The Spitfire Mk.IX can only carry a single 500-pound bomb, and its forward firepower is underwhelming. The Ki-100 is its formidable opponent, while the Fw 190 A-8 can easily destroy it

The Spitfire IX is better then Ki-100 and Fw 190 A-8
As you can see it has better performance then Ki-84-Ko while Ki has more ammo

The stat card doesn’t mean everything in War Thunder. My teammate was flying this plane and didn’t even manage to kill a single Zero. That’s so ridiculous.
Average Spitfire LF enjoyers in WT
He cant play if he cant kill a zero …you have much more speed and firepower with Zero less climb rate then 22 while you have 28 you don’t dog fight it go vertical is it so hard you have 6+ seconds more then the zero instead of this you are probably dog fighting it…
I understand if it has bugged controls like the FW or the P-40 but the spitfires dont have such problem.
Hard to explain them that a plane that have good turn,speed and climb is a much better plane then a Zero that can only dogfight…

In Enlisted , aircraft payload is everything. The pilot just needs to destroy their desired tanks and infantry, then immediately commit suicide—it’s not as effective as the BR3’s Ki-100 or the P-51, where two bombs equal two tanks.

Depends on the size of bombs and their location all German fighters have 250 kg bomb same payload as this plane:
If this plane is BR V so the Spitfire IX it has same size bomb and more speed while spitfire can out dogfight it and then you have G-14 G-10 that have no bombs… at all and are BR V and BR IV.
I don’t think there’s any aircraft worth considering at BR5 except jets. The MG 131 and 30mm cannons are far superior to 12.7mm and 20mm guns—just a single 30mm round is enough to shred any Allied plane to pieces. And have you even played with the 12.7mm in Enlisted ? A snowball does more damage than that thing!All those kills were either thanks to the M20 incendiary rounds or just pure luck with headshots.
Is not 20 mm cannon and you have 2 and only one 30 mm while here you have
2x and 2x20 mm hispano so its ok trade off since 2x20 mm are better then 1 30mm and then you have 2x12,7 mm vs 2x13 mm so yeah seems very balanced to me. And then compare it to the La-7 that has only 2x20 mm and worse bombs and flying characteristics… and the Ki-87 has exactly the same fire power as Spitfire IX.
Bro dont know mg151 ammo belt issue in enlisted
Now I can confidently say that you are like WT and enlisted DEV, someone who has never flown a German tech tree ww2 prop and just complains.
I’ve played 750 matches with Germany after the merge, and even more before that. Want to know why I stopped? Victory came too easily—from BR2 to BR5, simply picking the optimal loadout made me practically unstoppable. I got tired of driving the Tiger II, 3n, and using the FG 42 and ZK 383.
how this is relevant information to this plane… winning and losing has nothing to do with vehicles you will lose more games playing pilot then infantry.
ir superiority doesn’t exist in Enlisted. In the most intense 10v10 matches, you just need to pick the fastest plane with the heaviest payload and ram it into the enemy. Dogfighting performance doesn’t matter at all.
This depends on your BR you are talking about BR V matches and thats fine but an event plane cant be better then TT plane and this plane is BR V plane unless they are willing to reduce the BR of the La-7 and Japanese N1K2-J and J2M3 to BR IV then the Spitfire IX can be BR IV plane but it can’t be BR III. How the G-6 is better ?
I’ve actually tried 10v10 custom battles from BR2 upwards - the only difference is that it takes slightly longer to kill each other. Other than that, nothing changes. Both your enemies and your own teammates keep screaming at you: 'Why the hell haven’t you taken out that tank yet?In that situation, every plane feels like a stone from a slingshot - just waiting to smash the windshield of that one player you despise the most.
There is no big payloads on early BRs that you can carry on fast planes so dogfighting don’t matter at BR V since you have very big payloads on very fast planes there is only at BR III where is few planes with big payloads but not on the level of BR V and if you ram Ki-100 you are wasting it its really a good to dogfight at BR III even at BR IV is fine as long as you don’t face US/GE BR V cuz they are the only factions that are ramming planes with big payloads since their jets and fast ground attackers allows them to do so. With USSR is a bit harder since there is no fast ground attacker and with Japan there is no ground attacker at all … you are probably playing GE/US and if dog fighting didn’t matter Meteor was not going to be so OP. Its important the plane to be fast but if it has all its other statistics it makes it very good right now really the best plane in the game is the Meteor and there is faster jets so its not just speed. Simply Allies are spoiled faction when it comes to payloads.
“For the aircraft, this is just a one-way ticket—its only mission is to kill as many enemies and infantry as possible. Everyone operates like clockwork: search and destroy. On maps without carriers, the Comet performs mediocre at best, but in a BR 3 environment, a tank’s lifespan rarely exceeds 30 seconds. For infantry, it’s even more brutal—most don’t even last 15.”
This depends on your team and the fighter planes there is a lot of propeller planes that are better to be honest only the meteor is broken if they nerf it will be better for all. But all Jets need a big nerf since they are the main issue.
