It works nicely.

beware of some nasty (non CoD) rocket powered Hurri and spits or you'd get badly surprised !

Even when flying red I tend to get annoyed with the Spit-2 as ATM. I personally won't fly it. when I do get a kill or successfully evade a AC that has the advantage, I like to know it was me not the AC . Also when chasing after an opponents 6 and you get passed by the quicker 2 and he gets your chance at a kill, AHHHH frustrating. Hopefully FM fixes will put an end to the Demonization of this beautiful AC.

I also don´t fly the Spit IIa anymore, since it is just too easy and your last remaining foe is a High-G Blackout. I fly for the challenge and not easy kills, therefore I switched back to Spit Ia and ROTOL very quickly. I can´t really believe how one can produce a simulation with relatively questionable FLight and perfomance models, when these mdoels are so off historic reality.

the IIa shld be available only to new pilots that want to test themself online.

The whole idea of an easy mount is a good one. But when I see squads and old aces flying that model it makes me desesperate of the whole com.

Note : you can't B&Z some of them. they are so much faster (some not all ) !

Good idea if you could get it to work. Like a pass key from server moderators maybe.

There has been some discussion here on "opportune warping". Be advised the Memboost utility (also discussed here) causes a warp apparent to other players when it does its thing.

Interesting, I guessed it would do if you used the 'defrag memory' option but not during its routine cleaning. Mine does that every 60 seconds and I haven't been told I'm warping but I'll get the guys to watch out for it.

It is 5 airplanes, 5 frigging airplanes!!!!

C'mon guys, get over it!!!!

1 vs 1 is bad news I agree. So, don't!
I got killed a lot of times in a Spit II vs three Bf109.
Yesterday, I think I shot 2-3 SpitII flying solo in my Bf109.

There is nothing more, nothing less.

And so many posts for 5 planes (which get vulched mercilesly 90% of the time before take off) it not worth it!

my 2cents...

When I get to play there are at most 15 to 20 players and that drops of to as low as 10. With 5 Spit 2s( I thought it was 4) thats a large enough number of Superior AC to make a battle one sided.

It is hilarious. I was online on Sunday and it was about 20 vs 20. 14, yes 14, of the 109's were E4's and 4 were E3's. Only 2 E1's. Funny, I don't remember seeing any historical accuracy complaints about that.

For the record I have not read of one incident from WW2 where the 109 could hang on 45 degrees from CO-e and watch the Spitfire fall away helplessly. In actual fact the opposite is more likely true given that the standard escape for a Spitfire was a steep climbing turn.

I trust therefore that we won't hear any complaints when you can no longer use this tactic.
