![]() The Spitfire should climb at the beginning of battle in order to utilise its very good climb rate. 8 x 7.7 mm Browning machine guns, wing-mounted (350 rpg = 2,800 total).The Spitfire has a relatively good ammo count- the 4-digit ammo can be deceiving, since there are 8 guns on the aircraft, making only around 400 rpg- these can be used to ground attack light or unarmoured targets, usually with stealth or omni-purpose belts, but this job should be left to dedicated gun-platforms, like the Hurricane and Hellcat General info Flight performance A sensible opponent will try to energy fight the Spitfire- to avoid destruction, climb quickly away from them, then dart back into their trajectory arc, normally underneath them the Spitfire can do that, since it has good lift rate- eventually, either the opponent will miss and overshoot, allowing the Spitfire to destroy them, or will dive, which the Spitfire can follow, but be careful- the Spitfire will wing rip at around 500 km/h or less, so don't pull too hard or the wings will fly away. Do not head-on in the Spitfire: it can destroy the engine and the gun convergence won't help at all, avoid head-ons and go for turn fights. The Spitfire is fast, with a top speed around 600 km/h, although in a straight line, it normally reaches around 460 km/h. This same logic can be applied to War Thunder Realistic Battles- the Spitfire should first climb, using its excellent climb rate, then intercept high patrolling fighters, if possible, bringing them lower. It was introduced in Update 1.35.įor those who don't historically know much about the Spitfire, in 1940 in the Battle of Britain, the Spitfire flew to intercept enemy fighters because of its speed and agility- the Hurricanes were sent to destroy Heinkel Bombers. With a battle rating of 2.7 (AB) and 3.0 (RB/SB). The Mk 22 is pretty awful for 6.3 and the Mk XVI is catasrophically bad at 5.0.The Spitfire Mk IIa is a rank II British fighter 120rpg for 2 sparkle cannons doesn't get you very far, especially with bombers like Me 264 being around the place now. Quad hispano armaments, despite being pretty unreliable, are better than the mixed armaments a lot of spitfires get. You just have to put up with it i'm afraid if you want to play tier 3 and tier 4 props in Britain. But since about after a month after that the SAPI round has been busted ever since and just deflects off a target when it hits (hence the sparks you see). There was a brief time of bliss when air target ammo was first added back in like 2014. "Hisparkles" are the same as they've always been for years. It can get to 6000m very quickly but once it is there, it will be out performed by most things it faces, 190Ds and 109Ks especially. The LF MK.IX is probably the best example. Mainly due to being "spacefires" as they have great time to altitude, which got axis and soviet pilot's goats as the Spitfire also happens to turn fairly well. ĭo you see the winning rate of Spitfire F MkIX & MkXVI ? Is this what you called "balance" ?Ī YouTuber Adam514 made a video for Spitfire Mk22 weeks ago and the "Hitpano" sucks unless killing the pilots.Īll the spitfires got uptiered around the time all the 109s, 190s, 152s, etc got downtiered to around 5.3-5.7 (Despite some like the D-13 being more than capable enough to compete at BR's 6.0). ![]() The MG151/20 can kill my Spitfire Mk22 within 5 rounds most times while I can do that in my dream. To be frank, the spark is beautiful but we players feel upset and annoying. ![]() What about nowadays ? Just hit, hit, hit and hit. Before 1.71 we can kill a fighter within 30 rounds and about 60 for a bomber like B29. We call them "Hitpano" for their "amazing" performance. No matter Merlins or Griffons are great engines but they don't perform decent for "balance". Repair cost is not a way to make a balance.) Someone says that Spitfires have high repair cost while nobody cares about that because we have Spitfires and they are reliable and powerful ! (PS: G56&Ta152 have higher repair cost but they are not abandoned. ![]() ![]() Spitfires are so popular in WT for years but they has been destroyed again and again. ![]()
