FREE SPIT 14 and new perk changes to other planes!

[Fish42]

The IL-2 is still slightly ahead of the Lancaster in air to ground kills in the current year. A-20 and Lancaster combined have ~14% of all A2G kills at the moment.

Current ranking:
1. A-20 (9.40 %)
5. Il-2 (4.95 %)
6. Lancaster (4.84 %)
10. Ju-87G (2.81 %)
11. B-25H (2.55 %)
35. Hurri D (0.68 %)

Whats the bet that the american bomb trucks like the Pony/Jug/P38 & F4U are also near the top of that list.

Absolutely.  F-6F, P-51D, F4U-D are right behind the A-20

Yep, like I thought. Everyone keeps pointing to the lancs

I believe it has to do with a gross abuse of a platform.   

I'm surprised someone has not leaked out of their diapers regarding the increase in perk price for the F4U-1C and F4U-4, they both took a big jump (and rightfully so, imo).  The Frank is still at 20 ENY which surprises me, the La7 went back DOWN to 5 ENY which is good, and the change in the firefly is good to see as well.  Having the P40's pushed up to 40 ENY was a good move too, but a surprise none the less.   

HTC went took everything in the right direction, imo.  I still think some aircraft could use an adjustment (P51D and Spit16 specifically), both of them could easily be below 5 ENY.

Noobz gonna fly Uber Stangz and Spitz, Hataz gonna hate.

By how much? 

Still need a list!

Spit14 ~ K4
Pity they think "the spit14 cant turn". While its not a zeek, surely it can, and can do it really well. A whole lot better than how a 190 can so no need for running away.

Below 8k the 190s own it.  Above 18k the 190s best take it to the house...since 80% of the actual fights are below 15k, the 190s don't have much to worry about if they have an idea of what their doing.

The 14 does not fly like the K4 contrary to popular opinion.  People try to fly it like a K4...the uber people get away with it but normal pilots will just end up asking themselves why the 14 won't climb well at low alts

perk it!

that dark age has passed. Lets not go back there

The Spit 14 is the worst turning Spitfire.  That is like saying that the 911 is the worst performing Porche.  The Spit14 will shine if it is flown less like a Spit 8/9/16 and more like a 109K-4, the big thing is that the Spit14 is a ways behind the other Spitfires in every category except in speed and climb.  The Spit14 pilots biggest threat will be the Spit16's, mark my word.  The 2 models are too close in speed and climb, yet the 16 can turn better roll way better, is more forgiving, and is more "typical" to fly (left turning, more stable, better at slow speeds).

Vs the 190's I believe the Spit14 will be just fine.     

btw..., for Looshey: the new perk price for both the -1C and -4 is 26.

I'd like to know as well. If the 14 is free I'll be flying rather frequently now

It's so easy to shoot down compared to the other Spitires because it turns very rough due to all that torque and I especially dare you to use wep when turn fighting.  

You can run away in it, but then why not just up a P51D?

Having said that, I may try it a bit more to catch runners and deal with the huge torque challenge for a diversion.

you must be kidding !

Fw190a5 now have higher ENY than the Fw190a8
