Well I finally got shot down by a human flown Spit tonight for the first time. First of all a big thumbs up to the pilot as I met him at 3000 metres! He had a bit of an advantage to start as I had to climb and turn to get on him to ID him first.
I managed to keep him in front of my nose for a few turns back and forth by doing some high yo yos. I got some MG shots on him first from a distance and saw him streaming coolant. So I thought I had this Spit 2 under control. He then went into a dive and I climbed a bit to wait for him to come up again below me. So I'm expecting him to zoom back up and slow down below me as I've been spiral climbing. Nah he zoomed up and not only that, he did a hard turn whilst climbing and got some shots that knocked out part of my engine and my radiators! Now he was co alt with me and still hauling. You can actually gain altitude by diving and zooming up again but this was very unexpected. I then did a helpless power dive to get away but my craft was a bit of a mess, I did some bunts and reverses and managed to get an overshoot but he turned on a dime and was right back on my tail. Engine shot to pieces, canopy off and out for a swim in the channel. It's official I'm scared of the Spit MKII that thing is mean! In the right hands it's an almost impossible match for the 109. Salute to the pilot too, it wasn't just the plane. Last edited by xnomad; 09-08-2011 at 10:56 AM.

Its not going to go away so we may as well accept the fact thats its here and here to stay, lets just hope the 109 gets it top speed sorted and the Devs look closely at what power that Spit2 actually has..
Its one of those 25lb spit il2 situations..your choice to fly on the servers that have it, unfortunately there isnt a lot of FR big mapped servers to choose from right now.. Note to devs DO NOT put cannons on that thing

Well Ive just been messing around in a dogfight server...
You have to be very very fast when BnZ a Spit who knows your there, they can turn and climb back on your 6 without loosing hardly any E...its quite laughable to be honest...I actually join them as otherwise its just a waste of time flying

well i was just online.and yeah its really hard for the bfs now.if the spits see you, then you hardly have a chance even with alt advantage.they outclimb,outdive you really fast, not to mention that they outturn you.
boom and zoom is a bit a problem too, because of the white dots the planes have now.its not really possible to identify the planes from a certain distance.but even when you are lucky and dive to the right plane, you better aim good with you mineshells, or they will quickly be on you six.

Now i understand that if i want to fly like that then i would of took a 190 before in Il2 but.. what do you do here exactly? If Spits dont come high then youve got a boring night in front of you, then if they do...fair play getting away

 So maybe what I was saying before has some merrit. You sure it was a spitII. I haven't been able to gain or maintain the alt advantage after the patch no matter what i'm up against. (only 2 occurances but it is out of 2 flights)I need to keep practicing online to be sure but I have a feeling somethings changed in the FMs.

Today (before i lost the fun so quickly like every day since the patch and the people started to add IIas to the maps) i flew on one of the channelmapservers and met BKHZ Furbs there. I had more than 1000m height advantage and dived down VERY fast. I managed to hit him once. I was able to make 2 or 3 more dives before he had height. The game ended pretty much with me flying around below him not able to do anything but avoid his hits all the time. Trying to run would have just made me a steadier target so i kept scissoring and turning below him. It ended with us colliding. If it s the same Furbs i know from ROF than i know he knows that it was just way too easy to dominate me like that all the time. It really felt like he was flying circles around me. I mean thats just wrong. Winger Last edited by Winger; 09-08-2011 at 08:20 PM.

Yep Winger, i was testing the spit2 for myself and your first burst put a huge hole in my right wing and damaged my engine, though i was still able to climb up to you and equal the energy state and from then on it was easy to turn tables and keep trying for shots on you. i know your a good pilot Winger and it felt far too easy, if i had more practice (im a blue pilot) then it would of been over much quicker...even with my damaged spit.
The spit2 leaves the 109 with nothing to do...it cant climb,dive,run or turn with the spit2.
