![]() Finally, the only ordnance that the plane can carry is a single 500 lb bomb. Additionally, performance at low altitudes can be inadequate in certain situations. ![]() For one, the powerful engine is prone to overheating, so throttle and WEP management may be necessary. However, the plane does have some drawbacks. It can turnfight well, of course, but it can also boom and zoom or energy fight with much success. With these flight characteristics, the Spitfire is a sort of jack of all trades. It also has a good roll rate, making rolling scissors manoeuvres a viable tactic in dogfights. Be careful though, since at very high speeds, sharp manoeuvres may cause the wings to snap.Īs far as manoeuvrability goes, the Spitfire is still very good at turning, especially at high altitudes. This plane's engines gives it great acceleration, and it also accelerates well in dives. Since dogfighting in the Spitfire can involve prolonged turn-fights, make sure that no other enemies are nearby, or that if there are, that they can be dealt with by teammates. ![]() With such an altitude advantage, the pilot is able to choose which engagements to pursue, and the ability to choose engagements wisely is necessary. However, it still does have a very competitive rate of climb, and can usually come out above all but a few opponents. ![]() The Spitfire F Mk XIVe, being outfitted with a Griffon engine, does not have as stellar of a climb rate as its Merlin engine counterparts. The Spitfire F Mk XIVe can be outfitted with the following ordnance: ![]()
