It has been far too long since some more Spitfires were added. We need more, and a XII would fit the bill nicely

And while we are at it, give me a Mk V with "A" wing and 8 x .303 - I'm getting slowly used to that guns

I would like a .303 only wing for the hurr2c! 8 or 12, it allows for more skin options.

Re: Spitfire XII attacking Mosquito FB.VI with Merlin 25s and ejector stacks.

4. When cruising fairly fast (2300 r.p.m. +4 boost) near the ground, the Mosquito was "jumped" by a Spitfire XII (Griffon IV) which is the fastest mark of Spitfire at low altitude in use at present. It was found that provided a good watch was kept, it was possible to pull away from it before it could close to range to shoot effectively. This of course depended heavily upon the hieght from which the Spitfire was attacking and the range at which it was first observed, but at the Mosquito's fast cruising speed the Spitfire usually had difficulty in positioning itself to attack and was seen in time. Even if not seen till 800 yards and about 1,000ft above, it was possible to accelerate and pull away if the Mosquito was opened up to full power (3,000 r.p.m. +18 lb. boost) immediately. The indicated airspeeds were 250 m.p.h. for cruising and 340 m.p.h. at full power.

There can never be enough variants of any AC, until all ac are covered.

More Yaks, and revamp the only TWO models we have.

Ghosth · « **Reply #13 on:** September 01, 2007, 08:48:38 AM »

Need more Mossie varients first IMO.

Reading a book about Night fighters, they even had one very very high alt variant.
