Spit IIa
 

So, I have read quite a few posts regarding this a/c.

One question. Why do most people think its over modeled/over powered?

After flying it offline to test some (not all) of the speeds at various alts it seems to conform to most if not all the websites I have visited regarding its real life spec's. Some websites being:

http://www.spitfireperformance.com/spittest.html
http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com/Im...pit2Manual.pdf
http://acepilots.com/planes/specs.html.

All spec's from various sites are rather close. I did not find anything to be "Over powered/Over modeled" when comparing in game to these websites.

I only tested the speeds at various alts and nothing else. Using combat and normal operating procedures (by that I mean using it so not to blow an engine) I found it within the stated specs from the websites I visited.

So am I missing something here, have I not found the end all be all of spitfire specs website?

I know there are 2 sides to this debate: "the 109 is superior and should not be out performed by a spit" and the other side "The spit was far superior and could out perform the 109". Both planes had advantages in different areas of combat and normal flight. So, can anyone provide irrefutable proof that the Spit IIa is not modeled properly in game (conforming to real life specifications).

I am neither saying it is or it isn't. I am just trying to get your facts (not an opinion) to either prove it is or it isn't over modeled.

Cheers

Have a good read, the search function is your friend too.

Not most of the people but most of those who fly for the blue side primarily ;)

Lol, Well that would be the most obvious statement of the year then ;) what you mean the side that doesn't fly it?

:rolleyes:

Could either mean the 'those' who fly red are not honest or that the Spit II is indeed correct.

I don't really care at this point, we like to fly more historical minded missions and the Spit II doesn't show up in those all that much, if not at all.

Simple its not over modelled the other aircraft are under modelled..

(Blue) guys: Don't take it (yourself) so seriously ;)

Read my post again, fact is what I am looking for, various websites giving specs to compare in game performance to either prove or disprove its current modeled state. But thanks for your input.

It's mostly those that fly German ONLY and always outbalance the teams. :rolleyes:

MkII Spit is a bit later version and it's slightly better than the available German planes. So this guys that are used to easilly get away from the earlier versions of the spit, without any kind of effort, get their panties in a bunch when they have to actually work hard for a kill, or even for survival.:rolleyes:

"Grass is allways greener on the other side of the fence" type of atitude.

There is your answer. Move on to new ground, this horse has suffered enough.
