when you metioned whip_energy i felt so nostalgic, last time he uploaded was about a year ago if i remember correctly, love his montages, K4 is my favorite. those flat spin kills...
10:44 people always quit the head on and just go to the side when they are getting close. But for me? They go for a head on and stay on you so even by turning they get those shots on me and i die. That's why i hate head ons so much. Sometimes you can't escape them and you get punished. Just look how passive that guy is. I never see that in my games. EVER.
There's a way to get out of them I've found, I'm not really good enough to describe it well and it doesn't work every time for me, but if you time it right, you can turn so that it's impossible for the to get their guns on you.
Let out a volley before them, I always start shooting a little before 1km then you'll see them start to fire and break away then catch your rounds to their cockpit. If they end up shooting first just break away, don't risk it, and try again. Or avoid them all together if you're not comfortable. But I love doing headons tbh the kill is so satisfying especially if you just barely dodge the wreck of their plane. It's exhilarating lol
I feel like if you were running tracers or even universals you could’ve conserved so much ammo by being able to tell where they were going being able to compensate easier.
I love this plane so much. Got it in the World War and grinded the british tree with it. It’s really easy to get the 4 kills in RB with it for the event. So glad you made a video on it. Love❤️
I would really like to see a Spitfire F mk 24 against early jets. I play that plane but sometimes struggle against jets like F - 89D(wonder why) or F-89B. Really would like to now how to play it properly.
I joined WT just after they had the RAF event. But luckily I was able to get this plane off the marketplace before it got priced into oblivion. I’m so glad i did, its one of my absolute favorite premium aircraft. Definitely the best premium Spitfire by far.
5:00 Nooo, that move JamJam did with the proximity rockets was awesome, that's such a solid move. You set the fuse to explode, and time your shot correctly which he failed to do. It's great for air to air kills, the splash damage will get them. I recommend trying these shots with the 109 G6 which has the same rockets, or if you like Russia, use the Mig15/17 and most of the mig 21s have prox rockets"S21 / S24" The Su7's have S24 too. It's a solid method if you time it right, and super satisfying. Blowing up planes point blank on head-ons when you set the fuse to say 300m :D ... Give it a shot... :p
This is my most flown British plane. I used it to grind out basically the entirety of the tech tree and I fly this plane to grind out most of the events. At this point, I know it so well one guy even accused me of hacking the other day :p
In the Spitfire, altitude is everything. If you get above them, they are yours for the taking. I haven't got the IXc, but I have the regular F MkIX and I never got along with it. Its slow and it really doesn't climb well. The 109s at that BR always seemed to get above me, even after side climbing, and me and my squad get rinsed. The guns; 2 Hispanos and 4 Browning 303cal MGs, its not enough at 4.3. The Brownings are little more than hardened pea shooters at this BR. I personally like the LF IX. 2 Hispanos and 2 50cals, but flaming hell she climbs like nothing else I know. It is so satisfying getting above those Ta152s and jumping on them, because they don't expect it. And turning in her, she is incredibly agile. Also, the other one I really like is the Seafire FR47. The stock plane is just useless, but once spades she is fast. A decent climber, alright turner, very good energy retention in B&Z fighting, and 4 Hispano MK5 guns. Did I mention she's fast?
Hey mate, I really enjoy your flight advice in these fighters. It really helps plebs like me :). I'd love you to play ANY spitfire, but also the F4u 1c would be awesome!
I have this Spitfire and it is so much fun. I had a dogfight with a G55S and 109 G2 Trop stall fighting them both at the same time an I won. 400m convergence with stealth belts the hispanos hit like trucks.
@@ELITE-xn3sh The Spit MkIXc is better in the vertical than the G55S, better climb, p/w, lower stall speed, much better control at stall speeds. I love the G55S, it's my most played fighter. (NoobNumeroUno) in game name. In a same enegy dogfight the MkIX and MIXc and G55S are quite close in performance with the Spits being just slightly better.
@@lukefrombk I was just pointing out what i knew about the g55. I have some record under my tally (ELITE340) , but i hold nosignificant records for the spitfire family whatsoever , i only played the israeli ones to progress. So boss , we can try out a custom , lets see what each can do and cant. Greetings!
Your skills makes it a pleasure to watch you videos , me in a split with alt advance, speed and all The yada yada goes ‘puff’ in The firs minutes of The fight.i You know how to read The other players and that is an awesome skill and you know what you Can and Can not do when you strap on wings, German British American ect. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and all who reads this and stay safe Thunder Bro.
13:15 That's not necessarily true.... The zeros can win dogfights even with energy disadvantage... because they just turn that well... but of course no one is stupid enough to try to dogfight zeros....
You'd be surprised.... I have people try to one-circle with me all the time.... Easy punish if you can aim - the Japanese 20mms with universal belts slap
@Siegward of Catarina You must have only used Imperial Japanese Naval Air Force 20 mm canons if you say that Japanese 20mms are good, try those of the Army air force line and then we can talk.
Just got the F2G-1 you've got to try it, if I'm not wrong you said in one of your older videos that you liked the Japaneese Corsair, well this is something like that on 6.7.
IRL, it's almost impossible to boom n zoom with a spit cause it's unstable and the nose will to go up, and you wil turn left or right (can't remember) try the DCS spitfire lfmk9, you'll love it
I play German main but have also researched the Brit tech tree to level 4 in land and air. I love the Bf109 and believe it to be one of the most dangerous aircraft of that period .But having played various British aircraft I have to admit that they are a lot of fun. Spitfires overall do not have the raw speed of a 109 or the power of a 190 but they are dancers in the sky. My only regret is that for some reason the British teams I am on don't seem to really keep it together much, air or land. The best matches are when you get that one or two people who just click with what each other are doing and that can turn around a match completely. I love the German aircraft and I love the British ones as well. I also play US and Russia but have to confess that they are not as much fun at rank 3 and 4, at least for me. The one exception is the P63 Aircobra. It is the one rank 3 Yank plane that I absolutely love to fly. Anyway, enough rambling. Thank you for the video. I am currently researching the Seafire and have already finished the Spitfire IX research but the stats have made me hesitant to play it. The weight of the cannons make it slightly slow in a turn and while it can match most German, US and Russian planes I am worried about its performance against Japanese and Swedish ones. Thanks for the lesson. It will help a lot. P.S. I am not very good with aircraft, or even land vehicles, but I do love the game even when it drives me crazy. If their is any chance of you making some advanced tactic tutorials I would greatly appreciate it. I know its a lot to ask but anywhere from rank 4 and above I really start having serious trouble remaining competitive. The cost of aircraft at these Br's also make it a money sink for someone like me who is not that good. Thanks.
2 things to say 1. The ki61 is dumb a lot of player do this 2. The other day I was in my griffon spitfire the first one, and I got alone at like 6k alt and just 2 bombers on my team it was a 1v4 two bf109k and ta152 plus a Re2005 I got 3 kill and I played like you said. I was surprise when I trap the Re he got a shot on me and PiLot SnIp 😭😭 anyway good work you are underrated WT youtuber
Rules of the Spitfire: 1) be above your enemy 2) don't lose your energy unless you know you can afford it. 3) get up close and personal before unleashing hell on that 109. 400m is a good convergence, but you will be engaging closer than that.
Spit, I got the A2D1 as well as the J2M5 in the sale. Both are excellent planes. I grinded out the whole German and British tree. Was wondering if you have any recommendations for the Italians and the French. Are they worth it?
Hey Spit, very nice video, very cool to see that you give a Spitfire some love ! I would like to know your opinion on the F-104, now that it's been a while that they are in the game, and mostly if they are of any good in that meta that is constantly evolving (I would mostly be interested on your opinion, on the very first ones, and the last ones such as the F-104G). They seem really underwhelming nowadays, and no one really talks much about them ! Are they so bad / unconsistent ?
I'd love to see some duo gameplay, realistic methods using radar and firing fox 2's and fox 3's from fighter jets, you and someone else in say two harriers, fighting two or three mig 15s
Here's how I play, but first we gotta recognize the pros and cons of the spitfire Strengths - Good turn - Looks pretty - Good climb Weaknesses - Float carburetor - Basically don't do -G's because the engine will die out - Compresses over 600kmh - Bad at bomber hunting due to the hispano cannons - Can't chase aircraft in a dive due to both speed limit and the spitfire's weight - (iirc) Cannons overheat quick if held down - Weak as wing spars until later variants. This means both weak roll and wings are likely to snap if sneezed on by a 20mm - Landing flaps that have very slow break limit or landing flaps are never used unless landing or stalling Of course, there are unlisted neutral things that the spitfire has that aren't really worth mentioning. A spitfire is something that controls you, not it. What that means is if you treat it rough it will treat you rough - note this in sims especially. You are only to fault if you see this and fail after as you're clearly not eliminating these weaknesses from your playstyle. Basically how you want to play is to either be accurate with your shots or fire in bursts, fool every braindead German pilot into turning with you, play to all of your strengths listed above and avoid your weaknesses. If facing America and Japan (which god help you) try and 1v1 as much as possible as usually the Americans will dive on you and the Japanese can out turn you really quick. The way to beat Japan players is to try and do what I call "American doodle dance", AKA Bait your enemy. Of course because of how rare the Japanese and American line ups are for me I need to try this method but it's the best shot from what I've researched. I would also recommend both looking at the video series "how to spitfire" - this goes over modifications, playstyle and everything in between and learning how to duck under someone's guns. For me, it took countless guides, research, forum posts, etc. But if you want a cheat code here it goes. Think of someone's rudder as their gun line and try and roll. Don't count on it to save you if the target is 200m (0.12 miles) away. A way to avoid braindead un-sportsman-like braindead boom and zoom is to turn into their dive, this makes it both harder due to the camera and how uncomfortable it is to do so. I would also DEFINITELY recommend watching these very fun IL-2 BFM (battle for moscow) dogfight tutorial videos. These are the groundwork of what you should do in a spitfire and generally any other plane in a dogfight. Anyway with that done remember to put sugar in your tea.
why did the Ki-61 do that? Proooobably because grinding is horrible and getting a single kill while dying is better than getting no kills flying around for 20 minutes
Stealth belt ( air + armored target belt ) is the best choice for dealing much damage to light and armored planes. However, itself is hard to aim without tracer for newbies or those who don't believe in their aiming skills. Air target belt is excellent to deal with fighters, it has lot HEF to set them on fire as well as damaging their engines. To the heavier armored fighters like twin-engine ones or Bombers, you have to watse a ton of ammunition to take them down. Moreover, HEF depends on the angle of your shot, not great to fire at they 6 or the front. Lately, i've found the second best belt for the hispano which is armored one. Why? HEF in MK II or in MK V is the worst ammo in the game, i believe. It gives only hit when firing at the enemy's 6 or front, even can't do much damage to bombers or twin-engine fighters. However, AP deals significant damages to everyone, destroys the enemy's flap, wing, rudder even the pilot and set them on fire with a short burst. Universal is good but still watse alot of ammunition in a short brust. Try it out, you'll see the power of the hispano. All for the queen :D
you say, you need altitude in the spitfire...a plane that is made to reverse boom and zoom fighters... i mean, of course, altitude is always nice, and you got a plane that can climb... but what are you gona do with a plane that can not really turn? the ta 152c3 for example... yes, it can roll, but if the enemy just does not roll with you, he can still get you, because you cant turn and yeah you can climb and you have energy retention, but there ate so many planes that can climb better and handle high speeds better...
Try out the Ro 57 Quadriarma. It has 2 garbage guns (Hispanos 404 and Breda 50cal), it likes to be slow and bleeds speed like its free. It also has an amazing Combat flaps turn rate, a beautifull BR (2.7), and for some reason i preform better on that thing that i do on a P-51 (Or most american planes) Also try out the King Cobra. 3.7 or 4.0 it dont matter.
Spitty, Do you really think its worth running stealth belts on these 20mm only versions? If you ran the belts containing occasional tracers it would probably significantly increase the time to kill and reduce ammo used even if the uni, ground, and air belts are technically less effective. I'm pretty surprised the 264 didn't open fire with the top 20mm's too...
The RAF event to get this Spit was the only event in all of WT history that I had fun playing... and i didnt even get it
Had me in the first half ngl
I've never raged harder getting a rare event plane than this 😂 i got just over halfway and gave my account to someone else
It was the Spitfire furbal right? I loved it too, and the mk9 c is so awesome
@@Spitflyer yeah same was the most frustrating event ive been in. the weird teamings that happend to
I just bought it on the marketplace when they re-released it for like.... 15$. Best 15$ I ever spent
5:04 finally some random thinking outside the box
Shup
Last time i was this early spit flyer flew spitfires
This plane: *am I a joke to you?*
Spit_flyer: "This spitfire has low ammo"
Yak players: *Laughs in 30 rounds*
@J Wilt the 23mm on the yak-15 p has either 30 or 60 rounds
Yup my Yak 15 only has 60rpg it’s still a good plane tho
Bf 109 30mm 65 rounds 😂
A Spitfire! Finally! Good to see you're living up to your name mate
Lol thanks mate
Watches video*
Gets inspired*
*Pilot knocked out*
your pfp explains it all my guy
So sad

Whip was a good bloke man i kinda wanna know what he's up to
@@Gechi999 yeah I'm subbed to him too, his duck montage is insane.... Especially the last kill.
Imagine how much better the Spitfires would be if they got the same belts as the AN/M2.
5:04 FW 190 got distance fused rockets, bu they're more a meme than weapon against planes
That is until you encounter F-89D pilots lol
@@tomfoxlow4815 pretty sure those are proximity fuse

They're actually very good against bombers once you learn how to use them. And you can surprise people who go for stall maneuvers.

They should install smoke grenades in bf109's like in the mighty tigers and other kitties. One hit and smoke.
What was on that Ki-61s mind? What mind?
Great vids Spit. Can you recommend a lineup for a beginner to Air RB?
Yo Im kinda stuck on the spitifre Vb and c any tips for earlier spits?
Here's how I play, but first we gotta recognize the pros and cons of the spitfire
Strengths
- Good turn
- Looks pretty
- Good climb
Weaknesses
- Float carburetor - Basically don't do -G's because the engine will die out
- Compresses over 600kmh
- Bad at bomber hunting due to the hispano cannons
- Can't chase aircraft in a dive due to both speed limit and the spitfire's weight
- (iirc) Cannons overheat quick if held down
- Weak as wing spars until later variants. This means both weak roll and wings are likely to snap if sneezed on by a 20mm
- Landing flaps that have very slow break limit or landing flaps are never used unless landing or stalling
Of course, there are unlisted neutral things that the spitfire has that aren't really worth mentioning.
A spitfire is something that controls you, not it. What that means is if you treat it rough it will treat you rough - note this in sims especially. You are only to fault if you see this and fail after as you're clearly not eliminating these weaknesses from your playstyle.
Basically how you want to play is to either be accurate with your shots or fire in bursts, fool every braindead German pilot into turning with you, play to all of your strengths listed above and avoid your weaknesses.
If facing America and Japan (which god help you) try and 1v1 as much as possible as usually the Americans will dive on you and the Japanese can out turn you really quick. The way to beat Japan players is to try and do what I call "American doodle dance", AKA Bait your enemy. Of course because of how rare the Japanese and American line ups are for me I need to try this method but it's the best shot from what I've researched.
I would also recommend both looking at the video series "how to spitfire" - this goes over modifications, playstyle and everything in between and learning how to duck under someone's guns. For me, it took countless guides, research, forum posts, etc. But if you want a cheat code here it goes.
Think of someone's rudder as their gun line and try and roll. Don't count on it to save you if the target is 200m (0.12 miles) away. A way to avoid braindead un-sportsman-like braindead boom and zoom is to turn into their dive, this makes it both harder due to the camera and how uncomfortable it is to do so. I would also DEFINITELY recommend watching these very fun IL-2 BFM (battle for moscow) dogfight tutorial videos. These are the groundwork of what you should do in a spitfire and generally any other plane in a dogfight.
Anyway with that done remember to put sugar in your tea.
why did the Ki-61 do that?
Proooobably because grinding is horrible and getting a single kill while dying is better than getting no kills flying around for 20 minutes
Stealth belt ( air + armored target belt ) is the best choice for dealing much damage to light and armored planes. However, itself is hard to aim without tracer for newbies or those who don't believe in their aiming skills.
Air target belt is excellent to deal with fighters, it has lot HEF to set them on fire as well as damaging their engines. To the heavier armored fighters like twin-engine ones or Bombers, you have to watse a ton of ammunition to take them down. Moreover, HEF depends on the angle of your shot, not great to fire at they 6 or the front.
Lately, i've found the second best belt for the hispano which is armored one. Why? HEF in MK II or in MK V is the worst ammo in the game, i believe. It gives only hit when firing at the enemy's 6 or front, even can't do much damage to bombers or twin-engine fighters. However, AP deals significant damages to everyone, destroys the enemy's flap, wing, rudder even the pilot and set them on fire with a short burst.
Universal is good but still watse alot of ammunition in a short brust.
Try it out, you'll see the power of the hispano. All for the queen :D
the AM6 and AM7 series planes will clap spitfires tho
I can’t say I don’t want this plane
Hey spit flyer would these energy retaining strats for other Spitfire models like the MK2s and so on?
Can you do f mk ix vs a6m? Thanksssss
That flew
you say, you need altitude in the spitfire...a plane that is made to reverse boom and zoom fighters...
i mean, of course, altitude is always nice, and you got a plane that can climb...
but what are you gona do with a plane that can not really turn?
the ta 152c3 for example...
yes, it can roll, but if the enemy just does not roll with you, he can still get you, because you cant turn and yeah you can climb and you have energy retention, but there ate so many planes that can climb better and handle high speeds better...
Can you play the g56?
Try out the Ro 57 Quadriarma. It has 2 garbage guns (Hispanos 404 and Breda 50cal), it likes to be slow and bleeds speed like its free.
It also has an amazing Combat flaps turn rate, a beautifull BR (2.7), and for some reason i preform better on that thing that i do on a P-51 (Or most american planes)
Also try out the King Cobra. 3.7 or 4.0 it dont matter.
7,92 mm is mainly German. British have 7.7 mm ammo.
Spitty, Do you really think its worth running stealth belts on these 20mm only versions? If you ran the belts containing occasional tracers it would probably significantly increase the time to kill and reduce ammo used even if the uni, ground, and air belts are technically less effective.
I'm pretty surprised the 264 didn't open fire with the top 20mm's too...
man, the bf109 looks weird in this vid
Most elegant and beautiful, prop plane ever built. Without question.
I'd say a G55 looks better
@@juanordonezgalban2278 Good one. G55 is also a beautiful plane.
It no longer has 4 20mm hispano cannons.
Wait the 9c is in game???
Plss play the c 202EC, it is realy fun to fly with its 2 MG 151's.
What do you think of f104 in 10.0? Wtf am I supposed to do against Mig21bis???
do the griffon spitfire F Mk 24.
In an uptier you're good.
In a downtier you're the hand of God in Spitfire form.
Wish I had one!
Do the mk 22 or 24
Spitfire mk Vc?
Yaks have the same ammo count but wayyy higher rate of fire
