Observation and question.
Observation: This stuff about how to patiently work the N1K with your E building superiority is all well and good, but the thing is, the banditry hardly ever consists of 1 N1K below you. Instead of 1v1 tactics, I think we could all use advice on hordeVhorde tactics.
So the question becomes, how do you manage the Spit14 in a hordeVhorde situation?
BTW Anax et al, y'all are completely wrong about unperking the Spit14. Unperk it, and it will become as annoying to those flying high and fast in any er, um, "non hyper-modeled ride"-109, 190, Mustang, Jug, P-38, etc-as the 16 is to those who get low and slow.
