Change Spitfire LF Mk.9 & Bf.109Z-1 to be more relevant

TL,DR: move Bf.109Z-1 to BR 4, move Spitfire LF Mk.9 to BR 3 and give it a single 500lb bomb.

First, let me explain why Bf.109Z-1 at BR 5 might be better than it seems: armed with 4x30mm MK108 + 1x250kg bomb, 790 km/h max speed at 4900m, it has better climb rate (basically meaning better acceleration) than Me,262, but only a 250kg bomb and an offset cockpit which makes aiming this small, as for BR 5 standards, bomb harder. It would fit in BR 4 better, making a more infantry-attacking-focused sidegrade to Bf.110, thanks to its 4 cannons with powerful HE shells, and a bomb would only have trouble with BR 5 tanks like IS-2 and T26E4.

As for Spitfire LF Mk.9, with 2x20mm + 2x12,7mm, 774km/h max speed at 4900m. Super fast for its BR, but lack of even a single bomb makes it a not so desired reward. It can be moved to BR 3 and armed with a single 500lb (~250kg) HE bomb, making it a versatile fast fighter capable of destroying most enemy tanks and shooting down planes alike.

Yes Give Spitfire its bomb

Also the German Bf 109 F-4/trop

This thing with a bomb is BR IV or BR V fighter it cant be BR III. Even the current one they are planning to give to BR II is better then the German BF 109 F-4/trop

BR IV or BR V is ok if it gets its bomb but more likely BR V unless they move some propeller planes to BR IV do to the jets

What are you two on? P-51 is fast, has 6×12.7mm + 2×500lb, Ki-100 is fast, has 2×20mm + 2×12.7mm + 2×250kg bombs, and both planes are at BR3.

Its basically Ki with less ammo but with better climb and turn rate… P-51 has no chance against such plane. And here is your P 51:

You cant dog fight them you cant boom and zoom them you cant outrun them or out climb them since their speed is too close so really what you gonna do against them if it was not for the spawn mechanic in this game you have no options. Since they have more firepower and better turn rates with very close speed to yours. It has almost same climb rate as a BF:

The Spitfire LF Mk.9 is a BR V fighter plane.

You are just delusional. Bf109z shouldn’t be above BR3 because it is worse than p51 and ki100. German BR3 desperately needs a usable fighter other than BR2 IAR. Even Soviet has dual lend-lease p40 with the last bp, so there is zero reason to handicap German BR3 any further.
Meanwhile, Spitfire Mk9 is literally the best dogfighter during WWII. It has no busy being BR3 and completely outclasses p51. It should be at least be BR4, with bomb added.
