I love the spit
its beautiful , graceful and a joy to fly...
but you cant run from a fight, you have to stay and duke it out..if you get home you deserve it...and its fragile..its not that uber..( dont fly the 16 though)
its got an undeserved bad rep...
if you cant run and in a fragile plane..fightings your only option..with odds stacked against you..gotta love it...come get some..I`ll play !

I consider myself one of the best in the Spitfire. It took a lot of time for me to settle on a favorate fighter, and the Spit is it. I also enjoy the 51, the American Spitfire. :)

Hardest part of flying a spit is the gunnery.

It is easy. Recovers quickly if you make a mistake turns nicely does all things either good or ok.

If I have a friend who tries aces for the first time I tell him to fly a spit.

The spitfire is just a completely +1 in design over all the other prop driven fighters of the era.

Its spectrum of potential is much much greater as a dogfighter, and if you have watched bruv fight in it, you can see that plain as day.

Its easy to grow into, but hard to fill. It seems like a bit of a paradox at first, but its as simple as that. The design has everything to take fighting to the next level and that is why it seems easy for newbies to get kills in it.

Its not like someone who tries to fly a zero just to get the 1 up satisfaction of turning inside an opponent of American Iron, that is flying with intent, the spitfire doesn't have that, it just is and isn't apologetic about it.
