Question for all the people who call the spitfire 16 a noob plane.

Question for all the people who call the spitfire 16 a noob plane.

In real life if you were a part of the RAF and you were assigned to fly Spitfire mk XVI, would you say "I'm not flying that thing, it's a noob plane"?

It's a simulation



I'm not saying spit16 is the best thing to fly in AH, just wondering what would you all do if you had to fly it in reality?

None of us will ever be called up to fly spitfires so it really doesn't matter. I don't care that new people fly the spit16 because they have to learn somehow and the spit16 is very easy to fly. What I really hate is when people who have been here for years fly it instead of moving on to something harder to fly.

OK
In FSO if you had to fly one, would you say "no it's a noob plane" and not show up?

I would. Thing Is In Aces High Its an EZ-mode plane that people use cause they refuse to learn. We tend to say GTFO and fly a real plane (Something that requires skill to fly) to help the new people. Its a fun plane to fly just wont catch me In It besides In a duel Is all.

I understand, that's why I'm not asking how come so few people fly spit16 in MA

I would actually demand that they give me a 109...  I mean its just not fair that the germans get 109s and we get a sissy plane.

I would demand a Boulton Paul Defiant. Or maybe A Horsa glider or a Fairey Battle...   :D

But in this game... I think next tour will be another "dweeb plane" tour. All that talking about lame Spit 16s and lack of virtual ballz and how about players like me are disrespectable when flying a Spit (I'm not a Brit so I'm not allowed to) is really producing a big urge to do so  :aok
