Looks like you were so good they are now moving it to 7.0 We finally reached such high levels of compression that prop fighters will play against AAM-equipped jets (This Spitfire, 7.0, vs the German premium Sea Hawk Mk.100, 8.0)
It would be facing jets with early heat seeking missiles which means those jets probably would not be able to lock on to the spitfire mk.24 since its engine is in the front and doesn’t give off as much heat as a jet engine. To get a lock you’d have to be super close making it easy for the spitfire mk.24 to dodge.

Honestly I find the Mk 24 to be more fun fighting jets than fighting props. Prop fights tend to get kind of same-y since there are so few things that can really compete with you, but with jets the situation can change so rapidly even in a 1v1 that you have to constantly adapt your tactics. It's also surprisingly doable given the performance difference, honestly the hardest part is knowing how much you need to lead a given target, since jet speeds can get kind of deceptive sometimes.
@@AdamTheEnginerd I’m referencing a lyric from a song called say something by Justin Timberlake ft. Chris Stapleton. What I’m actually trying to say is that you’re the only good YT pilot who doesn’t talk in his videos. I learn a lot more from your videos because I’m not distracted by your voice. I can just watch and read and learn. Another great video Ads!
have No idea why Spit Mk24 go 7.0.lol anyway I always quit when 7.7battle and I play 6.7/7.0battle that's why I got a decent Kd and I recommend every Spit players follow me so that we enjoy this beauty .
it still baffles me how many jets are willing to turnfight and try to get low and slow with the best spitfire in the game. Enjoy these slightly more sensible matchups, before the thing goes to 7.0...probably due to the ridiculously high quantity of early jet pilots who somehow play through 4 ranks of props only to forget what props are good at. Aaaand i see they still haven't fixed that red square bug either :P
Whats the best nation for planes in your opinion? It could be the easiest to use, or the one you have had most success with. I am really indecisive and I swap inbetween nations, but I want to commit to one. Any thoughts?
Best to learn is likely UK, since their planes are a mix of everything. That's what I recommend when I teach new players the game. I don't recommend committing to one nation though, I'd go through the 4-5 main nations relatively evenly so that you learn the strengths and weaknesses of what you're up against.
The truth is MK24 still competitive only against stupid jet players. U´ll need a lot of defensive skills, a good team and moron enemies to do something in a full uptier match now. F2G´s, P51-H´s, Tempests and even K4´s are faster planes with lower br´s, so i think MK24 at 7.0 is another Gaijin´s great mistake.
i think a lot of this has to do with the fact that there are a lot more American players, so when they complain (even if the P51H-5 is pretty comparable to the Spitfire Mk 24), then Gaijin listens more. With the F2G-1, it should probably be like 6.3 or 6.7, but there are so many dumbass wallet warriors who don't know what they're doing with it. The tempest Mk II going down to 6.0 was stupid. Its an amazing plane that should be 6.3, but who knows.
@@AdamTheEnginerd I'd recommend the mkVc/tropical spitfire.

I’ve played war thunder for 6 months now on my PlayStation and I’m barely going through rank 3 with 2 planes unlocked. Yesterday I bought the spitfire mark ix, and I have been losing dogfights against most enemy players due to bad aim. Do you have any tips in how I can do better?
I'd stick to tier 2-3 longer to learn the basics, and spread out to the other 4-5 main nations to learn their strengths and weaknesses. Also it's harder on console to do well than on PC.
Why is this 6.7 (and the comments say itll soon be 7.0)? Every time I see it in a 6.3 match it gets easily shot down from 50 cals and faster airplanes? Does it climb better than say hornet mk iii /p51h/f2gs?
That bug is a fan favourite. You can change the zoom and then it gets fixed. It's been like that since like forever, but since Gaijin doesn't play their own game...
Can I recommend playing the Typhoon mk1b/L again 3 years on from your last video? I'm really enjoying it, sideclimb at 280kph IAS, switch supercharger gear at 2700, radiator to 40% and it never overheats. Really fast in a shallow dive too and turns great.
This is how majority of zeros are going to be once they get up Br'ed and the only advantage they're going to have is the ability to turn they wont be able to catch any planes in the upcoming br changes
Nice video Adam, always been kinda interested in late-war Spits, but I'm too lazy to get that far in the Bri'ish tree lol. Also, that A21 around 3:12 was most likely slow because it's probably one of the worst early jets when it comes to speed. It can easily rip in a straight line when spaded and has a lower top speed/rips earlier than your Spitfire lmao. It's not a terrible plane, but I just stick to the SK60, even with the nerfs.
Yeah I graduated already, doing a Masters at the moment. Engineering is among the toughest degrees, but if you're motivated, work hard and are organized you'll be fine.
just a quick tip for any su-11s you meet: disengage. by the way, su-11s are su-9s with a better and stronger wing structure and new, much better engines their acceleration is *so fast* and energy retention is *so good* that turnfights won't work. head ons will not work. they have 2x 23mm cannons and 1x 37mm cannon. trying to outrun them = death. they acceleration is one of the best at the br. I have outran many planes before. It's achilles heel: against good players - nothing. disengage against average players - try to make him overshoot (without dying) and use that small window of opportunity to kill him against bad players - mommys credit card won't save them lol just try and outturn them because they'll most likely engage flaps, 0% throttle etc etc
Adam my mentor, may you do a video on the up to date video on P47N? Im good in the D variants but the N variant is really weird to me. Maybe the worse elevator authority? Doubt that's what's throwing me off though cause I use the Dora 13 all the time. Just something to think about. If you don't want to make a video then could you just tell me what you think here when you get the time? Also great video as always man keep it up!
I’ve had that problem with the square not being accurate and I’ve found that the location of it changes if you zoom in on the map, although I haven’t played in a few months so maybe this bug is different
What's up with props being better then jets at altitude? Shouldn't jet engines have much less power loss with altitude then even two stage two speed supercharged piston engines?
Good question! Piston engines with superchargers actually see an increase in power with altitude, at least until they start losing manifold pressure and need to switch gears. Basically props have their performance throttled at low altitude, while jets have their max power at low altitude. So as altitude increases, jets' performance reduces and props stays relatively constant. Another point to mention is that IAS reduces as altitude increases, and props handle better than jets at lower IAS.
@@AdamTheEnginerd oh, so it's the throttling losses at very low altitude I was not considering, probably I was thinking of a way different altitude range then you were talking about...

Can I recommend playing the Typhoon mk1b/L again 3 years on from your last video? I'm really enjoying it, sideclimb at 280kph IAS, switch supercharger gear at 2700, radiator to 40% and it never overheats. Really fast in a shallow dive too and turns great.
Yup it's on my list!
Nice gameplay my dud! Unfortunately I've stopped playing war thunder cus of new graphics and pc performance issues, heh
Thanks! WT doesn't require much to run though.
The mk22 it's almost the same as the mk24 just without octane fuel right?
Handling yeah, but octane makes a significant difference in performance.
Thank you, for answering yesterday got the mk22 and was looking how to play it :D
@@taquito_de_agua with 6.7 it not worth it
Old FM of Mk. 22 and Mk. 24 was much better.
Yup.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Back in time around 2015 and 2016 were all Spitfires from Griffon family very strong. Something like P-51 H in my opinion.
Can u do a video on the p47 d22re; I kinda struggle with it; it’s not really that fast in my experience… or do one on the p51 d5 pls
Both are on my list!
This is how majority of zeros are going to be once they get up Br'ed and the only advantage they're going to have is the ability to turn they wont be able to catch any planes in the upcoming br changes
Yeah I disagree with that change.
Zoom into the map when you're not sure the square is saying the truth. Works for me, it suddenly switches to another square when you zoom in.
Yeah I learned that from this video's comments, thanks.
Nice video Adam, always been kinda interested in late-war Spits, but I'm too lazy to get that far in the Bri'ish tree lol.
Also, that A21 around 3:12 was most likely slow because it's probably one of the worst early jets when it comes to speed. It can easily rip in a straight line when spaded and has a lower top speed/rips earlier than your Spitfire lmao. It's not a terrible plane, but I just stick to the SK60, even with the nerfs.
Well he's faster than me and yet I was faster than him and he wasn't fighting anyone.
Yo, make another video of italian 5.3 bf 109. See if its still good high end 109s
I made a video comparing all the high tier 109s, it's basically a G10.
The only reason to play this Spitfire in current matchmaker is it's gorgeous looks. 😭
Lmao +0.3 BR for looks.
Keep up the good work, always excited to see more videos!
Thanks! Will do!
There is nothing, Repeat Nothing so sweet in War Thunder than bringing down a Jet with the Spit 24!
Hmm it's up there yeah.
I Was the La-200 in Dacii clan and my friend with f-80.It was a nice game
Good game!
Hey Adam! You're an aeronautical engineer, right? I'm still on my first year and I dunno what to expect, is it hard?
Yeah I graduated already, doing a Masters at the moment. Engineering is among the toughest degrees, but if you're motivated, work hard and are organized you'll be fine.
@@AdamTheEnginerd THANKS!
@@AdamTheEnginerd what are you planning to do after the masters degree?
@@AdamTheEnginerd I'm doing aeronautical aswell nice, my first year too
3:05 it's because it's a damn a21, he can't do anything against a spit
Well his top speed is way higher.
@@AdamTheEnginerd it rips at something like 660 km/h iirc
I don't think so, it's faster than that at sea level.
How the snail buffed the shvak and hispanos? cant see in the changelog tho...
I don't think it was the most recent patch. But I'm not current with patch notes anymore.
Ehueheuheu only the OG viewers of this video can define visible confusion. Hehe
Lmao yes.
I killed the A21R on headon with this machine (and I did not full commit headon)
Good.
I enjoy my 109 turning speed alot till this mk la suddenly show up in the map and in like 1km away
Haha relatable.
Perhaps
Perhaps.
Good SA and marksmanship create this 5 kills game.
gg Adam
Good game!
just a quick tip for any su-11s you meet: disengage.
by the way, su-11s are su-9s with a better and stronger wing structure and new, much better engines
their acceleration is *so fast* and energy retention is *so good* that turnfights won't work.
head ons will not work. they have 2x 23mm cannons and 1x 37mm cannon.
trying to outrun them = death. they acceleration is one of the best at the br. I have outran many planes before.
It's achilles heel:
against good players - nothing. disengage
against average players - try to make him overshoot (without dying) and use that small window of opportunity to kill him
against bad players - mommys credit card won't save them lol just try and outturn them because they'll most likely engage flaps, 0% throttle etc etc
Didn't know, thanks.
@@AdamTheEnginerd :D repond
Adam my mentor, may you do a video on the up to date video on P47N? Im good in the D variants but the N variant is really weird to me. Maybe the worse elevator authority? Doubt that's what's throwing me off though cause I use the Dora 13 all the time. Just something to think about. If you don't want to make a video then could you just tell me what you think here when you get the time? Also great video as always man keep it up!
It's the worse climb of the N most likely. It's on my list! But the D28 is much better than the N, no need to force yourself to fly the N.
@@AdamTheEnginerd thanks man! Exactly what I was wondering.
Comment made for Adam's reply for algorithm purposes
A man with purpose, thank you.
8:11 that looked and sounded brutal
Confusion of the highest order!
Thanks for watching!
Hahaha :).
I’ve had that problem with the square not being accurate and I’ve found that the location of it changes if you zoom in on the map, although I haven’t played in a few months so maybe this bug is different
Yeah learned that from the comments in the video.
What's up with props being better then jets at altitude? Shouldn't jet engines have much less power loss with altitude then even two stage two speed supercharged piston engines?
Good question! Piston engines with superchargers actually see an increase in power with altitude, at least until they start losing manifold pressure and need to switch gears. Basically props have their performance throttled at low altitude, while jets have their max power at low altitude. So as altitude increases, jets' performance reduces and props stays relatively constant. Another point to mention is that IAS reduces as altitude increases, and props handle better than jets at lower IAS.
@@AdamTheEnginerd oh, so it's the throttling losses at very low altitude I was not considering, probably I was thinking of a way different altitude range then you were talking about...
I've also encountered that grid square bug.
Not my first time either.
I think there's a little lag in the highlighted grid square for one person left, and maybe some innacuracy in plane position reporting as well.
There is lag, but the grid lit up when the enemy was never there. Apparently zooming in on the map fixes the bug.
@@AdamTheEnginerd good to know thanks
Spitfire vs La-200, ultimate balance
Haha yup.
Confusion of the highest order XD watching this when it came out I was genuinely confused XD still a great video on the spitty thank you again Adam now I wait patiently for a Yak-23 video usu
Hahaha that was a funny event.
Thanks!
How do you get that statistical overlay on the left?
Overlay: forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/483838-warthunder-real-time-information/
Wow I had no idea this thing faced LA-200’s that’s absolutely absurd.
Yeah, and it's going up.
do u recommend rb at low br?
Yeah, not below tier 2 though.
@@AdamTheEnginerd thx great vid!
Nice video as always, btw can you try and play both me163's would be nice to see. Thanks
Thanks!
Eh I'm staying away from jets that aren't starter jets for now though.
@@AdamTheEnginerd that's totally understandable especially nowadays where jet gameplay above 7.0 is a mess
A prop against swept wing jets! What a time to be alive.
Lol yup.
so you're the reason this thing is going 7.0 haha
Haha nahh.
How much XP and SL did you do in this mathc??
The usual for a 25 min match with 5 kills.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Let me check
Ahhh yes, I haven't had a 25 min 5 kill game xd
Is there a way to make those extra indicators work on fullscreen instead of fullscreen windowed mode? Im getting alot of stutters bcos of the fullscreen windowed mode config just to be able to use those extra indicators.
There is a way, you need to have an additional program and it's more complicated, so I've never done it. I haven't noticed a change in performance in fullscreen window myself.
@@AdamTheEnginerd whats the program? Where can i get it or download it?
@@allenjay896 That I don't know. Years ago someone showed it to me, but I don't have the link for it. You can maybe google search for a program to overlay another program over a fullscreen application.
Using this plane on lower br is like living the dream
Yeah max downtier is nice.
Mk.24: will go to 7.0 soon.
P-51H: haha my club stick go ham.
What a joke.
Club stick go ham?
@@AdamTheEnginerd Oh, i mean P51 H is 6.3 right? and that thing will out perform every prop driven aircraft, if play it right is basically untouchable. Even mk24 and p51 h is sit at the 6.3 br i would still pick p 51h, it's just a better plane overalls imo.
@@Zelectrocutica it has 10 min wep, I have no problems killing it everytime in ta152h or yak 3u neither the mk24
Would love to see more high BR prop planes go up against jets
As in videos of that, or in game?
@@AdamTheEnginerd oh in game
If the spitfire had more ammo maybe they could justify it being 7.0
Spreadsheet balancing strikes again
It will.
this bug exist for like 3 versions
It's been a while yes.
Spitfire Mk24 players be like : noooo I’ve got too high br I am so slow 😭😭😭😭
Cannon Chaika overly uptiered : hold my vodka
Excellent!
Thanks!
this thing FACES LA200?!?!?!
Yeah haha, and about to go up in BR too.
Been waiting on this plane
Not the only one.
Confusion of the highest order
Thanks for watching!
Haha!
Yeah that grid bug is there for some time now. I usually try to look into other grids but as you have 8 to choose from it can get pretty annoying. 👀
Apparently zooming in fixes the bug.
