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.
Biggest load of rubbish I've read on here to date, before posting posts like this, please read rule number 4.
I hope amway starts selling glasses because you need a fresh pair, spit 16 ? try a 14, whats all this c**P about long long shots with a 30mm? how about this scenario- I'm tooling along in a 14, I had just landed 4 in a tempest and 2 in a spit 9, wanted to try something different,come across a k4, he climbs and trys a long winded spiral climb type thing, probably on the horn saying there's a spit up here, get to about 20ish k, and low and behold, there's a 110 AND a 190 ABOVE AND the K4 coming back, so there we have it, 3V1, and I'll tell you what got me killed, my wife coming in and telling me my dinners ready, had around 5 mins grace, what do you do? turn around and a long trip back? or do you stick it out with a solitary 109 till the horde show up ABOVE me and then tough it out and if you die so what?
I honestly don't know why you type rubbish like that, if you do it to get a reaction then you have succeded, I don't mind losing to anyone, but please don't type things like this are just not true, we are all here to have a bit of a laugh, nothing more or less, please don't spoil my fun with childish antics like this that just upset people.
Thank you

And before I forget, what's all this "one of them" ? I take great offence to comments like that for reasons you'll never understand, so you can also remember and refrain from including my name in with statements like that.
Thank you for taking the time to read this Storch.
