Before the spit XVI and VIII came along there were indeed posts demanding the perking of the uber UFO spit9.
Precisely. The spitfire "The best close in fighter of the lot" (Johnie Johnson the story of air fighting and top scoring WW2 british ace).
If you want to beat someone in a spit in something else you probably need to be a better fighter pilot than them and some or know how to boom and zoom. Be aware though as soon as you slip into co-e you will quickly be at a dissadvantage
Dont blame the spit if you are not up to the task
Now if people want to complain about a plane its obviously the LA7.
1) Newbs can jump in and charge around without even looking behind them. Point and squirt.
2) In reality unreliable to the extreme and major inconsistencies in performance and build quality. What we have in the game is the best of the best la7.
So dont perk it though as once you know what you are doing its just an annoying inconvenience that keeps you looking over your shoulder but easy to defeat if you are paying attention. If you keep getting shot down by newbs in anything your either drunk or not as good as you think you are. I have no fear of the 16 in for example a 51 but I am carefull how I fight it. It amazes me when I am in a 16 how many people will fight you like they are in another 16 when they are in something like a 51 and then start crying when they get it from behind
