Spitfire is Trash (And reason why)

[chicks99]

I'm trying Britain out and I get to the Spitfire Mk2 B the one with cannons and some weak ass mgs. I play a few matches with very bad results. First off, if you plan on blaming me stop reading, It's never my fault. Secondly It's always the plane's fault, not mine. If I can fly a BF109 (People who call it a ME109 are 11 year olds trying to sound smart) perfectly fine and aim it perfectly well then I should be able to do the same in the Spitfire yes? But no, The Spitfire is a defective pile of junk. Here are some reasons why:

1 - I am always going against American Enemies which for the record have a much more powerful engine than the Spitfire. I'm always diving on them and they somehow always out run me EVEN THOUGH I JUST DIVED. The Spitfire is horrible past 350 mph (Yes I use MPH, Km/h is just inflated numbers for people who think bigger is better) and does not like to Go Fast at all. So these American Planes refusing to dogfight me always run away and bnz me instead, Trash plane. Planes need speed to live, as I heard a slow plane is a dead plane from all the veteran players in top tier.

2 - Wing Mounted guns is a huge annoyance. They're never accurate, They only work against bombers and you need to set gun convergence, which never works out well. Bf109s are superior because they are nose mounted which makes it much easier to aim.

3 - Level of skill required to fly the Spitfire is obnoxious. I hear people on youtube saying you need skill to fly the Spitfire. Well to those people who are going to criticize me and say I have no skill, then explain why I do better in a Bf109. Bf109 also takes skill to fly, a lot of people need to learn how to energy fight in it. However a friend of mine (who is a british fanatic) says that the Spitfire takes more skill, alright but then that admits the spitfire pilots are more tryharding than Bf109 pilots.

4 - The engine over heats and is underpowered. Seriously? You're going to put a weak engine in a plane that will always overheat and when It's on 100% radiator you're slowed down by 30 mph?

5 - Weak Flaps, I have to deploy landing flaps at 150mph or Less because IDK, the Spitfire is trash at high speeds. But the Bf109 can deploy flaps at 180mph because superior german engineering allows for it.

6 - I get maps in the Spitfire where I have to land on carriers. For goodness sake Gaijin needs to keep those maps to NAVAL Fighters only. I had a battle just recently and literally 5 spitfires including me died trying to land on a carrier. Some went Kaboom, others fell into the ocean. If the spitfire doesn't have arrestor cable capabilities then why send it to a Naval battle? As my point goes GERMANY never gets a carrier map. Germany ALWAYS gets an airfield, which in my opinion is a big plus for Germany.

TLDR:
1 - Spitfire bad
2 - Can't fly at high speeds, can't chase americans.
3 - Wing mounted guns inaccurate, bf109 better.
4 - Bf109 needs less tryharding.
5 - Spitfire weak engine overheats.
6 - Bf109 superior flap capabilities.
7 - Spitfire thrown in naval combat and can't even land on a carrier.

Germany > Britain

Sorry for this unorganized mess, had to rant to get out some salt. I've made a vow to never play British planes again so no use persuading me to go back to Britain.

hahaha the bait is set, good fishing!

"First off, if you plan on blaming me stop reading, It's never my fault. Secondly It's always the plane's fault, not mine."

And there's the first mistake. The plane is perfectly capable and it's a great plane for people looking for a nice turnfighter. The only place you get American enemies as Britain is in the Hokkaido exercise I believe and in those rare cases you can just lure them into a turnfight and wear down their energy. The Spitfire does better defensively than offensively in my experience and top tier is a very different meta in supersonic jets rather than early war prop fighters. Speed is certainly important but so is altitude and proper tactics. BF-109s are harder to fly but they have a different playstyle and comparing a Spitfire to a BF-109 is like comparing apples and oranges. Run the engine on auto control at 96% to get your good power and thrust for a lower temperature in the optimal and yellow zones. Flaps aren't needed in the Spitfire because of how well it turns already and they just kill your speed. And last, of course Germany never gets carrier maps. They have no carrier capable planes like the British, Americans, or Japanese do, making them not get carrier maps.

Wow, you started with 109s.

Then tried P47s and complained it could not turn and you could not hit anything with it because of wing mounted guns (6 x 50 cals, like shredding every thing in front of it).

Now you try Spitfires (turners (so not very fast) with not so good armament).

And now you complain that a turner like a Spitfire can't fly so fast and thus can't chase the American planes?

No shít Sherlock!


What's next?

You'll try the Japanese and complain about missing armor and lacking in top speed?

[Ichigo]

wow terrible bait

Idk man I love the early spitfires. The guns on that thing are lethal.

[Nihongophile]

Not gonna lie fam, this is some pretty low quality bait.

[A..hole]

Planes suck.
i keep falling asleep when i wait for them to come close enough to shoot them.
every time i try to go uphill in them, the pilot fall asleep and fall down again.
why don't they have tracks? much easier to roll on the ground looking for enemies

[M0mdeck]

BF109s noobs, ha pfu

[Fear_Naught]

All spitfires are good, you just have to get use to them. The only downside with the early spitfires isn't even the guns. I think its the engine, more specifically the overheat problem. This can be solved with MEC but its annoying. Apart from that the spits climb well, turn great and the weapons although not the most reliable, are pretty good at critical hits and pilot KO in my opinion. Play it more mate, experiment and all that jazz. watch jengar or adam 514 on youtube.

[Shimozukachi]

1. right. anything except the usa wants bigger numbers.
2. yes
3. because the bf109 is NOT a spitfire and will never be one. excuse yourself for comparing that british crap with a beautiful bf109.
4. yes
5. yes
6. get a bf109 or fw190. it can do that

[TasteDasRainbow]

Ignoring your obvious bait and what not, I do find an unsettling weight balance of the weapons, in that they often end up rotating your air frame from the recoil.

km/h is the metric system, a system far superior to the imperial system in every way shape and form.

km/h is the metric system, a system far superior to the imperial system in every way shape and form.

As I said, km/h is inflated. 767mph is a much easier number to remember considering its only 3 digits for mach 1 rather than 1235 km/h which is a 4 digit number for mach 1. Even though I remember both off the top of my head mph is still much better IMO. The Metric system is French, the Imperial system is British. As America came from Britain we still use miles, feet, yards, and gallons. Why do I need to look at a bigger number rather than a smaller number for measuring speed? Is it because you lack confidence and need bigger numbers to make you feel better? Although sometimes it is bad to have a bigger number for measuring things like height (3 meters tall vs 6'0) Relative Speed does not need a bigger number.
