the Spit MkIX is a nice bird to fly. You can also unlock the Spit XVI for getting 100 kills online with any spitfire. Its a nice bird to. But the better pilots tend to stick with the IX.

Many of the issues you address will be updated in the patch, which is released very shortly so try not to wory to much.

Though an insider tip......


use the hawker hurricane, its the best fighter plane in the game. Practically unstoppable in her. She will look after you. Anyone tells you otherwise.... ignore them, they are lying to you lol

It's all a big conspiracy against the Hurri! Be afraid!

Back on topic: about the points deducting, after the update there'll be deduction for suicide, but if they crash after taking damage they won't be 'charged'.

Thanks for the tip on the Hurricane, wished I'd known that earlier. I spent two hours trying to shoot German bombers at Night so that I could move on to the mission that unlocks the MkIX. Strangely enough, its easier to do on Realistic than Arcade as there aren't as many formations.......ah well, I have two decent birds to try later and great news about the scoring to be changed when the update is released.....

Ooh, don't get too excited about the Hurri. It's a decent plane, nice armament, but it's kind of outdated. Very good choice for 1940 games, but it's not that great against late-war fighters.. Try the La, very easy to fly .

Ancient is right (as always) the La 7 is a great fighter and handles extremely well...it is lacking a little on firepower though. The Spit “9” you have now is a great all around plane, it handles well, although it’s a little tricky to learn how to fly at first (bring the elevators to about 40% and work up from there) has good fire power, and you should do well in it. But of course try all the “Great Fighters” and see which one is best for your flying style...

Or.. you can start with checking out a certain plane description guide.

Seraph and everyone else who disregards the hurricane are lying, they just cant handle its raw power and pure beauty....... maybe it knocked them back when they asked for a test flight lol


in all seriousness though.... only use the hurri to intercpt bombers or if the parameters are set to 1940 as seraph said. otherwise.... stick to yer spit the hurricanes butt ugly sister
