Spitfire F Mk IX (1942 - Channel)
#8

Hi Redcanuck

Yes, I saw this modification some time ago. I will ask him.

Edit: Uuups. Jesus there she is.

Hmm ... what is the difference between a Spit F IX and a Spit IXb.

First there was the Spit Vb.

Than the Focke Wulf models A-1, A-2, A-3 and A-4 arrived at the channel.

First of all the RAF answered with a Spit LF Vb. This Version of the Spit had much power in lower regions but the performance was bad in high altitude.

Than the RAF came out with the Spit F Mk IX. It was a Spit Vb with merlin 61 motor.

In 1943 there where new versions called Spit LF IX and Spit HF IX. I think these birds are in game. The LF is for low altitude und the HF is for high altitude.

This post can be wrong. I really do not now a lot about Spitfires.
