Six lines of gibberish and four misused punctuation marks.

I hold this up and present it to you as my nomination for "Idiot Junk of the Year."
He's a new player asking for help and you respond with insults and mockery?  Classy.

OK, my bad.

That should read as: "IDIOTIC Junk of the Year."

Well if your quoting your own post I would have to agree....

"I was in a hellcat dropped down on two spit 16 on the deck got one the other followed me up and got me after I had a 1.0 climb headstart."

Well done on getting the first Spitfire - but trying to out-climb a Spitfire XVI in a Hellcat is a bad move, even with a thousand yards head-start. You lost energy by pulling up into the climb and the surviving Spitfire accelerated quicker than you, presumably from a starting speed not much less than yours, which enabled him to 'cut the corner' and get on your six.

Better luck next time.

You will learn a lot about the game and how there are moves that some AC can do that is physically impossible to do in real life.  and there are moves that can be done in real life that you can not do in the game.  Case example, spits in the game that break will have this crazy out of control spinning all around in circals then they dive away.  If they do that in real life that spit with be tore apart.  I seen B-24 in the game do barrow rolls that i never hear it do in real life.  Nor do i think it can never be done. 

actually, they wouldn't.

what you describe ia a "departure" stall. the pilot pulled too hard, exceeded the critical angle of attack, the and the aircraft stalled/spun. he recovered, and continued on his way.

Why shouldn't they?

Ever seen a Boeing 747 do a barrel roll?

 Mybad. 707 it is.


 There seems to be a debate on whether the 747 could do it.

 Some say the only 747 they've seen doing a barrel roll was the Airforce-1.

If the spitfire had 25% fuel and you had 75% fuel then that may be your answer

Alt R is your friend, hit it, save the film, and review it yourself/post it up here.

Just a note; we now have the option to automatically begin recording at the start of a sortie.

   I fly the 190d alot and it will outrun spits most of the time unless they have alot more E. Don't even try to out climb a spit or slow turn fight one. You will lose. Dive your 190 when in trouble and it's speed will help you slowly pull away. When the spit disengages you can then climb and get back into the fray.   :D

you 190d drivers aren't the only ones to do that.

ponyb drivers do that a LOT in mw. there's a couple 190 drivers in mw, that will more often than not, stay and fight.....for the fun of it. angel666 and larry come to mind..........

You'd be very hard pressed to find any post from TESaw that was helpful and not a pathetic attempt at a troll/flame.
