Why is it that the spitfire is harder to fly than a sopwith camel?
Um, which Sopwith Camel? I doubt that there are many of us that have flown a real one. If you are talking about simulations, I'd say the CloD Spits are a darned sight easier to fly than the Camel in Rise of Flight for instance - at least one with a fullish fuel tank. Perfect for dogfighting once (if?) you get used to it - especially if you purchase the 'enlarged hole in top wing' mod (Extra hole! yours for only $1.50! http://riseofflight.com/en/store/wea.../Sopwith_Camel ) but lethal until you do. Little stability in any axis until the fuel tank is at least 2/3 empty, a vicious spin, and an engine that over-revs and fills your face with oil at every opportunity. The CloD Spit is a pussycat in comparison.
