Is having one more spit going to make any difference, we have seven versions already.  If we do end up getting it, some dweeb will cry for another type of spit to be brought on. 

NO on spit XII!

you could say the same for the P-47M which was added, or requests for the FG-1 and 1A or any other aircraft really.

Off the top of my head I can think of at least 15 different WWII spit variants which fulfill the criteria for inclusion in AH, and which are all noticeably different from each other. and that doesnt even include the XVI :D

Just curious, how would a Spit VII stack up performance wise compared to the

1. Spit IX
2. Spit VIII
3. Spit XVI

?

Yes please.

There is always a need for more spitfires.

If we get it we should unperk the spit XIV too.

And there are over 150 variants of 190s,  we only have four.  Five if you want to add TH-152 as a 190.

A Spitfire VII, really a high-alt pressurized Spitfire VIII would have handling qualities most similar to the VIII. Many Mk.VII's had long 40' wings and would roll far worse though. Some VII's had standard 36' 10" wings. Of course since its Merlin 70 is optimized for high-alt work, it would really only dominate those aircraft in high-alt combat from a speed standpoint.

 I think the MkXII would make a great addition,if only to put a stop to all the perk the spiteen. :devil

 If the XII could be added like the 47M was I see no reason to not include it although I could name atleast a dozen planes we really need,I'm all for any new toys!

Well you can play that numbers game with Spits too as there were numerous variants of the Spit IX for example.  We only have one, and it's not the most numerous variant of the IX.  By the time you throw in different combos of engines, wingtips, armament, rudders, elevators etc it's a long list :)

All of them.  The Spit XVIII didn't see it in WW2 but did after the war.  It was basically a strengthened XIV.  Kinda like the XVI to the IX
