Now, I thought there WAS no "IXc", that all were improved B wings, and that the "c" was the 2x20mm wing. Shouldn't it just be "IX" and not "IXc"?

It's interesting to see the new spit is going to get the new "wide angle lens" for the cockpit. The newer planes seem to have this in spades (the ki84's was reduced significantly due to pilot complaints, and the p47 seems to have it to a lesser extend, but even so...).

I believe that is exactly what the front page says. IX, not IXc.

EDIT: Ahhh, correction: It's Superfly's post in the forums that said IXc lol my bad

And, anyway, the "c" wing was known as the "universal" wing, because it could house a wide variety of armament, basically anything from the 8 .303 to 4 20mm, with "exotic" mix like 4 Hispano and 4 Browning or 2 Hispano and 6 Browning.

superfly posted 9c in the news forum

oh and to myself "See Rule #2" for hijacking this thread:lol

Superfly · « **Reply #10 on:** October 13, 2005, 02:55:31 PM »

yeah I put 'c', my bad.

oh a 4x20mm spit would be nifty.

Gianlupo · « **Reply #12 on:** October 13, 2005, 03:03:20 PM »

Lol, no please, I can't imagine what Furball could do to my little, frail person with a Spit and 4 hizookas....

(well.... actually with any plane and any weapon

)

Would be quite correctly available on the Mk V only.
Maybe an option now the Spit V is being reduced from 16 to 12lbs boost?

Meh, like the RAF found out so many years ago, in AH 2xHispanos are quite lethal enough

That's my thought on the matter.
