My favorite is probably the FR XIVe: while it does kinda stupidly have 90hp less than the LF IX (when it should be running 21lbs with a hundred or so more horses), the Five bladed propellor really helps wring out some extra thrust, and as such, the faster “bleed” during hard turns is mostly nullified thanks to the excellent acceleration
Good video, but there are some quite major errors. Firstly, there's no mention of the spitfire's manoeuvrability and its source(the eliptical wing) but that could go without saying; however, one quite important thing is that after each upgrade the spitfire becomes less manoeuvrable(except with the lf mk ix), which was not mentioned. The Spitfire F Mk XVI was mentioned before the F Mk IX even though the F Mk IX came first historically and in the tech tree. Irrelevant to the video, but it's also a shame that tier 4 spitfires have ridiculous repair costs, higher than all top tier jets, even though they usually get destroyed in their small numbers by Bf 109 swarms while the rest of the Allied team bombs bases or ground pounds to no avail.
Just a few points, 1 the first hispano armed Spitfires were MkIb put into operational trials during the Battle of Britain with 19 Sqd RAF. After the Hispanos constantly jammed, due to problems with convertion of the French Metric to British Imperial dementions. 2, the Mark XVI (16) introduced as the last of the Merlin Spitfires in 1945, and was essentially a MkIX with Packard Merlin rather than Rolls Royce produced. Often had (but not universal) cut down rear fuselage and clipped "e" wings. The clipped wing was i itally introduced 1941 in the LF MkVb/c. This was to temporarily respond to the inital introduction of the FockWulf Fw 190 A2. 3/ the Mark IX was it self a converted MkV to up engine from the 40 series Merlins in the MkV to 60 Series. This was responding to the Fw 190 wich sidelined the Mk VII and VIII. 4/ the Mk VII/VIII was a clean up of the designed arround the Merlin 60 series. 1350 built and mainly in the Mediterranean anf Far East. Used as the basis of the most of the Griffen Engined Spitfires* 5/ wing configuration:- "a" wing 0.303 Browning Guns x4 PER WING "b" 1 x 20 mm Hispano and 2 mgs "c" universal wing could be fitted with 4x mg/ 1x 20mm and 2x mgs/2× 20 mm "e" late war universal wing could be fitted with 2x 20 mm or 20mm and .50 Cal HMG. *6/ as above the Griffen engined Spitfires were based on the MkVII/VIII airframe except half of the first Griffen Spitfire acceped into fighter Sqd, The MkXII. The initall production used Mk V airframes and can be identifed by the fixed tailwheel.
my favorite spitfire is the Spitfire LF Mk IX, it outclasses early and mid griffon spits (and maybe late ones) in therms of manoeuvrability and climb rate and outclimbs the OP axis planes (germans and italians)
In my experience the Spitfire MK 1 is the best spitfire for arcade battles, I still take into jet battles and it shoots down an average of 1 jet every 2 battles.
A long time ago, as in getting on for 4 years ago now, I was squadded up in my squadron at the time. I didn't have jets, but we were supposed to be in jets for this RB battle. I jumped in my Vc Trop for it (standard Vc wasn't in the game yet) and spent most of the match flying around trying to find something to shoot at. I realised we were losing, so I hit tab, to find I was the only surviving aircraft on our team, against I think it was an F86. The guy boomed and zoomed hard on his first pass, and I had an exceptionally red airframe, but I hauled the old girl around to his heading, only to find him wayyyy above me. I flew level while he dove on me, waiting. At the last possible moment, at already low airspeed, I pulled the nose up to face the oncoming jet, essentially putting the Spit into a stall to get the sights on him. He shot my engine out completely as I opened fire and tore his wing off. I then glided for long enough for the ticket counter to drop, and we won - somehow. It was absolutely hilarious.
my great grandfather, who i sadly never met, helped design the mk i spitfire, he solved problems they were having with the exhaust, however, as he did this under license by supermarine, his name never got put on anything
1. Why is the Spitfire mk.24 at 6.7 in RB, he is the only pro aircraft who get that br. without air spawn ? 2. Why does the mk.24 carry Hispano mk.2 canons while the Seafire mk47 carry mk.5 canons ? Furthermore, historically the mk.24 has mk.5 canons. Thanks for your answers.
My experience playing Spitfires: You wanna climb? No problem You wanna dogfight? Go ahead You wanna be faster? Bad news... You wanna fight Head-ons? Don't You wanna energy-fight? Try the 109 You wanna take only 12 minutes of fuel? 20 minutes always Remember: you're frangile and sensitive as a kitten so Be kind to the controls, and once your 20mm cannons are out you'll return to the airfield and rearm unless you have enough 7.7 ammo to attack your last enemy, and when i say "enough" i mean 800+ bullets If you Treat her like a lady She will always bring you back home
Wish they added Ian Smith’s spitfire. That’d be dope. I think he got shot down either attacking a convoy or a train. He went on to become Rhodesia’s prime minister after returning home after evading capture in Italy and journeying across the alps to get to the French front.

It would sound like this The bf109 siries is one of the best climbing props so you can circle around enemy spawn at 6000m and boom n zoom everyone + it requires no skill thats here for today
@@zhurs-mom oh boy how wrong are you. The 109s require quite good understanding of energy fighting, and knowledge of enemy planes. You have to have some skill cause otherwise you will get killed by everything. Unless you mean in AB. In that case i fully agree with you, but not like there is any skill involved anyways in anything
@@zhurs-mom depends what you determine skill is. Is skill to you hitting a barrel roll head-on with the 20mm potatoe cannon? Or is skill using a plane to it's strengths and not just turn fighting.
@@samuellatta6774 The Bf 109s aren't overpowered rather that they have better team composition and are closer packed than allied planes which are less densely packed cause they have to side climb. (Not to mention the allied fighters filled with bombs and rockets flying at sea level going for light pillpoxes )
Miss Tilly Shilling did of course design a temporary component to reduce the negative G cut outs on early Spits.. Fave Spit has to be the MkVIII & IX.. with the 2 stage, 2 speed supercharger on the Merlin 60 series engines, and with the original shape rudder and high back fuselage.. & standard non-clipped wings👌🏼
The Spitfire F MK.XVI, so good and so agile; good firepower. It is surprising how good it is with the clipped wing. What it lacks in turn it makes up for in role. A lot of people disregard it but it just requires a different type of playstyle.
Blueeagle yeah by that logic, it could extend to stuff like the Me262, 264 or other Messerschmitt-made aircraft in the game. If we were going to have a video like that, I would also like to see one on the Junkers bomber series
Spitfire MK IX in my opinion is the best. *A TIP FOR ALL PILOTS WHEN FLYING THIS AIRCRAFT:* Start to side climb at 15 degrees full WEP to about 6000m. Then dive on anything below you but choose your targets wisely
V1's launched from a rail with a rocket booster, using a ramjet engine for flight. They were called "Buzz Bombs" because of the sound the ramjet made. The V2, like a modern rocket, launched vertically because it WAS a rocket, .
Spitfire Mk.2B with Stealth ammo on the cannons and Tracer ammo on the guns. You can force enemies to manouver, break groups apart, take out anything it faces without anyone realizing your there, catch bombers, fight early tanks. It can do most things realy. Fantastic plane, and in my opinion one of the ebst for its tier.
"Short bursts" With Hisparknos? hell no. Maybe so in a unlikely, nearly impossible universe where they decide to fix british 20mm and make them act like actual cannons instead of harmless firework throwers.
I love the early Spits. They're so realistically british... They even overheat like a british engine should! Not even pushing it and BOOM, best drop to 70% for a while, let that magic carby Merlin chill for a hot second
The Spitfire's design actually has a German wing. (There was a person who worked at a German aircraft production place (I don't remember, tbh. Just look up "Spitfire" on Netflix.) But the blueprints were shared with the Germans.)
My favorite one is the Spitfire F Mk 16 because it features a bubble canopy, 4 blades on prop & something that makes it stand out from the other spitfires... clipped wings.
definitely the mk9 in game. in real life the MK1 or 2 have seen one of them flying with the BBMF and siting on the ground an absolutely beautiful aircraft. maybe it will inspire me to get my pilot license
strap the oerlikon AA onto it and it would became a flying-pacific-version-fletcher The Oerlikons has cooling issues, but with the spitfire's speed, it ain't an issue
The fact that the MK V C is at 5.7 is giving me the feeling of something is not right, since it can't chase diving Jerries and will always lost in a energy fight "unless your enemy is stupid enough to actually dogfight you" but the gun is too powerful it can spank a mid alt bomber in one click and I still like it since I do so well in it.
I feel they should have mentioned that R. J. Mitchell sadly passed in 1937 from cancer before the Spitfire was officially adopted.
They mentioned that in a Shooting Range episode where they talked about him. But yeah.

Furthermore, historically the mk.24 has mk.5 canons.
Thanks for your answers.
I am pretty sure Mk 24 has mk V
@@FRix73 nope you can verify he has mk.2 with 650 ammo rounds
@@juliens2154 what the hell man, mk 2 have different sound and RoF
@@FRix73 yep that should be modified
@@juliens2154 What the hell, you are actually right.
I always thought those are mk.V
REEEEEEE GAIJIN
My experience playing Spitfires:
You wanna climb? No problem
You wanna dogfight? Go ahead
You wanna be faster? Bad news...
You wanna fight Head-ons? Don't
You wanna energy-fight? Try the 109
You wanna take only 12 minutes of fuel? 20 minutes always
Remember: you're frangile and sensitive as a kitten so Be kind to the controls, and once your 20mm cannons are out you'll return to the airfield and rearm unless you have enough 7.7 ammo to attack your last enemy, and when i say "enough" i mean 800+ bullets
If you Treat her like a lady She will always bring you back home
That end formation was incredible!
Wish they added Ian Smith’s spitfire. That’d be dope. I think he got shot down either attacking a convoy or a train. He went on to become Rhodesia’s prime minister after returning home after evading capture in Italy and journeying across the alps to get to the French front.
Last time I was this early, I had a maus staring at me
Spitfire mkIX. Great climber, good turn rate, shreads every other aircraft to pieces. Nice balance.
It only took so many years to make this. *slow clap* wow
MkXIVE and the MkVb are my favorite Spitfires, The Mk Vb is how I learned to fly in warthunder and I got several ace games in it,meanwhile the XIVe has enough speed to catch diving high-tier props (bloody jerries always running!TURN BACK AND FIGHT ME COWARDS!)and enough manouverability to turn inside most of them(including some of the rarer japanese aircraft ex:Ki-87,Ki-94-II, J6k1 and J7w1)
Players who main German Bombers:
I fear no man...
But that thing ( *Spitfire* )
Scares me....
[Based in a real life experience]
AMERICAN 357 as an avid german bomber player, I acn say that it doesnt scary me
Im Main Bomber and like 75% times I get killed is a Spitfire
I just got the He 111 H-6 and in the first match a spitfire came.
Spitfires Are easy kill for the german bombers if the Spitfire Is flying straight but when he Is flying on you from above you Are pretty much dead
@@Onyxar Im agree, almost any airplane is easy if they are just flying straight... But if the come From up or down you know you should start praying
Spitfire MK14 a very aggressive angel of the skies, but a beautiful dancer in aerial ballet.
The bit at the end with the massive group of Spits
I love " SUPERMARINE SPITFIRE " see ya in the game. Captain !
I’m going to ask again, can we please decide where we put the tank shells inside the tank?
I would kill to be able to not store my tiger H1 shells in the side of the tank
My god yes
It would be too op :/ And how exactly would you want to do that?
@ben walker Good point I should of thought of that
I love all spitfire variations.
Massive Kudos to the narrator for getting every mark in this video correct. Tally Ho
definitely
my no.1 turn fighter is
1. A6M versions ( i love it)
2. KI series
3 . spitfire mk IIb
Pls do bf 109 family ! Thank you I'm loving the game
It would sound like this
The bf109 siries is one of the best climbing props so you can circle around enemy spawn at 6000m and boom n zoom everyone + it requires no skill thats here for today
@@zhurs-mom oh boy how wrong are you. The 109s require quite good understanding of energy fighting, and knowledge of enemy planes. You have to have some skill cause otherwise you will get killed by everything. Unless you mean in AB. In that case i fully agree with you, but not like there is any skill involved anyways in anything
If you think you can just dive on enemies and zoom back up and be fine, you’ve got a lesson coming for you
@@zhurs-mom depends what you determine skill is. Is skill to you hitting a barrel roll head-on with the 20mm potatoe cannon? Or is skill using a plane to it's strengths and not just turn fighting.
@@samuellatta6774 The Bf 109s aren't overpowered rather that they have better team composition and are closer packed than allied planes which are less densely packed cause they have to side climb. (Not to mention the allied fighters filled with bombs and rockets flying at sea level going for light pillpoxes )
Miss Tilly Shilling did of course design a temporary component to reduce the negative G cut outs on early Spits..
Fave Spit has to be the MkVIII & IX.. with the 2 stage, 2 speed supercharger on the Merlin 60 series engines, and with the original shape rudder and high back fuselage.. & standard non-clipped wings👌🏼
If spitfires are stronk why can't I get a single kill in RB? Even in Arcade I only got around average of 2 KILLS?!
A Dude That Can Draw cuz u bad
Because you're not using the plane correctly
@@youreasimp1468 maybe
@@gordonfreeman7320 I'm used to energy fighting so

hammock flies a fooken spootfire
I have a question, why is the repair cost for the B-29 so high?
because you can make 600k SL in one game
The spitfire griffons are my favourite. They just looks so slick and clean
It appears you have made a mild error when typing the name of the spacefire. Its spacefire not spitfire
07:32 I've piloted one of these beasts in _Heroes of the Pacific_ very good aircraft.
as a main german player, I would say that a dead spitfire it's my favorite
The Spitfire F MK.XVI, so good and so agile; good firepower. It is surprising how good it is with the clipped wing. What it lacks in turn it makes up for in role. A lot of people disregard it but it just requires a different type of playstyle.
Same goes for the FR Mk XIVe
3.36, that's a v1 not v2 and the v1's did not launch vertically.
"we suggest that you stick to short bursts tho"... Laugh in Yak-9T with 29 round only :')

@@destroyerarmor2846 best I did is one magazine 3 kill
Could you please do a"The Messerschmitt bf109 family " video next
You are aware that Messerschnitt was the aviation company and not a series of airplane, right?
Blueeagle yeah by that logic, it could extend to stuff like the Me262, 264 or other Messerschmitt-made aircraft in the game. If we were going to have a video like that, I would also like to see one on the Junkers bomber series
Gaming LEGO Messerschmitt is a company it’s the bf109 family
@@haydenhackett9090 or the me family like the 410 and the 262/264
Spitfire MK IX in my opinion is the best.
*A TIP FOR ALL PILOTS WHEN FLYING THIS AIRCRAFT:* Start to side climb at 15 degrees full WEP to about 6000m. Then dive on anything below you but choose your targets wisely
0:51 xd to beautiful
Uh excuse me wtf? the V-1 was launched from an angled ramp, there's no way it could take off verticaly
Bruh they know, they don't have a V2 model so they substituted it with a V1 to get the point across
V1's launched from a rail with a rocket booster, using a ramjet engine for flight. They were called "Buzz Bombs" because of the sound the ramjet made. The V2, like a modern rocket, launched vertically because it WAS a rocket, .
Just imagine war thunder on nintendo switch
I wish for that everyday bro
Free exp and sl

Spitfire Mk.2B with Stealth ammo on the cannons and Tracer ammo on the guns. You can force enemies to manouver, break groups apart, take out anything it faces without anyone realizing your there, catch bombers, fight early tanks. It can do most things realy. Fantastic plane, and in my opinion one of the ebst for its tier.
Too bad Hispanos dont work. Not on the Spitfire, Wyvern, Canberra or Venom. But yeah germany suffers doesnt it
Meanwhile the American Hispano-derivates are absolutely insane.
@@AmogusInMyWalls which ones are those
@@dozergames2395 The AN/M2 and AN/M3 cannons.
I haven't used the Spitfire but this video made me rethink the my ideas of the Spitfire series
8:33 I hate all spitfires except our one. We only fly our beautiful red fighters!
Since when was Stalin watching War Thunder videos?
@@aidan4550 hah he doesnt awnser to people in gulag. :p
Since 1939
We need replays on Xbox One.
can we have a BF 109 family video?
"Short bursts" With Hisparknos? hell no.
Maybe so in a unlikely, nearly impossible universe where they decide to fix british 20mm and make them act like actual cannons instead of harmless firework throwers.
I love the early Spits. They're so realistically british... They even overheat like a british engine should! Not even pushing it and BOOM, best drop to 70% for a while, let that magic carby Merlin chill for a hot second
They Fly like garbage in Air Simulator. Fix them.
o7
@@CptToastman Ah yes. The Man himself.
@@CptToastman I take it back the man himself has spoken fix Spitfire FM
I think that tge problem might be that the Spit is over sensitive for non force feedback sticks.
Can anyone confirm this?
This makes me angry how beautiful it looks, I keep dying with the spitfire.
“Powerful weaponry” yeah right the .303 just tickles a little
My favourite spitfire is the burnt down spitfire. AND the crashed-into-the-ground spitfire too!
I love my MK XXII in game. it simply turns better than any other plane i fly with any nation.
Me in war thunder in a spitfire: does no damage to any fighters.
Random guy in by plane: yoink
By plane
@@Kay_213_ auto correct doesn't like it.
The Spitfire's design actually has a German wing. (There was a person who worked at a German aircraft production place (I don't remember, tbh. Just look up "Spitfire" on Netflix.) But the blueprints were shared with the Germans.)
My favorite one is the Spitfire F Mk 16 because it features a bubble canopy, 4 blades on prop & something that makes it stand out from the other spitfires... clipped wings.
I'm Japanese, but I love Spitfire very much. And Hayabusa who flew with Spitfire after the end of the war.
Mk1a and MK2 are honestly the most favourite as they are overkill.
The Mk IX has to be the best combination of speed, maneuverability and firepower not to mention I have flown in one :)
That’s my favourite too
In its BR-bracket, the MKIIa is a brilliant warbird to fly
A perfect series of aeronautical flying machines
definitely the mk9 in game.
in real life the MK1 or 2 have seen one of them flying with the BBMF and siting on the ground an absolutely beautiful aircraft. maybe it will inspire me to get my pilot license
"Mostly to stupid accidents"
Wow... Your plane is too good it needs two stupid accidents to destroy it, and it only lost 2
Bro imagine not ground pounding
Comment made by the Mustang and Thunderbolt families
B-25 feels left out
strap the oerlikon AA onto it
and it would became a flying-pacific-version-fletcher
The Oerlikons has cooling issues, but with the spitfire's speed, it ain't an issue
God I love the MK XVI. Something about clipped wings, the bubble top canopy, and a merlin engine is just astonishingly sexy
Only a burning Spitfire is a good Spitfire
LFMK.XVI and MKXIV are my fave variants of among all Spitfire Variants
2:54 The Mark V didn't have an issue with its float carb, they had fixed the issue by then. You should change that in your computer game.
i feal like Gaijin should add the B-17F to go with the Memphis Belle pin-up
My favorite family in the game!
My favorite plane of the game is the Spitfire F. MK IXc
The fact that the MK V C is at 5.7 is giving me the feeling of something is not right, since it can't chase diving Jerries and will always lost in a energy fight "unless your enemy is stupid enough to actually dogfight you" but the gun is too powerful it can spank a mid alt bomber in one click and I still like it since I do so well in it.
