What plane do you prefer: spitfire Ixc,Ixe or a tempest v????
???

If we are talking stock aircraft as included with the game then Tempest every time. However if we are talking add ons the AvHistory MkIX is miles better than the stock model and the two MkXIVs they have rule the sky.

I prefer the spitfire to much, because of his appereance, fligh and the way does it flies, the sound of his motor... I dont like the tempest because it hasnt got mg shoots, and of course for his appereance.

Hands down.......I think my sig says it all........ 8)

Are we talking in a ground attack role or fighter? If so, then ground, for sure the Tempest. I even think it was kind of the birth child for the A-10. With it's armoured cockpit and awsome fire power. If fighter, hands down, a Spit will out manouver a Tempest any day of the week.

My grandfather flew both of them. He said the Spit was a dream boat and a lovley piece of machinary. As for the Tempest, he said once you could control it, there was not much on the ground ( or slow moving air targets) that could get away from it's fire power. A funny thing, he said when you see models of Tempests these days, they forgot to put the most contraversal decal in the kits. He said  the Tempest had a bad knack for the huge air intake to catch fire on start - up. So the military decided to put a warning on the intake on each side. It stated:

I must remind Flightmedic that the Tempest was a high altitude interceptor and not a ground attack aircraft. The Typhoon was the tankbuster.

I wouldn't be too sure on that. Each have their strengths and weaknesses. Afterall, if Corsair's could tackle Zeros then surely Tempests can take on Spitfires. In the end I reckon it would go down to who jumped who. But remember, both could absolutely cream an Fw190.

definitly the tempest for its extreme fire power and armour. And also cos alot of New Zealanders flew them in the war


cheers

To be honest, although the fighter type helps a lot, I think it mainly depends on the pilot, you can be dogfighting in the most superior fighter ever built, but if your tactics aint up to par, then you'll be taken down even by a completely obsolete type if its pilot knows his stuff. I try to practice on most of the enemy planes in free flight, just to keep their strengths and weaknesses fresh in my head. But I must admit when it comes to the choice between a Spit and a Tempest, I would have to pick a IX. But if its the four 20mm's you want, I recommend the 1% Spit mkVC, it seems to have bout the same maneouvarability as the stock IXc but with those four cannons (YEAHH ).
