"Noob Planes"

[VonShiza]

I absolutely enjoy flying the Spitfire and I think I do pretty well with it.  I fly the Spit not only for it's in game flying, but for it's valued history and good looks.  Although some may say it is a "noob" plane, I disagree and think there is no such thing as a "noob" plane.  I think of myself as a pretty formidable foe in the Spit and my overall score, (I think) is not too bad, averaging out at around 890 or so.  (And that's with a horrible score in vehicles, cuz I hate driving)

I know of many people that can take a P-51 or P-38 and get an unheard of amount of kills in them and those are pretty easy to fly.  What they are hard at, is to master.

Seriously, this "noob" plane crap should be thrown out.  If you get shot down by a noob in a steady rock-solid flying machine then that is your fault for allowing him to HO you or get on your six.  Shame on you but don't blame it on the plane.  Fly to have fun and fly what works best for you.

I flew an LA7 last night and it cheerd my day up. I took it up, and almost everything flew in my sights, and by 10 kills, I thought I would land. It's too bad that I didn't get to, because I got my wing sawed off before I could get back, but I did enjoy that.

If you want to fly it.....fly it. I fly my favorite and you should too.

Hmmmm, I never thought about it as flying some plane. I always thought it was the pilot. Go figure.

They call it a "Noob plane" because its so easy to fly and get kills in. It requires less effort and less skill to as you say "master" then many of the other planes.

The spit can make a poor pilot ok, an ok pilot decent, a decent pilot good, and a good pilot great. ( pilot who sucks, will suck no matter the plane til he learns to be a poor pilot)
It is the tricycle with training wheels.

I fly the 190 alot. Hardly an easy plane to fly let alone master I seem to do reasonably well in them (this tour excluded LOL)

If you really want to improve on that ranking. Fy the other planes  enough to become at least "ok" in them. Learn what they can and cant do well.
And when you go back to your spit. You will find these planes even easier to kill. (though this statement holds true whichever your ride choice is)
But along the way. You may even find as to why. Folks call the spit a "noob plane"

A pilot of just about anything else will have an easier time adapting to a spit. then a spit driver will have adapting to flying just about anything else.

But as others have mentioned. its your money. your fun.
Fly whatever makes YOU happy.

FIrst off, fly what ever you want. As long as your having fun and not "griefing" other players go for it.

The spits have the name of dweeb planes because they are easier to fly, easy to get kills in, easy to recover in a spin, and easy to escape with if need be, so a lot of "dweebs" fly them. It is the number 1 recommended plane for the new guys to try. But it's just a "name". The LA and the Nik also fall into that category. Other names are the RunStang (P51), the Run90 (FW190), the little bomber (P38), most of the 190 series is considered the HO machines, and I'm sure there are many others.

Don't let it bother you, It's never going to change. The spit has been always know as the "dweebfire"... well for as long as I've been playing (15+ years in three different games).

I only HO in retaliation to a HO or when vastly outnumbered. and then sometimes not even then.
I run (extend) when I cannot maneuver anymore as its foolish for a 190 to continue to turn fight planes like the spit or the 109NIK or KI. Or to set up position.
and I am just as likely to take a fight up. As I am away. It all depends on the circumstance.

i fly the p38 almost exclusivley. i suck in it too. but i have fun. i constantly hear crap though, mostly from guys in little wiggly planes. they complain because i won't get low and slow with them in a knife fight. i fly them the way they work for me. that means keeping somewhat fast, and vertical.
 sometimes i'll take out a 38G, and get into the middle of a furball, or simply a good fun 1-1...which often ends up being a many vs 1(me being the one), and THAT turns into fun.

 you're right.....they're not noob planes, although in most situations, they are considerably easier to fight in, than something like a p38, p51, fw190, etc.(i flew the spit5, and 9 while i was learning, along with the hurri and zeek, then moved on to the rides i love). you'll get people complaining......ignore em. those particular people will ALWAYS find something to complain about. if you got out of your spit, and into a pony, and beat em, they'll still whine. it seems to be a growing trend in the arenas.

have fun dude!

Fly what you want when you want .All this dweeb plane  this dweeb plane that is pants !The spitfire was a nice plane to fly by all acount's for a reason , back then you got about 9-10 hours on it before you were let loose in combat so dont slagg the spitfire in game for being realistic(ish )
The things that should be the topic  are divebombing heavy bombers , and my all time favourite ,  the buff that drops then bails  , these 2 tactics are dweebery in it's purest form

As long as you get your kills, that counts
