Spit 14, a little something more

[Vinkman]

I have always thought the SpitxIV being perked was a bit of wishful thinking. Having flown it and flown against it, it never seemed worth the perkies. It's a fine plane, but it doesn't instantly make a noob an ace, nor does it's existence make other Spits irrelevant.

every flight i make now is 15k or above. this gives me the advantage of attacking cons lower than me. spit14s are beautiful in this role and in BnZing. a fight i was in it was me in the 14 below 15k with jugMs above and an F4U below and i had 2 squaddies with me one in a ponyB. i killed 3 of the 5 enemies... use the spit as an overpowered P51 that can turn better than a p51 also... its near perfect in this role.

I'm glad you like the Spit14. But still, saying that a La7 has the same capabillities killing a Spit14 as a A6M or a N1K is quite a bit off, isn't it?

If the Spit 14 is on the La-7's turff (below 10k) then it is no contest for the La-7, however, if the La-7 comes to play at the spits house (15K or above) then the fight favors the spit

And? Zekes ans Niks have little chances against a Spit 14 no matter what altitude, the LA only suffers at high alts. Low alt tends to favor the La.

and other planes can take out spit14s at high alts but are worthless at low alts. the spit14 still has a good fighting chance at low alts against even other spits.

Just give the spit14 the large drop tank and that alone will be worth the perks. There is no way to use the 14 at its optimal altitude with the current fuel loadout it has.

with the slipper it goes approx 3-3.4k feet per minute already and just throttle back at altitudes. the spit14 is great around 15k-20k and it doesnt take long for it to get there. my squaddie acehavok flew 4 sectors with one and at the same time got it to 25k feet. granted he had only 5 minutes to fight then leave but for what it needs to do, its fine the way it is.
