Or the books on 2 TAF by Shores & Thomas, or the Fighter Command War Diaries, or even one of umpteen websites which list where the RAF squadrons were located.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Not many.  A squadron I think.  Only action was sinking a German mini-sub and one Spit 21 lost to AA fire.

Spitfire 21 wouldn't use existing geometry in the game though.  P-47M uses the exact same geometry as the P-47D-40. I think the P-47M saw significantly more action than the Spitfire 21 as well.

We really need the Spit 21 for the last-day of WWII arena. Also, it would fill the roster gap in many made-up scenarios.

A must have.

I vote no more Spitfires period. Too many EZ mode fighters running around anyway, let's not reward the skilless with more options.

Seafire Mk III is the most needed Spitfire version that we lack by far.  Spitfire Mk II is only needed if the Bf109E-7 is added.  Spitfire Mk XII would be neat to have, but is pretty low priority.  Spitfire F.21 is about as close to the bottom of the list of units to add as you can get while not falling off of it.

I agree that the Seafire Mk.III would be a nice addition. However, our early Spit V is pathetic in the late war arena. I'd like to a see the clipped wing Spitfire LF Mk.VC with the Merlin 50 added. Capable of 350 mph at 6,000 feet, this Mk.V would be far more viable against late war fighters.

Or you could just fly the Mk IX... I mean, we do have other models for a reason.
