As for a clipped XIV.  They really didn't show up until postwar.  The wartime XIVs had full span wings as they were interceptor/fighters. It was when the jets took over postwar and the XIV got relegated to the ground attack role, that the clipped XIVs were more prevalent.

You know... there are times when you could conveniently not see certain posts... for the benefit of AH.  This is one of those times.   :devil

Maybe HTC could just create an all Spitfire game for you so you and the rest of the Spitboiz can play in your own sandbox.

Wouldn't be long before the dreaded "boredom" sets in...  :joystick:


as if upping in your fast movers for 1 and 2 hours at a time bnzing from 40k was so much fun.   :rofl

Spitfire F.Mk XVIII and Spitfire F.21, but both saw very little action or service.

The C wing was specific to the Spitfire V which had the A, B and C wings.  The C was also known as the Universal wing and was used on the Spit VII, VIII, IX, XII and XIV.  It was not designated the C wing on them however.  Later the E wing was developed and used on the IX, XVI XIV and did receive the letter designation.

The Spitfire IX we have in AH has the Universal wing already.

As for the Spit XII, I'm all for it as it's my long time history passion.  That being said, there are many other birds that should come first to fill out the plane set before that.

As for a clipped XIV.  They really didn't show up until postwar.  The wartime XIVs had full span wings as they were interceptor/fighters. It was when the jets took over postwar and the XIV got relegated to the ground attack role, that the clipped XIVs were more prevalent.

XVIII didn't make it in WW2.  Spit 21 saw service with 91 Squadron but never encountered aircraft.  Two shot down by flak and they claimed a midget sub off the hook of Holland.

And no we don't need a Spit 21 :)  The XII? of course!

We need A Mk XII, Mk 21 and the unperking of the XIV.  :x

And a Vc and some more Seafires.   :D

And maybe when we add enough aircraft a XVIII could be added.  :x

What was the next spit after the Mk I ?
