I used MkV to create Spitfire MkII b. I modified the existing Merlin III engine to create Merlin XII (rated at 1175) and used Spitfire MkV b 3D model, aerodynamic parameters and damage model. MkV and MkII should be very close in external appearance and aerodynamics and have identical weapons.
I'm still waiting for reliable data on the aircraft performance so I can test if I got it right.
So far I adjusted the weight and engine. Still need to tune the engine and aircraft params (rated alt, boost, max speed)
My MkII does about ~450km/h at sea level, I don't know if this is correct.
My subjective assesment after a short test flight: It turns very well, low speed handling is amazing, acceleration seems slower compared to MkV.
P.S. The mod was done modifying existing class, I'm still unable to get the Il-2 engine to run with classes I compiled. I'm using 4.05.
