actually in terms of the actual guns installed in most Vcs there was no difference in armament between the b and c models. the C type wing was meant as a universal wing that could have different amament types installed (8xmgs, 2xcannon and 4xmgs, or 4xcannons). but by far the most common installment of armament in any C type of spitfire from the V to the XIV was the 2xhispano and 4x mg versions because it was the most versatile. which, even though everyone seems to forget this or just hasn't noticed for some odd reason, we DO have the Vc in the game with the standard 2xhispano and 4xmg armament that would be just fine in my opinion for fitting with the in game Vb nose and a new slot for the ETO theater. sorry if i'm off on everyone elses assumptions about the in game versions and their armament but it seems like every time this issue has come up there's been someone trying to shout it down because of the 4x cannon armament when that isn't the only Vc we have in game. and i know it won't be just as simple as switching the noses but it certainly doesn't seem to be as impossible or as bad an idea as everyone seems to think it is whenever this issue crops up (the recent Seafire mod comes to mind here, i remember someone requesting this when that mod was first in development and the mod maker said it was unconsiderable because of the 4cannon armament and i remember thinking, uhh...you know if you scroll up or down one in the plane list low and behold there is one without the 4 cannons). just my two cents on the matter.
