While on a break from AH2, I was thinking about my disdain for Spitfires and why I never fly them. I
have been a Spit basher (especially the 16) on the forums and in general never really liked them.

Great Visibility
A bubble canopy promotes heightened SA and allows for truly majestic views.
Legendary Maneuverability

Superb Energy Retention

Awesome Firepower

Behold the Seafire Mk. MCMLXXVIII:
