I think the nose of the Griffons is just so sleek it’s perfect.
I am able to use the Mk.14 in dogfights with most things but Yak-3U’s.
You want to climb and hopefully force people low and then use your altitude to boom and zoom people.
Ki-84’s and TA’s I find manageable but if the P-51H’s and F2G’s use their brains and climb you are pretty screwed as you can’t compete at all.
That was a nice lucky pilot snipe and may of been the 50 cal’s.
They shouid give the F mk9 150 octane fuel as with all spits there after
With the yak 3u if i can get them with out interference i just kite them with energy advantage ie rope de dope. But getting 1 alone at altitude is another thing
I concur, SOMETHING has happened to the Spits recently.
For some reasons Yaks have been improving in comparison. I was able to energy trap Yak-3s that tried to reach me from 1500m below me, but suddenly… at the moment they climb like a rocket, so you have to dodge them as they rise past your own altitude, and then they outturn you. And all that above 4000m.
I wish I could enjoy spitfires.
The FM under Full Real controls is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen in this game. I’d be embarrassed if I was the Dev in charge of FM’s.
You do know that full control gives you 30% more on your control surface i believe
The Spits are too floaty. Like there’s no weight to them. One micro deflection on the pitch axis sends it into the stratosphere. There’s no way that Spits were this sensitive in real life.
The Spitfire is the only plane in this game that I need to keep a unique control profile for.
I was pressing cannons only so only the hispanos fired. In the game it blew off his wing, that wasn’t a pilotsnipe. If it was a pilotsnipe his icon would’ve disappeared - it turned grey. He lost a wing. That is hispano damage right now.
I trued to look at your plane but could only see the cannons, anyway you would love the typhoon
Good plane. I don’t go out of my way to fly britain very often so I haven’t touched it since last year. No one expects it to be good, which makes it one of my favorites.
But, we dont talk about how good it is 😉
because it’s the best prop in the game. It has insane top speed, great low to mid altitude performance, the best climb rate, great energy retention, devastating armament and very high no exceed speed with overall solid controls. The best one unironically is not the british spitfire lf mk9, but the American one. Not only it is much faster and climbs more; it also turns inside the lf mk9 and outrates the zeroes.
How is American one any different from the British? It’s a nice premium, but I always thought it’s just a copy-paste of LF Mk IX.
It isn’t, they’re the exact same plane.
The American one has four 7.7 mg’s instead of the two 50 cals the tech tree spitfire of mk9 has
LF Mk IX used to have also 4x 7.7 tho. They just changed it when they added Griffon Spits iirc, but they used to be exact same.
Oh, I thought the techtree also had those at one point :)
So my memory serves me right :)
Yes, i dont remember exact time when it got changed and why tho. Or maybe when they added F. Mk. IX, basically both were LF IXc but then the british one lost c and was given E type wing with 2x .50 cals. Plagis´s premium British IX have still C type wing tho
Okay,found it,the model was changed in patch 1.65 Way of the Samurai. Update 1.65 "Way of the Samurai" - War Thunder Wiki
