[I/JG27_Waggel]

On the research for historical data (FW-190A-3 "Project Wurger") I tripped again and again over the Spitfire F Mk IX. The Spitfire F Mk IX was originally developed as a stopgap measure as a response to the appearance of the Focke-Wulf FW 190A. The Mk IX was a significant improvement on the Mk V using a merlin 61 with its two-stage supercharger. In July 1942 an early Mk IX was flown against a captured Fw 190A, and the two aircraft were discovered to have very similar capabilities. Both planes had their advantages and disadvantages. The RAF had its answer to the Fw 190 problem. My bad conscience drove me to arouse an equal opponent for the 190.

At the moment all modders are very buisys (as every day). But lets keep it british with a cup of tea. This topic should collect all possible data for the F Mk IX.
