Karnak, I know more about 190s, 109s,-well mostly all German made WW2 aircraft-, American planes, Macchi series, and Japanese planes...

but what you are asking for is for the current in game Spitfire MkIX to be revised to be a Spitfire F. Mk.IX?

Then to have a Spitfire VII or XIV to be added?

If I'm wrong, correct me.

But would this keep you from promoting for the Mosquito for a few months?

I'd love to see a sim accurately model an Spit LF IX! It certainly easily meets any criteria for inclusion that I can think of. I think my Spitfire of choice though would have to be a HF VIII

I prefer to be on top

To make the "Spitfire MkIX" in AH into a more correct 1942 model Spitfire F.IX

1. Remodel 3d shape - move cannon to inboard mountings, shorten air intake under nose.

2. Replace German 300l droptank with 30 and/or 90 gallon "slipper" droptank.

3. Remove "E wing"(2x20mm+2x.50in) and 3.5" rockets from armament options.

4. Fix minor FM issues.

Then add a RAAF HF.VIII with 4x20mm! Muahahaha!!!

I dont think a Spit VIII ever rolled with 4 cannons. Or a Spit IX for that matter. They did have the capability but has anyone ever seen a shred to prove it was done?

SWulfe,

I am just asking for the Spitfire MkIX we have, which has the FM of a Spitfire F.MkIX, to have the gun and ordinance options corrected.

I am not requesting any additional Spitfires from any year.
