The current Spit Mk1a is not right in its specification or its FM. If people are discussing these issues then it is more constructive to debate them rather than impy posters are incompetent. It makes posters feel that their opinion is worthless on a baseless assumption.

The Clod Spit Mk1a is very capable at altitude and handles beautifully but the Bfs have had a lot of goodies in previous patches. Spit Mk1 jockeys are still stuck with a 'Boost Cut Out' that does nothing, a top speed of 245mph, a two speed prop and debatable Neg G modelling.

Id respond by posting a graph showing the under-modeled nature of the 109E-4.
Wait a minute...

And I agree that EVERYTHING in the game needs to have its FM reworked, including the current inaccurate Spits.

I don't know him or his abilities, whats more is that without something to back his opinion its pointless.
I mean how many times have we seen this in the past with IL2?
"Aircraft A is over-modeled because when I'm flying aircraft B it shoots me down every time!"
....

Really though, what worth is an opinion if you don't have any data to base it off of?

Trying to base the truth of an FM off of "Well it cant be right because I cant shoot them down in game" is ludicrous.
Saying that an aircraft is under-modeled in regard to a certain aspect (say 109E's top speed?) and then posting technical information showing the difference from the accepted in game performance of that aircraft is another thing entirely.

Now I did ask him to post his evidence, or something at all that backs his claim because were after the truth here, right?

And I have to admit I took a short temper with him because of his other "The 109 is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO uber!" threads. its just annoying.
Sorry for any offense, none intended.
