My favorite is probably the FR XIVe: while it does kinda stupidly have 90hp less than the LF IX (when it should be running 21lbs with a hundred or so more horses), the Five bladed propellor really helps wring out some extra thrust, and as such, the faster “bleed” during hard turns is mostly nullified thanks to the excellent acceleration

[@theScottishKoala]

No mention of the wing type, which was ACTUALLY the deciding factor in armament, not mark. I've seen several Mk.Vc's with the 2 x 20mm configuration, as well as other marks with the 4 cannon wings. It's the wing type that defined armament, meaning that the Mk.IX's in War Thunder could actually get the ability to swap out its main armament for 4 x 20mm's, or the Mk.Vc and Mk.IXc could go the other way, similarly to the way the late 109's or Yaks can change their primary cannon

The hurri is verry manouverable at 250-350km/h just wait untill someone dumb enough to try to beat you in turn because once you dive at someone, there's no escape to that person, if it decided to break you could still follow it and if it decided to outrun you, too bad you're faster. Oh also if you found yourself being the one gettin dived on, don't worry planes at that br don't really have what it takes to shoot down the hurri thicc airframe in one click so you could still turn and hope that he turns with you aswell, I got an average kill of 3-4 a match in the Hurricane MK 1.

Good video, but there are some quite major errors. Firstly, there's no mention of the spitfire's manoeuvrability and its source(the eliptical wing) but that could go without saying; however, one quite important thing is that after each upgrade the spitfire becomes less manoeuvrable(except with the lf mk ix), which was not mentioned. The Spitfire F Mk XVI was mentioned before the F Mk IX even though the F Mk IX came first historically and in the tech tree. Irrelevant to the video, but it's also a shame that tier 4 spitfires have ridiculous repair costs, higher than all top tier jets, even though they usually get destroyed in their small numbers by Bf 109 swarms while the rest of the Allied team bombs bases or ground pounds to no avail.

Just a few points, 1 the first hispano armed Spitfires were MkIb put into operational trials during the Battle of Britain with 19 Sqd RAF. After the Hispanos constantly jammed, due to problems with convertion of the French Metric to British Imperial dementions. 2, the Mark XVI (16) introduced as the last of the Merlin Spitfires in 1945, and was essentially a MkIX with Packard Merlin rather than Rolls Royce produced. Often had (but not universal) cut down rear fuselage and clipped "e" wings. The clipped wing was i itally introduced 1941 in the LF MkVb/c. This was to temporarily respond to the inital introduction of the FockWulf Fw 190 A2. 3/ the Mark IX was it self a converted MkV to up engine from the 40 series Merlins in the MkV to 60 Series. This was responding to the Fw 190 wich sidelined the Mk VII and VIII. 4/ the Mk VII/VIII was a clean up of the designed arround the Merlin 60 series. 1350 built and mainly in the Mediterranean anf Far East. Used as the basis of the most of the Griffen Engined Spitfires* 5/ wing configuration:- "a" wing 0.303 Browning Guns x4 PER WING "b" 1 x 20 mm Hispano and 2 mgs "c" universal wing could be fitted with 4x mg/ 1x 20mm and 2x mgs/2× 20 mm "e" late war universal wing could be fitted with 2x 20 mm or 20mm and .50 Cal HMG. *6/ as above the Griffen engined Spitfires were based on the MkVII/VIII airframe except half of the first Griffen Spitfire acceped into fighter Sqd, The MkXII. The initall production used Mk V airframes and can be identifed by the fixed tailwheel.

[@douglaspealing5608]

A long time ago, as in getting on for 4 years ago now, I was squadded up in my squadron at the time. I didn't have jets, but we were supposed to be in jets for this RB battle. I jumped in my Vc Trop for it (standard Vc wasn't in the game yet) and spent most of the match flying around trying to find something to shoot at. I realised we were losing, so I hit tab, to find I was the only surviving aircraft on our team, against I think it was an F86. The guy boomed and zoomed hard on his first pass, and I had an exceptionally red airframe, but I hauled the old girl around to his heading, only to find him wayyyy above me. I flew level while he dove on me, waiting. At the last possible moment, at already low airspeed, I pulled the nose up to face the oncoming jet, essentially putting the Spit into a stall to get the sights on him. He shot my engine out completely as I opened fire and tore his wing off. I then glided for long enough for the ticket counter to drop, and we won - somehow. It was absolutely hilarious.

My experience playing Spitfires: You wanna climb? No problem You wanna dogfight? Go ahead You wanna be faster? Bad news... You wanna fight Head-ons? Don't You wanna energy-fight? Try the 109 You wanna take only 12 minutes of fuel? 20 minutes always Remember: you're frangile and sensitive as a kitten so Be kind to the controls, and once your 20mm cannons are out you'll return to the airfield and rearm unless you have enough 7.7 ammo to attack your last enemy, and when i say "enough" i mean 800+ bullets If you Treat her like a lady She will always bring you back home

definitely the mk9 in game. in real life the MK1 or 2 have seen one of them flying with the BBMF and siting on the ground an absolutely beautiful aircraft. maybe it will inspire me to get my pilot license

as a main german player, I would say that a dead spitfire it's my favorite

[@elonsmuskyodour1923]

Spitfire MK IX in my opinion is the best. *A TIP FOR ALL PILOTS WHEN FLYING THIS AIRCRAFT:* Start to side climb at 15 degrees full WEP to about 6000m. Then dive on anything below you but choose your targets wisely

I think that tge problem might be that the Spit is over sensitive for non force feedback sticks. Can anyone confirm this?

This makes me angry how beautiful it looks, I keep dying with the spitfire.

[@paulsilva3346]

I know it's not a hurricane. But you seem to have missed the transition from two bladed to three bladed to four bladed propellers.

[@Ghostrider-lm9en]

My favourite spitfire has got to be the F Mk IX because it gets plenty of cannon ammo, it has a delayed float carburetor, its got the manoeuvrability of a spitfire, and it gets a very nice unlockable skin that has invasion stripes.

[@ScottTheBot07]

Wish they added Ian Smith’s spitfire. That’d be dope. I think he got shot down either attacking a convoy or a train. He went on to become Rhodesia’s prime minister after returning home after evading capture in Italy and journeying across the alps to get to the French front.

[@danielmobley1]

Massive Kudos to the narrator for getting every mark in this video correct. Tally Ho

What's with the unexpected metal when the topic turned to the mk.IX????????

[@mecengineer]

LF MK IX has been my favourite variant of spitfire. İt's a dead machine which has high climb and turn rate.

[@carlitosskater89]

My favourite spitfire is the burnt down spitfire. AND the crashed-into-the-ground spitfire too!

[@JohnyG29]

2:54 The Mark V didn't have an issue with its float carb, they had fixed the issue by then. You should change that in your computer game.

[@arissocratous1768]

Whenever I think of spitfires, my brain goes to that green and brown camo. So memorable

[@douglaspealing5608]

I love the early Spits. They're so realistically british... They even overheat like a british engine should! Not even pushing it and BOOM, best drop to 70% for a while, let that magic carby Merlin chill for a hot second

[@itsme_arthur7563]

My fave would be the Spitfire Mk. XIV (i mean, all the variations of Mk. XIV's) Because it has nice Griffon engine, excellent firepower, and a GREAT manueberability that can outurn most of the planes that they had. Also because i had the Corgi Spit Mk.XIV as well lmao

[@burgermuncher8985]

Can we talk about how he said "dangerous like that at 2:01

[@scl9671]

The Mk IX has to be the best combination of speed, maneuverability and firepower not to mention I have flown in one :)

[@austinsavage4390]

That’s my favourite too

[@CaptRye]

I love my MK XXII in game. it simply turns better than any other plane i fly with any nation.

[@zeonicace940]

"Short bursts" With Hisparknos? hell no. Maybe so in a unlikely, nearly impossible universe where they decide to fix british 20mm and make them act like actual cannons instead of harmless firework throwers.
