I guess there is the suc*** cheat back on server (the one that pull you backward once your in the visor of those aces).

Dav I will answer later I just feel disgusted for now.

If you fly a Spitfire IIa then you dont need a cheat. This plane IS a cheat.
Again. All serverhosters please ban this developers joke from the servers until either the other planes their performance raised or this ones is lowered.

OMG.

The one aircrat that is properly modeled and you all take the pi**.

And you think I have an agenda?

LOL.

[trumps]

the problem is, if it is properly modeled it has no place amongst every thing else that is improperly modeled. would you rather they get rid of all the undermodeled planes and both sides just use the IIa? Wake up ElAurens!!!

"The first recorded Mk II being shot down was with 611 Squadron on September 11th 1940. "

The Spit II shouldn't be the representative aircraft for the RAF in BOB servers. It was a late entry and most of those produced weren't used during the BOB.

Theres an Elephant in this room.
The plain fact is this
The Mk1a should have the rotol prop
Instead spitty flyers have to put up with that godawful 1st gear/ 5th gear prop.
Or fly the Hurricane
As present FM the Mk1a is 30mph slower and doesnt climb as well as the rotol Hurricane
But the Hurricane roll rate is terrible 360* roll takes 2 secs longer than the spitfire,and the spitfire rolls slower than the me109 anyway.

So with slower top speed, poorer climb,slower dive, inferior roll rate, poorer guns, lots less amunition and that infernal neg g cutout combined with the 109`s easier controlability in turns is it any surprise red players want to fly the Mk1I on the servers ? Especially since the blueboys have some new toys.
But the MkII is 60 mph faster than the Mk1a.

So what is really needed is a MK1a with a rotol prop.

The speeds I quote are from a very quick test in mission. straight and level @ 6500 ft

Mk1a 230mph

Rotol Hurri 260mph

MkII 290mph.

This admittedly quick test is obviously not entirely accurate, but feel about right from my time playing online.

To all of you guys. I know the FM´s of Spit Ia and hurri are just as messed as the one of the 109. My only concern is that the spit IIa outclasses the 109 to a degree that makes flying for the blue team totally pointleass except when you are a masochistic person that likes to get banged.
I know people online that do VERY well in their hurricane against the 109. I mean fighting a good hurri pilot in a 109 on even energylevels is a real challenge for a good 109 pilot. Each side has its strengths wich, when used properly, lead you to a victory.
I also admit that the spit Ia is too slow but the Spit IIa just makes it totally pointless. So i dont say nerf it or anything. I just say use a planecombo that actually works well in multiplayer. Nothing else,

PS: And to 1C i say: Please fix those 109s, spitfire Is and were all good.

Why? Both are capable of 350. The Spit is mph, the Messer is km/h. what's the problem?

Who is experienced in on-line flying may not say sincerely that Spit IIa is an identical category with any of the other airplanes. Because of this, it should be ignored on the serious servers.

Wrong, it was in sercive during all of the BOB and made of 40% of the Spitfires at the end of the BOB.
