For pure sake of Sim Sanity. I think Lend-Lease should be highly mitigated. Maybe if they come up with a better solution for how Sim MM works it would be fine. But Spitfire vs Spitfire just sounds like a mess

I want to point out that the Spitfire Mk Vb (NOT the Mk Vb/trop) is 4.0 in both AAB and ARB. This Spitfire will go to 4.0 if it’s added.
+1, this could compliment the USSRs 4.0 lineup nicely and give it a good fighter to go with it.

very rare instance of a spitfire not being a powerful addition to a tree, pretty much any other tree and its a big boost. USSR trees just so busted it wouldn’t matter to anyone but those that want the British tree to have less unique stuff
yak9k is that br it doesnt do anything the USSR doesn’t have
Im so used to using the trop for the British 3.7 lineup I think its the normal one sometimes. either way its futile adding it when the 9k exists
it would give it a good dogfighter and imo the Yak-9K is more of a ground attack aircraft, I find Hispanos easier to use than the 45mm against aircraft.
there isn’t really a reason (beyond “C&P”) not to add it, especially since its not a one off vehicle and was used in frontline combat by the russians

I don’t think it’s fair to compare the Soviet Spitfire Mk Vb with the Yak-9T or Yak-9K, since they were designed for entirely different roles and purposes.
Besides, the USSR lacks solid 4.0 options for Air Arcade Battles, and this could be one potential solution.
If the soviet air branch was in the same status as our early jets.

I might have no reason to be confusing myself about this suggestion.

Lend-Lease vehicles are good to see for me.

They really used them IRL like Hampden.

What if the Soviets had nothing useful in their domestic props, then why not?
I think it is quite tragic that soviet TT is so solid that I can’t support this idea even though I want to see our effort to the Soviets.
Their domestic planes are just doing so good with various options.

I185 and LA5 is already in the game and is a good fighter
Lend lease is best as a way to plug gaps in a tech tree, the USSR air tree doesnt have this problem at all.
its not like with ground where the tree would truly benefit from a british mk2 and valentyn
If the soviet tree didnt have such a diverse amount of aircraft with such favourable flight models and BR placements id fully back it, however that isnt the situation the tree is in

I saw your post for the U.S. Spitfire Mk.5b as well, there’s apparently a trop variant as well, those would be great to see.

I’ve suggested the Mk Vc/trop for the US, along with the Mk VIII as well.

Dammit, I really want to see our beautiful spitfire in soviet tt too. Because sharing things is good, And it will be a perfect event/battle pass reward.
But I just can’t find where we need to place her.
Soviet TT are just way too solid and I can’t find a gap for her.

It’d probably fall as a premium or event/battlepass.
Theres always a place to squeeze it in the research tree though.
will have to play the brit tree for that brit vehicle still im afraid
There’s nothing wrong with adding more content like this, even if the gap is already filled.
Some people get really dogmatic about what should or shouldn’t be added, which seems silly to me. After all, we’re not the ones making the decisions about what gets developed and added in the game.
This could be a low-priority addition that might eventually arrive in the future if War Thunder starts running out of content ideas.

This should be .303 Browning Mk.II
