Bluebottle Wrote:The problem with the 1C SpitIXs in speed terms is that they are all modeled on the F model - even the LF.Exactly. The ONLY 'LF' Mk.IX is the 25-lber, all the others are F-models whether they're labelled as F or LF (save for the clipped wing on the LFs, which, I believe, the 25-lber ought to have seeing it is an LF). The Mk.Vs are correct in that the LF versions do get better low alt peformance whilst sacrificing performance at altitude.
Probably too late to put a proper LF engine in the current LF Mk.IXs... I mean, most online dogfights happen at low level, so if Spit LF.IXs were any better down there they'd be too uber and need further community 'reworking'...

Strictly that gives you the groundspeed, but, provided there's no wind in the mission, that's the same as TAS.
