he knows that, he'll be one of them. last night I had to climb up to 25k to spank him with my 110 while he was in a spit16, refusing to engage only climbing away. a long long shot of 30mm precipitated his departure from the arena as he retired for the evening.
I understand that the spit played a pivotal role in WWII and that it was a fine, perhaps arguably the finest fighter to see service in that era as evidenced by it's long production run and unquestionable success. It was truly a brilliant design from the fertile mind of a talented designer. In short Reginald Mitchell may have indeed saved Great Britian with his capable fighter.
The problem with the spits in this WWII game is that there is an inexhaustible supply of them and they were nowhere near as good as they are depicted here. They remained competetive throughout the war but never were they able to totally dominate their opponents. The kills they got were earned. In here any dweeb can land kills in a spit while eating jelly donuts and watching pron.
I believe the spitfire in it's AHII iteration has no place in any historical set up where it's numbers can't somehow be limited. If they were my set ups to host they would be present but three to six sectors back from the front lines.
You have supposedly historical squads that seldomly fly anything else. case in point, many of the players from the 325th VFG will never fly the P40, P47 or P51. They will all be found dweebing around at 107k in spitfires, cherry picking fights and a particular player proclaiming his supreme "aceyness" on 200. The spitfire belongs in the MA.
