Spit 14, a little something more

[Imowface]

As the spitfire Mk.XIV is the only perk Spit in the game, I propose to add something to make the perks a bit more worth it,
aside from being a dream at high alt, one thing that would set it apart from the other Spitfires would be to give it a bubble canopy, out of the 900 Mk.XIV's made, 400 of these were equipped with it, I think it would be a good addition for aces high, as it would give the already great spit an even better rear view, and set it appart visually from the other Spitfires.

I disagree.  It does not need a hit to its already poor directional stability.

What I think would be good is to give it 150 octane fuel and run it at +21lbs boost on WEP.

[Imowface]

Has HTC ever stated what Octane fuel we have in AH? does it use a universal fuel?

The plane is uber. Leave it as is. Would you want HTC to add a bigger engine to the K4? What I thought.

Would love for the K-4 to have a bigger engine 

but operationaly, a bubble cannopy was an option for the XIV, as it already costs perks, I dont see why this should be over looked

I propose to simply drop the perks.

It is using 100 octane.  HTC doesn't have to say anything for that to be easy to determine.  It's climb and speed capabilities tells us that, even if we didn't trust the gauges telling us it is at +18lbs boost.

The Bf109K-4 isn't perked. If it were, you might have a point.

[DERK13]

id have to disagree the spit is good as is, if you dont like the spit 14 grab another plane. Need a new plane, id like to see more carrier based aircraft

[Guppy35]

Your numbers are misleading as many of those bubble top XIVs were postwar.  It just doesn't make that much difference visibility wise and performance would be the same so why waste the programming time when it can go to other birds?

And yes I like Spits, but would prefer other things get done first.

Yea drop the perks. While we're at it, add a 20mm P-51, oh and if we can find room a B-29. Let us not forget the F4U-4C and also the Sea Fury.

And please leave the 190A-8 and its incorrect model which has been admitted by HTC.

The spit 14 is a very special plane in AH. If you know how to use it you will survive in it far more better than a 262. I've only lost 1 or 2 in about 4 years. Everytime I run into a spit 14 it gets owned within 1 min by me or another person. I like the spit 14 better than the tempest but one of the down sides is fuel.

I'd like a Spitfire FR.XIV just for the extra fuel and the bubble canopy. Since a good many of them had clipped wings, it would be SO unstable but it would have pretty decent performance!

Never going to happen but it's nice to have a longer-ranged high-performance Spitfire.

Yeah, I have never really noticed a problem from any spit14's I run into.

So you agree to adding a bigger engine to the K-4?
