is a Merlin 55M.

Ammo is still 120 rpg for its 20mm, as its based on the Spit VC airframe and universal wing. Can carry a DT or a bomb as well.

Yup, most (by far majority) were L.III and as such one would expect an L.III if they really re-do the Seafire. But that said the only IX AH has had was the least produced F.IX Merlin 61.

I have even seen pictures of clipped-wing L.IIIs...

Real close to that LF.Vc CW we talked about in the other thread...

I don't think they ever clipped the wings of Seafires. It would make it a little harder to get off the deck.

The Seafire Mk III's wings fold at two points, the second of which is pretty much where clipped wing Spits are clipped.

Cause it ain't got a purty new cockpit and skin. I will be back when they get the new purty cockpit in the Ki....my deflection shots are so good...I once shot myself in the butt.

Uh.. weasel? It *does* have a new cockpit. It was one of the first to GET the new cockpit. Unless I misunderstood what you meant?

Yup, the Ki-84, B-24 and T-34 were the first units done to the AH2 standard, which is why they don't look quite as nice as the newly redone units. NATEDOG and SUPERFLY were still figuring out how much room they had to play I think.

Krusty · « **Reply #39 on:** October 25, 2005, 07:01:53 PM »

Well, Karnak says they don't look as nice, I say it looks great!

The cockpit is very roomy, with plenty of room for pilot-wounding bullets to pass through.

They need to redo the ki 84 to the new standards. The spit looks nice.
Also what ever happened to those beautiful clouds from a few years back.
Lots of fun hiding in them and sucker punching someone.

Weasel: Look at a6m. Look at P40. Then look at Ki84. It is the new standard

What, specifically, don't you like?

Labeled Seafire III

Well if what I remember comes to pass, the Seafire will be changed, it won't be a Seafire IIc (a heavy spitV with carrier landing stuff) but it will instead be the more common Seafire III (a heavy spit9 with carrier landing stuff) -- it will probably perform better and still have 120RPG for hispanos.

4 bladed prop and multiple exhaust stacks do not always a two stage Merlin Spitfire make

Much closer to an LFVc as it's still a single stage Merlin in the Seafire III

LIII should be a bit of gem -

18lbs boost
DT and ord options
240 rounds cannon?

Be like our soon to replaced Mk V, but with a steroid boost.
