British aircraft were the best, as are the pilots in War Thunder

You can get as upset as you want at this and I can sense the angry comments coming my way but it’s the truth. You can brag about getting 10 kills per match in a P-51 or 109 but a British pilot would’ve got 12 or we’ll say 11 to be charitable and not upset your egos.

But dannaryan I hear you say “How could you spout such truths?!” and I’d say easily, as I have proof.

If you want proof that British pilots are the best then look no further than the Spitfire LF MK III. The pilots are so good that we even gave them an aircraft that flies in essence like a heavy Mk V and gave it a battle rating of 5.0 (Simulator battles). They’re so good that this very aircraft is forced to fight Yak-3’s, Ki-84’s, 109G-6/10/K4 etc. In fact it even has a higher battle rating than some of those mentioned. Even the Wiki itself states its performance is “subpar” and it’s outperformed by practically everything it faces.

…Much like the Mk Vc at 5.0…

Frankly I still don’t think this is enough for the British bastards. I think we should make the Spitfire Mk 1a overheat even worse and give it an even twitchier flight model and while you’re at it every single Griffon should be 8.0 minimum.

Spiteful is coming. Gotta be 11.3 at least. Even then it might be unfair to the competition so 11.7 ;)

Spitfire MK24 is easily 13.7 material, in fact i reckon it should be the pioneering aircraft of 14.0, it can single handedly cripple teams without a sweat and the chap flying it can just hop out and have a pint with his mates at the airfield bar

No can’t do that.

That high it’ll outturn the jets it faces. That said I did speak to a pilot once who flew the Spiteful and he claimed it was atrocious and was out performed in all ways by the 109E’s he had mock dogfights with, it was slow, cumbersome and could only use 1lb of boost as they only flew with Cessna peacetime settings and this is total fact, eh Gaijin? wink wink.

LF Mk9 should probably be the first 14.0 in game
