XVI never had an air to air kill :noid :bolt:

I'm pretty sure it did.

Don't know for a fact but that sounds about right.

I've checked lol, Im not a fan of spits unless it's a XI

You guys should stop using someone like THRASH99 as a source on Spitfire Mk XVI's, the XVI did score many air to air kills during the war.

Not a very good portrayal of it, but yes that's it.  The old AH Spit did not have it.

These are the 2 Squadron SAAF 4 cannon Vc.  You can see the large filter.  It makes the P40 look sleek :)

That right there is the key.  Everyone wants an internet link.  There are these things called books.  They've been around a long time, and many of them are quite detailed.

Can't show you a link.  I can type up the information from the books that contain it when I get home.  Spitfire-The Canadians" being one source for this.  At work until late tonight.  But if you really want to argue this and lose the argument, I can post the info when I get home.

You do realize the XVI was in combat for a while don't you?

Just so you know, one of the skins for the Spit XVI is for TB752 KH-Z of 403 Squadron.  It had 4 kills to it's credit, a 109, 190, 111 and FW189.  It still survives in a Museum at Manston England.

"Outside of maybe adding the Seafire LFIII"

Thanks for the quote Guppy! I've been wishing for this true carrier variant for a long time. We need this baby for the late war FSOs
