firstly the mk16 you mention is basically a mk9 but with a packard merlin engine( RR engine built under license by pakard) so it woild be worth anyones effort to input this into the game.
Secondly the mk14 you also mention was the second griifon 61 (later 65)engined spitfire. This was an important step and definatly should be included(delivery october 1943). I suspect that it wasnt included by oleg purely because of the whining luftwaffa pilots who already call the 25lb spit "uber" as the mk14 was fitted with a two stage supercharger and could easily catch a FW or 109.
Lets not forget other varients here either. Mk12 . first operational griifon spit. single stage supercharger , originally desinated the MK4 (yes there was a griifon engine at that early stage!). This only flew from british soil to catch hit n running luftwaffa planes as early as 1943!
On my spitfire wishlist would also include mk2,mk3 ,mk7(extended wingtip), floatplane mk9b, mk12, mk14, if only
