Spits shot down Zeros on many occasions in WW2.

the british fought the japanese vigorously in the pacific

where?

before or after the US entered?

Seafire/Spitfire was used in Southeast Asia, starting in 1943. The British had close ties with Australia, though you can ask the Ausies exactly what that entailed. New Zealand likely had some British help. And though no Spitfires were present, the British were in presence in China during the invasion by Japanese forces.

The British Empire was out there long before the US had a global interest.

IIRC the last kill or dogfight of WW2 was between a Spit/Seafire and Zero.

The RAF used F4Us in Europe as well.

G10potato> The problem of Spits Vs Zero's was one of the things that always detracted from the immersion of Warbirds WW2A, it was a great concept and a brave move by iEN to break the mould of the traditional MA type arena setup but it had its flaws and that was one of them, perhaps if we had a HA arena we could have a shortened TOD and perhaps have two weeks on a BoB or European terrain (if one of the talented map guys will put one forward) and then another two weeks on a pacific type map, perhaps use the NDisles map as a Solomon Islands terrain and add a few more carriers?
