Title: How about bringing back Spitfire Vc?
Post by: 1K3 on November 28, 2006, 11:10:33 PM
How about bringing back the old Spitfire V we used to have years ago as the NEW Spitfire LF Mk Vc?

This spit had clipped wings, 240 rounds of cannon instead of 120, and +16 boost instead of +12 on our current Spit Vb.  This version also supported 4x 20mm Hispanos (this 4x armament should perked under the proposed "perk ordinance")

Just to clarify.  While the Vc could carry 4 20mms I've only found one instance where they did operationally and it was purely ground attack, not air to air.

The Malta Vcs that launched with 4  cannon had two removed as soon as they arrived to save weight and improve climb and maneuverability.

A clipped, clapped and cropped Spit Vc would be nice, but with the Spits we have, I think we're doing fine.

Better to wish for a Seafire III :aok

And yeah I'd love a Griffon Spit XII but I can get by without it :)
