      @@Ferret65 Hardly a strong or compelling argument.
      First armament doesn't matter. Case in point the J21s, J22s and 190A8 all being massively over BRed relative to performance and being 100% reliant on the opposing player being trash or distracted to get kills. Then there is the opposite end of the spectrum of under BRed monsters because of "poor" armament that are untouchable in good players hands relative to the average planes of the BR. Armament should have no place in dictating BRs until missiles get involved, especially when everything explosive based in props has the ability to one tap and US .50s can shred with only a handful of hits. When most everything currently slaps in props armament doesn't mean jack all.
      Second in terms of performance differences between the Typhoon and Spit Vc non trop the Typhoon is around 40mph faster 4km and below and it only gets faster above 4km as the Vc runs out of engine power above 4km. The Typhoon also has one of the best turn rates of everything in it's BR bracket once you ignore Japanese fighters. Sure, the Vc still turns notably better but you are comparing two of the best. What the Vc has meaningfully that the Typhoon lacks is climb rate and roll rate. The Vc has about a 5m/s climb rate advantage and more than double the best roll rate speed of the Typhoon. The Vc non trop currently sits at 5.0 while the Typhoon sits at 4.3. The Vc isn't that much better than the Typhoon to warrant that kind of BR bump. The Vc trop loses about 10mph more in speed to the Typhoon while taking an almost imperceptibly small hit in climb relative to the Vc non top.
      Compared to the Vb non trop (4.0) the Vc trop (4.7) has a noticeable, but not significant, gain in climb with minor gains in sustained turn and MER. That is it. Not worth the .7 BR bump in my opinion. In my opinion the Vc Trop is a 4.3 plane (hence my comment) and the Vc non trop is a 4.7 plane.

    I detest the mkV... I'm biased by the history, but the fact it's replacment is at 4.3 (MKIX), while it's stuck at 4.7-5.0 just says how gaijin "Balances". The mkIX is a far superior aircraft and only lacks the killer bite, but in a skilled pilot's hands, thats not a problem!

    • @rainsilent
      @rainsilent Місяць тому +1

      The IX isn't far superior. The MK.IX was a side grade to the Vb. The issue is that the V was not competitive against the 190s at higher alts. The IX changed that by stretching the supercharger gears. The Vc is a later war variant of the V that actually was superior to the early IX.

      @@rainsilent _"I do not think that means what you think it means, senor..."_ The IX has a *1720hp* engine (compared to the V's *1440-1470hp* ). The IX can maintain this HP lead at altitudes over 20K feet, thanks to the 2-stage/2-speed superchargers on the Merlin 63/66s. IX's climb in the mid-ranges (10K-20K) is 4000 ft/m; below that, the V edges it out. Speed at the mid/high ranges is 409mph vs 365mph. The _only_ place where the V *C* is superior is gunpower (and only if you take all-cannons, which throws your wing-loading badly out of whack--2x cannon & 4x LMGs vs 4x cannon with *150%* ammo loads[!]).
      Hardly a "sidegrade," sir.

      Per both historical data and in game data from WTRTI the Vb is faster and climbs better at all alts 4km and below. For imperial number users that is 13,1232ft and below. The Vb just barely outperforms the F.IX at everything 4km and below both historically and in game. The Vc outperforms the F.IX by a larger margin.
      Also per historical data and WTRTI in game no Spitfire sub 5.7 is capable of a climb rate of 4,000ft/min above 3km. Climb rate is not a static figure from the ground to any given altitude. For nearly every prop in game climb rate tops out at around 500m at the highest and slowly declines from there as the prop has to deal with less dense altitude with which to generate thrust with. The only exception to this in game is a few French engines that are overcompressed. An overcompressed engine was a WW1 era workaround to get around the fact that they couldn't make a supercharger that was anything more than single stage and single speed. So they set the compressor of the supercharger to give max performance at say 3km but this meant that the supercharger was capable of providing more boost than the engine could handle at low alts.
      The IX doesn't even touch 400mph historically until it gets very close to 6km/19,685ft. This is replicated in game. At around 4km, where the Vs are topping out, the Vs are still marginally faster than the IX. Don't believe me and think that the IX can go 400+mph at 4km? The P-51C is breaking the 400mph level flight top speed barrier between 3 and 4km. The IX has absolutely no hope of keeping up with the 51C. The Ki-44-II is topping out around 370mph and all Spits struggle to keep up with it.
      In terms of in game the IX is a side grade at best given that most combat takes place 4km and below. Historically the IX was an upgrade because the British wanted to fight at altitude. Where the extra power from the elongated supercharger gearing made a very big difference.

    In regards to you liking the IXs more than the Vcs: the Mk. IXc is worse than the Vcs in performance overall. While it might list a higher top speed that is only because the supercharger gearing was stretched to allow for better performance at higher alt. The mk.IXc is around 500kgs heavier than a Vc. The Mk.IXs at 4.3 and 4.7 are performance equivalents to the Vbs that sit at 3.7 and 4.0. Slightly worse performance below ~4.5km than the Vb non trop in every metric, including speed, but the IXs have better performance 5km+. This is in spite of the more powerful engine of the IX. On the deck the Vb non trop tops out at 326mph. The F.IX at 4.3 tops out at 322mph. The Vb trop tops out at 316mph. The larger radiators and the stretched supercharger gearing of the IXs really makes a big negative difference to the speed of the IXs.
    The Vcs are just straight better than the Mk.IXs below 5km in every meaningful metric. Notably better climb, turn and even speed for the non trop Vc. Get them both maxed out on the deck and you will find the Vc non trop tops out at 334mph. The trop version loses most of that speed advantage, topping out at 327mph, for nothing in game and a trop filter IRL. The Vc is the best overall performing Merlin Spit below the LF.IXs at 5.7. Like the LF.IXs the Vc quickly runs out of engine power above 4.5km.
    Personally I am happy to take any Mk.V over the F.IXs any day. The non trop Mk.Vs have better E-ret, turn, climb and speed at every relevant alt compared to the Mk.IXs. Both Mk.IXs are 4.0 planes at best. The IXc can go 4.3 because cannons if people really want to complain about firepower but there isn't really a reason to. The Vc trop is 4.3, with the standard Vc maybe being 4.7 at worst. The XVI at 5.0 is a 4.3, maybe 4.7 plane itself. It has a worse climb and turn than the F.IXs but it is the fastest Merlin Spit that isn't a LF.IX. It tops out at 342mph on the deck. Slight bump in top speed over the Vc but with notably worse climb and turn.
