Another spitfire needed!!!
« on: September 28, 2008, 12:59:15 PM »
My dad had a whole collection of books on WWII aircraft that he passed on to me. I got to looking through them this morning and found a specific book on spitfire's. I know spitfire is a dweeb plane but I personally like the Spitfire. Anyways we need a spitfire MK 24!! Heres some specs on the 24:

Max speed:454mph at 26,000ft
Time to 20,000ft(6,100m): 8 Minutes
Service cieling: 43,500ft (13,250m)
maximum range: 880mls with 210Imp. gal
Wieght: 9,900lbs
Dimensions:
Span: 36ft 11in
Length: 32ft 11in
Height: 13ft 6in
Wing area: 244sq. ft
Armament: 4  20mm hispano-suiza cannons


I think this would be an awesome addition to AH!! Maybe even perk it like the tempest because of its abililty! Let me know what you guys think! <S>   :rock

I think the idea is to have planes that flew during WWII.  :)

Dont think the Spit 24 was produced until 1946 so doesn't qualify for addition.
Only 54 were produced, they were part of the post war ocupation force and didn't see WW2 service.

hey Brad  I know wiki isn't the best source but it does show all the different variants.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarine_Spitfire_variants_part_two

Spit 21 was the latest wartime Spit.

Give me the Spit XII first.  1943-44 bird.

Spit 21 saw little combat, no air to air and was only with 91 Squadron.

Yeah spit 21 would be a neat airplane to have but it was only used with the 91 squadron and had no air to air kills. spitXII Would be neat to have with the clipped wings and all

To be fair there are 5 F4u and 6 spitfires.   The spitfire IX had been in combat for 6 months before the f4u had seen any, yet the spitfire only has 1 more varient.

Otherwise, Id rather focus on new planes than more variants.
