as some of you are fully aware off, alot of spits had clipped wings but few ingame have these? which is strange because im pretty sure nearly all the later marks had clipped as default
and like… this changed the spitfires flight characteristics, pictured below is a mkvii
isnt the mk XVI one with clipped wings?
it was the first with clipped not the last, clipped became basically a new default
since 1941 the majority of spitfires were produced with the wing tips, as they were constructed separately tho… people added it because it looked prettier which is why the majority of those still flying have full wings now as they can be attached and detached
the reason for the clipping was to “improve combat characteristics” so like… i just think it be a cool modification or smth
The Belgian Mk XIVe has clipped wings.
UK
Spitfire F MK.XVI = Clipped wings
Prendengast’s Spitfire FR Mk.XIVe = Clipped wings
FR
Spitfire FR Mk.XIVe (belgian) = Clipped wings
Israel
Spitfire FR Mk.IX = Clipped wings
oh intresting, why is it only those ones tho?
I was just about to say this exists, did they remove it from sale? Owned it for years so can’t tell.
yep. hence why i didnt realise there was one in game, 2 in other nations, 1 foldered and one is a premium that you cant obtain anymore. idk why they dont make it a modification all spits can have
Cause that’s a flight model change as well as a different version of that Spitfire.
So I am. ^^
did gaijin say no to modifications that change the flight model? that sucksss cuz like. they wouldnt add another 10 spitfires to britian would they?
The Israel one is labelled as an LF:
I would like to see a few more clipped wing Spitfires … Gotta fix that paucity! :)
Is that the base (i.e. no engine upgrades) figures? Do you know how the engine power mods factor in to comparing against real life figures? (Meaning, should the fully upgraded engine be equivalent of the real world figure, or should it be starting from the real life figures and the game mods add more?)
These are the values with all the engine mods:
gaijin hates britian. accept it
tho i do like the buff they gave the CR3 recently by keeping it at 11.7… it should be lower tho…
there are at 4 Clipped spitfires in game
UK: one TT and one Premium
FR: one belgian in TT
ISR: one TT
Which means it’s an LF Mk9 as that’s its capabilities.
Thanks for arguing my point for me.
Your post contradicted your previous post.
“Obviously the label Mk.IXe CW includes the [L]F prefix despite it not being there.”
“Not including the [L]F prefix is misleading.”
Neither of those quotes are of you, by the by. Stick to a position.
Either way both of those positions are wrong, just the 1st one is less wrong as that’s an opinion on a fact rather than the latter being a false claim of malice.
@LeonDasPro
No one’s quoting you nor misrepresenting you.
Please stop misrepresenting other peoples’ posts with false claims.
If the quotes aren’t you, which they aren’t as I said they aren’t, then they aren’t representing you to begin with thus cannot misrepresent you.
