That's the one. I'm more than a little surprised how quickly the Spit IX was dumped in favor of the Spit XVI, and how far the once-popular ride has fallen in the charts.
Rank Type Kills Deaths K-% K/D
1 Spitfire XVI 43991 38519 10.85 1.14
7 SeaFire 16085 18221 3.97 0.88
20 Spitfire VIII 7679 8698 1.89 0.88
27 Spitfire IX 4435 5127 1.09 0.87
31 Spitfire V 3306 5895 0.82 0.56
I'm also surprised at the shuffle of the 109s:
Rank Type Kills Deaths K-% K/D
17 Bf 109K-4 8149 5412 2.01 1.51
26 Bf 109G-14 4605 4233 1.14 1.09
35 Bf 109G-2 2212 1885 0.55 1.17
40 Bf 109G-6 1628 1906 0.40 0.85
46 Bf 109F-4 1020 1245 0.25 0.82
I always thought the old G-10 was better off with gondolas than with the 30mm. Right now I'm doing better in the G-14 and I am in the 109K.
I'm also surprised that the F-4 is rated so far below the G-2. I consider the F-4 to be the better dogfighter of those two.
