No? Mk9 LF is extremely fast and accelerates extremely well for being the classification of aircraft that it is. It’s a turnfighter that has above average accel/speed. It also has absurdly strong climb rates. It’s very easy to control an engagement with an iron fist and force people to engage with you where they obviously lose.
Literally a decade of statistics and educated users say otherwise. Yet you think the Spitfire Mk24 should face the F-86A-5 in uptiers as well as the MiG-15Bis ISH
its just a fat spitfire with a big engine its not even in the top 5 most powerful spitfires for its respective BR. Its 14th going off of K/D of march 2026 on statshark.
Its just a decent plane at its BR played by average skill players.
no. British bombs are pretty unreliable (also half the size vs mustang) and i find the M8 rockets really easy to aim making the worse yields less important
the .50 cal API-T is a god tier round and you get a belt only of them. they are faster and you throw more out per second, usually only needing a couple to burn a plane out.
hitsparkos have moments where they do nothing, but after years of using them i am decent at sniping with them, find the ground belts to be the most reliable against planes personally
I personally find the RP-3s easier, same with the Hispanos I find the stealth belts are so easy to aim than the .50s and they do more damage in my experience. Depends on playstyle I guess
