It isn't needed.  Clipping the wings wasn't common at all during the time the Spit V was the frontline RAF fighter.

You need a different engine to go with the wings.

That varient of the Spit V was the LF VB, with a Merlin 55M (+18 lbs boost) optimized for fighting under 10k.  Different animal entirely from a 1941 Vb.

...and you would hear the screams from the MA players by just rolling down your window. :lol

Spit LF V (with +18 boost) would be nice to have because it's the spit 16 of mid-war era designed for low alt combat. :aok

Also, the Spit 9 of the mid war era would be the equivalent of spit 14 in lat war era, designed to fite @ hi alts.

The Spit VIII we have is mid war and designed for low altitude combat.

We don't need a clipped LF.Mk V.
