Thanks for the objective videos Defyn, i love it when you do demonstrations of a plane's capabilites in a consise and honest way. Would be amazing to hear your opinions on some other planes in that way

Not sure if anyone noticed but tt LF mk9 has 270 cannon rounds compared to 240 on plagis

Yep, it's because of the different wings, the LF Mk IXC has the C type wing. Basically the spitfires had different wing types, they had the A type wing which could hold only 8x .303 browning, the B type wing which could hold 2x Hispano Mk.II with 60 rpg + 4x .303 browning, the C type wing which was essentially universal, allowing for either 8x .303 although that was to my knowledge never used, 2x Hispano Mk.II with 120 rpg + 4x .303 browning or 4x Hispano Mk.II with 120 rpg. The E type wing came around later in the war, allowing for the mounting of the M2 browning .50 and the possible weapon configs for the wings were either 4x Hispano Mk.II with 120 rpg or 2x Hispano Mk II with 135 rpg + 2x M2 browning .50 with 260 rpg. This is also the wing the F Mk XIVe and F Mk XVIIe usez and also the wing the tech tree LF IX uses, as it is a later model than the LF IXc that the plagis is.

@@v3es473 Another FYI: the "e" type wing was originally created to accommodate underwing bombs, because in a "c" type they'd be hanged on the same section of the wing where cannons were situated (and thus the stress on a particular section would be tremendous). That's why in "e" wings the cannons are situated in outer ports instead of inner ones.

Its also has the Tailfin of the MkV, while the tree LF MkIX has the extended Tailfin of HF Spits MK VII/VIII. The Plagis is a fine Plane like it more then the one from the Tree

I think you kinda missed the beauty of what the FR Mk XIV does compared to the normal griffon. The extra roll rate gives you a much easier time getting shots in. The extra speed allows you to keep pace with faster enemies as they try to gain separation or move between furballs. Basically it fixes the two most annoying things about the F Mk XIV at 5.7. At that BR there are very few hold S key fights, few pilots at that BR are that dumb against the spits. Its almost exclusively energy traps from GER + minor nations and boom and zoom from the US. Having more speed going into a fight really helps in both situations. You can use the energy bleed to reverse people like nobodies business. And the loss of the turn and climb isn't enough to give many enemies an advantage they didn't already have before the clipping. The only one that really comes to mind is the Yak 3U. It's one of my best planes. You can ride the griffon engine hard. Run it into orange. A couple minutes back in the white basically resets the overheat. Shutting the rads to zero in a dive turns it into a speeding banshee. The fast fuel burn really helps performance mid game on 20 min fuel. Best of luck! And great content as always!

YP-38 is a warcrime SL printer in AAB if you don't dislike the 37mm (something like 20mms would be way better but it would increase its br). It's a 2.3 plane so it can be used in a 2.0 lineup, which means that it will face reserves pretty much every single battle, and this is a Lignthing.

One thing to consider with the 5.7 spits is that if you play RB you will all most always get the small games with 4 JU-288s and 2 fighters so you will will never actually get to dogfight with them. I love the Plagis spit, but you just don't get good games with it.

As someone who just got the TT LF Mk IX today. This is absolutely true, all the Games ive been having were US and Brit VS Germany (sometimes with Italy). And most of the games were small and consisted of 3-4 288s while only having 2-3 Fighters and 0-1 Strike aircraft (Do 335), while we got 5-6 Fighters xD

@rainsilent Жыл бұрын

@@Siddich Actually the clipped wings are very, very slightly faster. Very, very slightly being about 2mph. They should be anywhere from 5-15mph faster depending on the specific Spit variants. Clipped wings have very usable strengths. The issue is that the trade off for those strengths magnifies the weaknesses of the Spitfire design that much more essentially meaning that you can't fly a clipped wing like a traditional Spit at all. That said the clipped wing LF.IX is the best clipped wing by far. You take the only Spit that is at least above average in MER, clip the wings for snappier handling for a slight reduction in turn and MER? Personally I like it.

In Griffon Spits vs the LF Merlin Spits, no doubt you'll lose in the turnfight. I still enjoy them though, their playstyle imo still fits the meta because of their performance characteristics. The gap between you and the energy fighters is narrowed, so it's harder for people to just run away from you, which can happen a lot for the Merlin Spits. If you think of it more as a hybrid than a turnfighter, I still think you can have great results.

@rainsilent Жыл бұрын

5.7 Griffons are around 10mph faster in level flight than the LF.IX at relevant alts. They trade a crap ton of maneuverability, climb and MER for a small boost in level flight speed 5km and below. It really isn't a good trade off. The only real meaningful performance gain that Griffons provide is 6km+. Ironic that the clipped wing Griffon was a special meant to maximize low alt performance to deal with V-1 flying bombs, specifically in regards to speed, and yet it is barely any faster than the other Griffons.

@reinbeers5322 Жыл бұрын

@@rainsilent Why would they use relatively slow spitfires for chasing V-1s when the Typhoons, Tempests, and even P-51Bs were all much faster?

@rainsilent Жыл бұрын

@@reinbeers5322 Because they could catch them in a dive, they had more Spits than anything else at home squadrons, at least til late 44, and they were the fastest planes that could respond in a pinch. Granted in level flight most Spits couldn't keep up with the V-1s but you don't need to keep up when you just need to catch for long enough to shoot them down. Most early V-1 kills were by Spits.

@rainsilent Жыл бұрын

Also I should say that the clipped wing for Griffons was mostly done for that. Clipped wings for Merlins was just for LF version Merlins.

that spitfire is old on Doof's account, defyn's decal scheme with the double faced shield on the left wingtip, the sword with wings on top of it and the other red shield on the left elevator. What i miss is the half red thingy on the cannon of one of the wings, like on the f4u-4b. Just a tiny detail I saw.

@@kingghidorah8106 That's an old mistake on Gaijin's part. While updating the Spitfires' models, they took all premium LF Mk.IXs and mistakenly gave them an F Mk.IX model (early air intake without a filter, smaller rudder). That's likely just because all premium Mk.IXs have earlier weapons setup (c), unlike the tech-tree LF Mk.IXe

@martijn9568 Жыл бұрын

@@MDzmitryI don't even think that's much of a mistake. The F Mk IX in the British tech tree is using the Merlin 61 engine, which is a Spitfire Mk V engine, slapped with a bigger supercharger on top. The other Spitfires you guys are talking about run the Merlin 63, or 66 series engine. These engine were capable of running the new 130 octane fuel (and later 150 octane). The difference seems tiny, but the result is huge. With an increase in horsepower from around 1500 hp to 1700 hp.

I want to point this out and I hope to get pinned. People who are still holding onto yer Patrias and 25BMs (or the boat if you weird), you can expect demand to fluctuate due to people buying GE for the vehicles. Mostly price of the vehicle to slightly increase as everyone is selling it at a higher price.

The guns on the YP-38 are worse, however it is very fun to explode people with the 37mm. As someone who realy enjoys playing P-38s it was a good purchase, however if you are just looking for a good premium plane get the XP-50 instead.
