damn how do i add it?

Guessing this is your image.  Not 43, but later in the Italian campaign
I can't imagine anyone is going to want the performance trade off given 4 20mm cannon and the big Vokes Filter under the nose.  It would be a "dog" in a turning fight.

And again, while I love Spits, we don't need a 4 cannon bird

lol another Spitfire with a higher mark (12).

- How does the mark 12 compare to other spitfires, bf 109, and Fw 190?
- When was this introduced?
- Was it historically significant?

Go back and read what I wrote

equal to or better then both the 109 and 190 when it was introduced in early 43 and yes it was historically significant having put an end to the hit and run raids on England's south coast with a 5-0 pounding of the 190s on May 25, 1943 and being the two Spit XII squadrons were the high scoring RAF Wing in the Fall of 43.

Do I think we need it in AH?  Nope.  The XVI has comparable performance down low where the XII shined.

Would it be fun just because I love the XII?  Yep.

Would it be first on my list for the next plane added to AH?  Nope.

Wasn't it also the first squadron strength griff powered spit. That's fairly significant don't ya think?
