Nice to see the Legendary Mk IX spitfire finally make and appearance 
now for the bad…Why would you bollocks it up by adding another fighter plane without ordnance…I thought we were well and truly past this
The BRs for both planes are also very messed up, as are most things added this year
Please get an Advisor or an Alpha tester to help actually put these planes in properly.
Thanks
I should be over the moon to finally see the MK 9 Spittty…but it was so MEH…I almost didnt play my two games to post

They are wasting this plane right now we have 2 spitfires on this BR without bombs why do we need one more xD

I suspect this is the MK IX without the High octane fuel which is 4.3 in War thunder Opposite the 109 F series
Im not suggesting, I’m pretty much saying (as many have) that
1: it needs a bomb to be relevant for enlisted
2: It is BR 3ish (Yes its going to shit over BR 3 Germany fighters…not much you can do about that the state they are in…Italian planes are needed to assist)
The BF 109 Z-1 is not BR 5 worthy at all.
With the addition of Jets ALL BR 5 “Prop Fighters” are BR 4. And all BR 4 planes are pretty much BR 3 (give or take)

My friend the problem is we are getting this fighter in BR II :
Spitfire LF Mk IX | War Thunder Wiki
just look at the stats how can this fighter be worse then La-7 ? I have no idea what the devs are smoking giving this better then La-7 fighter to BR II xD
I made the topic comparing it with a lot other fighters but just from the stat card it looks very impressive:
Spitfire LF Mk IX Is not a BR II plane give it a bomb and move it to BR V

oh it is the high octane version… BR 4… (I say this as IMO all BR 5 prop fighters are now BR 4 because of jets)
BR 5 spitty would be the MK 22 or 24
this one for BR 5

Exactly its the High octane fuel 
And I was shocked cuz its hard to evaluate such plane since its absolutely insane in war thunder and then I saw BR II
I really hope they give it a bomb and leave it on BR II Germany and Japan gonna just uninstall their game

I don’t have any hope of changing the course of events. But I think the Spitfire should be moved to BR3 with a 250lb bomb. Yes, it’s not a lot of bombs, but at least you have something to do.
Also the BF 109Z should definitely be BR4. But I was wondering, what if we turned it into an Attacker and moved it to BR3?

Instead of leaving BF109Z on BRV, can’t move it to Bomber, not Fighter?
If this changes to Bomber, it will be a good competition with P-47D-28.
I think BR V would be appropriate even for Attacker.
That plane can compete well with P-47D-28.
I’m willing to replace my Fw 190 D-12 right away if this changes to Attacker.
It will definitely be harder to use than the P47. Also, I personally don’t see 4 30mm cannons as being the same as 10 HVAR rockets. It definitely has to be a BR4 anyway. But maybe it could fit inside a BR3(But definitely not as a fighter). I wish I could test it.

In the case of 30mm Minengeschoß x4
It’s definitely hard to destroy tank,
The enemy plane can be disassembled immediately (including jets)
The ability to kill infantry is certainly excellent.
It can project killing power comparable to HVAR.
Of course, it can be difficult if it’s used by an unskilled player,
It’s very easy if know all the camps and all the routes and predict the expected path of the enemy.
Killing power for infantry has already been validated with Me262 Jabo.

I’m not saying it’s bad, but 10 HVAR in the hands of a skilled player would definitely be more dangerous.

The infantry is honestly similar.
It’s going to be a bit weak against tanks, but I think the strength is that can definitely block the opponent’s flying system with a very powerful punch to the U.S. Air Force, which is the most important thing.
The U.S. military is a Deadman faction without Plane.
You kill a meteor, you turn around. Suddenly another one spawns and kills you.

Don’t worry about it.
I won the aerial battle in most situations with two Me 262 and a Fw 190 D-12 rotation.
It’s fatal if miss the plane, but the 30mm x4 that can be broken down right away if hit the plane is really very powerful.
Nice,
But can we have an infantry event next time with some. Ew squads and weapons?
Seems like we have not gotten any yet in this year

not any worse than other BR2 machineguns, if you invest in recoil perks and make it a habit to crouch with it, its very manageable especially considering the lower ROF it has (500rpm versus 600+ rpm of other german MGs)
