A Spitfire Mk. VC airframe with a 1,735hp engine. What's the worse that could happen? :devil

why on earth not?   The spitfire did win the war pretty much single handedly, it deserves every single variant that was ever made!

Why waste time with more GV's and silly hangar queen bombers just give us a Spitfire Armada!   :x

You aren't keeping jup Kazaa.  Bronk and I have been on the XII case for years.  In my case since 1980 :)

While I'd love to have it for the history, you are basically talking about the AH Spit XVI in terms of low alt performance.  It's a 1943 bird of course and much nicer looking then the XVI, but then again I'm biased :)

The highest scoring Spitfire Wing in the Fall of 1943 was the Tangmere Spit XII Wing made up of 41 and 91 Squadrons.  Seen below in October 1943 after their best day when they downed 9 109s and 190s for no loss, October 20, 1943.  Postwar research did prove there was no overclaims that day too.

I hope thats sarcasm.

Hate to burst everyones bubble, but the soviets were responsible for almost 3x as many casualties as the US and England COMBINED.  :bolt:

I know Guppy, I just like trolling the forum is all. :aok

I would rather have our old VC back, clipped this time ofc. (It would be the best dueling ride EVAR!) Oh, also the XVI @ 25lbs boost. :noid

XII is the only major Spit wartime variant that isn't in the game. So  :aok
