Hub,

how much do you want to lose, in the form of a bet?

you ever hear of anyone whining because someone in the game had an ID that is the same as the whining one's screen name on something like AOL?

wonder who it is? hmmm take a really mmmm say wild guess. you only have one guess.  
solution =  .squelch

^ happened a good while back in the MA, maybe before your time.  

as for perking the 16,
when I fly it, yes it needs perking.
when I'm not flying it, no perking needed.
my solution, don't fly it. unless I'm feeling real lazy.
as for perking it for the rest of the arena, no.
killing the 16 isn't hard.
just learn what it can and can't do. use that knowledge to whack it.  < that goes for just about any plane.

Perk the Spit XVI, oh spare me. It's no better than any of the other tight turners.

Here is my test results:

Fast enough to get you into trouble, slow enough NOT to get you out of trouble.

Vulches the same as any other plane. (As for vulching, god help me but I do love it so...)

Shoots chutes no better than any other plane...

The P51 and LA7 actually cherry picks better.

As for the Ho Ho Ho.....give me a N1K or 110.

And you'll loose a collision almost everytime.

(please note - I don't do bombs so I have no toolshed data)

Itsa no perkie.

It merely replaced the La-7 as the whine du jour. Its not a new plan to grow HTC's finances, its just an easier forgiveing plane to fly -- like the La-7.

And like the La-7, if you keep dying helplessly to it, it seems like it needs to be perked. Really -- better SA and better ACM de-perk many planes!

And BTW, I have one sortie and 3 kills in it this tour -- my main rides are p-47s.

Maturity is knowing that I've been an idiot in the past.
Wisdom is realizing I will be an idiot in the future.
Common sense is trying to not be an idiot right now
