Sorry for the long wait!
The Spitfires are a awesome planes, but are a bit of a mixed bag sometimes.
--(PLEASE TAKE MY OPINIONS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT)--
In general, the Spitfires have great maneuverability and responsiveness, but consistently suffer from overheating (at least up to the Mk IIb), and the armament isn't necessarily the best, especially since you don't get much ammo to play with until the F Mk IX.
Overall, they are easy to fly, would totally recommend, but they do have their flaws, like getting BnZ'd to death, the overheating, and the ammo (and guns) issue. Also, be careful when dogfighting Japanese planes since they are more maneuverable than your (most of the time), so try to energy fight or BnZ them. The same applies for Italian fighters as well, but not to the same extent.
The Mk Ia and Mk IIa are your quintessential Battle of Britain teeaboo fantasies.
It has decent climb, good turn, good flight characteristics overall, but has a questionable armament of eight 7.7mm machine guns, which are okay but in my experience, you need a lot of trigger discipline and gun time in order to kill things. Not the greatest combination. Not to mention, the overheating is horrendous, so you gotta manage your radiators and throttle usage. Overall, would still recommend flying (but fly the Mk II, its got better engine performance at the same BR).
I would personally skip the Mk IIb.
It has the same overheating issues as the Mk IIa, gets outclimbed, not a lot of cannon ammo (60 rounds per gun. 240 total), and the belts aren't the Hispano Mk II belts, so they are slightly worse. Instead, I'd go for at least the Mk Vb, because it has improved guns, better flight performance, and the overheating issue is noticeably better. If you want to go a little further, skip the "Mk IIb" and "Mk V" and go straight for the "F Mk IX". It's wayyy better than the "Mk IIb" in basically every way since its got a better engine, better cooling, better guns, and twice as much ammo (120 rounds per gun. 240 total). Granted, the BR is a little higher.
The LF Mk IX is where it's at.
It's the Spacefire everyone raves about. It outclimbs basically most fighters, its turn is pretty good, but be wary when dogfighting Japanese and Italian planes. Its armament is a substantial improvement from the F Mk IX with its cannons getting slightly more ammo (135 rounds per gun, 270 in total) and replacing the four 7.7s with two 12.7 caliber machine guns. It's a great low altitude fighter, but you should still definitely climb in order to gain air superiority first (Performance at 5000-6000m is pretty good). Overall, you play this thing more as an energy fighter since its monstrous engine just pulls energy out of nowhere and you'd have the altitude advantage in your first engagement most of the time (provided that you've unlocked all the engine mods and 150 octane fuel).
Yes. I know I skipped a few spitfires like the Mk Vc and Mk XVI, but I didn't want to take the time to spade those planes. I have been playing the F Mk XIVe though. It's a beautiful plane (not that I'm saying the previous Spitfires weren't beautiful already) with excellent flight characteristics and decent armament. I've been having some fun with it, and maybe I'll even do the Mk 24. I also might cover the Seafires since I like the sound of the Hispano Mk Vs and its sexy bubble canopy.

As for future videos, the Ki-61 and Yak 1 are guaranteed to come out eventually, as well as the A7M2 and other Russian planes like the Yak-3 (maybe). I've also started playing the American tech tree and have become interested in doing videos on the P-38, P-51, and F4U, so maybe in a few years, I'll get those released XD.

ARMAMENT SETTINGS:
I use "Air Targets" for the 20 cannons and "Universal" for the 7.7 MGs, and "Ground Targets" for the 12.7s. As for gun convergence, I have it set for around 500m

Spit is very good plane, except guns in wings and O V E R H E A T E D OIL
The Mk1 hispanos I have more trouble with heating
MkI-II only. 33% radiator fixes any issues on MKV onward
The Hispanos are either glorified 50 cal or hit like a truck and love to send planes on fire. Or destroy wings.
What are the best belts for spitfire, aside stealth?
@@200Carltracer, probably. Due to it only being incendiary.
Ah yes, the Spitfire. One of the oldest primary WW2 fighters, second only to Bf.109 from 1935.
The Spitfire might not be the fastest or the most agile, nor does it have the strongest armament, but it just feels *right* to fly. Handles like a lady and works like a charm.
Probably one of my favourite fighters overall, I don't pick a single favourite, but rather 1 per nation. And Spitfire is sure as hell one of them.
Edit: 2:41 is a beautiful showcase of what I mean, it just works. I have 2 videos of similar mood, "Spitfire in a dogfight" being my personal favourite.
And yes, I have 3 "favourite"s in 2 and a half sentences, what about that?
If you get a few mates together and use them in formations, taking out targets in pairs you can seriously mess up the enemy team
We’ve had a few games where we’ve just about all managed to get in formation when our entire team has gone and died in the first few minutes with the four of us left to deal with the entire enemy team and while we’ve never brought a game back we’ve always mopped up a damn good number of the enemy by the time it’s over, it doesn’t help the enemy when they all boom and zoom from 9000ft while we stick to a service ceiling of 6000ft but usually never go higher than 4000ft meaning that most of them would break apart (and that has killed a few when they’ve tried getting us) and the ones that do get through will inevitably get picked off in unlucky positioning by our pairs, or they won’t be able to pull up in time depending on the map
@@NemuKamiart honestly though, a single proper Spitfire pilot is often enough
But flying with a squad makes every plane stronger, spit included
Polikarpov I-16 was older than a Spitfire
@@Rodri_man544 with all due respect to I-16 as a rather revolutionary design, it was already outdated by 1939, and thus being replaced in 1941 (for example, 16 GIAP was rearming from I-16s to MiG-3s in early june 1941).
And after there was enough Yaks, LaGGs/Las and/or MiGs, I-16s were switched from.
Bf 109 and Spitfire are the oldest designs to have made it through the whole war while remaining effective
Well in staying the whole war i agree with you
Love me Spitfire. Simple as.
I finally aquired the Russian Spitfire Mk IXc. Now I have all of them.
The israeli spit too?

This is actually one of the most well-edited videos I've ever watched
Thank you for this masterpiece
Ah FINNALY! My beloved Spits! I love you!
This video just shows how powerful this plane is. Thounsands kills, few deaths, winning 4 v 1, winning all dogfights, even Zero should be afraid of turnfighting with that monster. I am not afraid of saying that this plane won the war.
4:54 this part actually scared me ngl
Also a small note on your description review: if you're having problems with italians, use more vertical maneuvers (at least loops) to drain them of their energy.
While close in high-speed turning, italians suffer significantly from worse handling at low speeds. And on the opposite, that's one of spitfire's trump cards, so you'll get a far easier shot at any italian plane that lost its energy.
And I don't think another comment will be bad for the algorithm gods
This aircraft will always be my favorite fighter of all time. My great-granddad was one of the few Indian Spitfire pilots who fought in WW2, and later in the 1947 Indo-Pak war. He flew the FR.XIVE fighter recon and the pretty rare PR.XI photo recon. The sound of the engine, the elliptical wings, just everything about her is beautiful.
Probably one of my favourite vids you made so far! The music choice is amazing!!!! Especially paired with a beautiful such as the Spitfires!!!
Absolute beauty of a plane (in my opinion ofc), absolute masterpiece of a song (AC7 ost is very gud imo), and last but not least, an absolute banger of a vid.
AC6...
This deserves more views, amazing work and editting!
Spitfire in VR is gon be wild
Rest in Piece Queen Elizabeth
No greater joy than watching a Spit pilot shit their flightsuit when you get behind them in a Zero.
A7M works wonders too, and you can actually climb with them. Pre-nerf Ki-43-III also worked great, not anymore since they took 300hp away from it.
This is beautiful the intro and the translation into the ace combat 6 soundtrack was just amazing brings back memories that game
As someone with epilepsy, thank you for the warning!
1:43 IS THAT A HERENY STICKMAN REFRENCE?
These videos deserve more views. I can't help but be in the mood to fly these planes in war thunder as soon as I finish watching the videos. Keep up the good work and looking forward to your future vids!
That 1v4 air dogfight was so epic!!!
What a fine job~
How dump you have to be to dogfight a spitfire?
There are 3 simple rules of fighting a spitfire:
-Do not engage in a turn-fight
-DO NOT ENGAGE IN A TURN-FIGHT!!!
-Do not engage in a turn-fight when you have lower energy state!
A6M Zero and Nakajima planes: "Am I a joke to you...."
@@snwilliam6886 Rule 3
@@givemeyourproperty7993 oh yeah my bad lol
I dont follow any of that, i just kill em spits, they useless(in WT that is)
*Smiles in Japanese turnfighter*
This. This video got me into ace combat
4:44 and just like that I've fallen into project wingman rabbithole
This re motivated me so much to edit my narwal gun video, Epic video man, especially how you clipped turn fights, and the music was perfectly choosen
2:40 The most seamless transition i've ever seen, DAMN
Why dont people play the spit, its literally the ultimate plane
It climbs as much as a 109
Turns really good, only beat by japanese planes
Only cons is that it doesnt outrun american planes, wep is limited and the guns are kinda strange
About speed. Try 115% mixture bellow 1000m and 120 at 500m. MK V easily go 550kmh and turn with constant 300kmh at those setting.
The low level speed really help it carry against japanese plane as you at least have speed advantage to get the drop on them and out run before they try to swarm you. Also where F Mk IX only reach 1550 hp at max set MK V Reach 1750 HP bellow 1000 m alt. Also the flaps on MKV are somehow stronger being able to resist up to 350kmh where as mk ix just rip above 270kmh
@@Errorcutive the only bad thing about the spit is that the engire goes on fire after 5 seconds of wep
Id say it was the repair cost but they've been kinda fixed now, switching to a rank and BR based system, repair costs are still high, but not as high as before. I think the main reason is because Britain just isnt interesting to the general playerbase, and most newer players who play see all the 109s winning and switch to that, just my best guess, and the speed thing, outrunning American planes is kinda negated by the altitude advantage you gain from climbing, and the guns are alright now too when its not stock.
@@Fllippa00 most of it is just players not playing the plane at the correct optimal altitude, like every match.
@@davidecarucci1073 93% Radiator, that thing won't heat like it's liquid nitrogen
Very, very well made video! I love the quality and music. Keep up the good work.
1:43 that’s one of the most Bold actions I ever seen
Low tier brittish aircraft is just tickling your enemy with 7.7
Laugh in higher chance to cockpit snipe. At 300m 7.7 bust engine and fuel tanks easy.
From my experience, the 7.7 mm guns are too good for their size. They shred almost everything at its tier.
Fly for assists. Its tempting to use your maneuverability to park on an enemy tail and pour in enough fire to get the kill: dont do it. (Unless you're in a 1 on 1 of course. Then definitely do it)
Get quick hits, and stay agile, putting a burst into anything that presents itself.
Or, abuse your insane climb rate, and swoop in and out of furballs at will; picking off anything that is on a teammate's tail and is distracted.
OMG the AC6 nostalgia kicks in.
The maker of this video is a GOD
guy put his knowledge of after effects and premiere to the maximum in this one, nicely done bruv
P-51 and P-40 Warhawk hold a special place in my heart, as they were the first planes I got over 4 kills in (also my grandfather flew a P-40). But Spitfire is a very close second behind the tied favorite.
Although I'm an American, no airplane fills me with so much giddy joy to look at as a Supermarine Spitfire. If Reginald Mitchell was told his creation would still be dazzling aviation lovers to this day, he'd probably think you were crazy.
Lovely video!
You know it's a vehicle Arcturus genuinely really likes when the videos go from schizo meme posts to open love letters like this
That intro was unbelivably amazing. And the Spitfire was the legend in its time.
Man, This edit IS HELLA HYPE
One of the best sights in this game by far is watching a shitfire go down in flames.
5:03
Yeah I had to do it xD, anyway, oustanding montage and edition, your videos are incredible.
what i love about the spit is that the moment a you bring the fight onto your terms you've won. the moment the fight slows down and goes one circle, against almost any aircraft, the spitfire wins.
I love the quality over quantity style you got there. I like all of your vids
1:43 Ahhh..... the nostalgia
This video makes me happy on multiple levels
Badass intro: check
amazing edit: check
plays this godforsaken game: check
you my friend have earned a sub and a like
I personally believe that the best Spit Fire is the Mk IIb. I can consistently drop 4 to 6 kill games in it
My favourite spitfires are the Vc/trop and the LF mk 9. The Vc because of the 4 20 mm guns that pack a wallop and the underdog effect plus people tend to underestimate you, and the LF mk 9 because is one the the best pre griffon spit. It's decently fast climbs like a monster and the armament is just right.
LF mk9 is a ufo, that thing is retarded to fly and fight
This gives me the drive to not give up on the spitfires
i love your content so much. it motivates me to play war thunder again each time
❤❤❤
Not a bad little kite.
Yoooo thats frickin hitman 3 prez from project wingman
Prez included= Good Video
I would watch it even if i had epilepsy this is soooo good
Your edits are getting better and better dude great job!
Thanks dude!
Brilliant luv it
goddamn the music made me felt like im playing gran turismo again
Imo the Spitfires are the most beautiful planes in the game. Absolutely dazzling
Ive gotten my first spitfire, and holy GOD, its AMAZING!
When a Japanese pilot gets so mad he starts speaking Korean 😂
Luv the edit man, keep it up! 💪

Alright, time to play Britain in war thunder
This is so underrated
Now this hit me in the feels I got goosebumps
The most beautiful aircraft of WWII
I really liked this video lol, I found it when I was looking for an idea to make an edit about Spitfire 4.7 so I think I found what I needed hahaha thanks
one day i will be like you
this is extremely well made
Damn, this video is beautiful
Amazing aircraft, great video!
dude i dont even like war thunder anymore but this shit is slick as fuck
Will there be Griff-Fire montage, including the coaxial prop Seafire FR.47?
From Spacefire Mk Ia to Space Shuttle Griffon.
might as well do project wingman video at this point?
Dance with the brittons!
holy funcken shitten this is so good
The arc of war has come for another unique video
Also me : bring dkart96 here, bring dkart96 to this video!
there are three 3 names for a spitfire when fighting one
- fuck that
- what the hell
- well fuck me than
To effectively survive an encounter against a spitfire is to boom and zoom in any aircraft you're in or if you're in a plane with jacked climbing rate like most of the German fighters you can out climb spitfires
Reality: enemy spitfires already in the ozone layer
@@Adrirenn true lol but spitfires are heavily reliant on energy fighting if you're higher than a spitfire boom and zoom they won't have enough energy to climb towards you
@@nooriginalusername8052 if you're both energy fighters but one of you can do a turn in 50% the time you need to, its already decided when the other gonna die
@@Adrirenn started using the spitfires and oh boy I absolutely disintegrate the opposition especially with the spitfire mk Vc I usually let the enemy pilot bleed any energy they have and launch the 20 mm teabags and watch them fall as a ball of fire the most reasons I die is due to other pilots suprise attacking me,doing head on or just facing the Japanese planes
cant wait to tell my son about this.
She's a beauty.
top tier editing as per usall
please make a part two for griffons and maybe seafires
Awesome, cool.

I feel like, hands down, the spitfire is overall the best series of propeller fighter aircraft in the game PERIOD.

1 word "gaijined" 😂
Tea-treated wing spars.

*-A6M have join the chat*
*-Spritfire have left the chat*
Just take fight to the floor and then put Spit into an upward cork, A6M's energy all gone and stalled out.
Epic video, subscribed
Pretty sure this thing is also considered a "Jet Killer" due to it's latest model in the game being in the jet tiers.
As a F4U player i think that theres no need to humiliate that f4 he only had to option head on or dive to get energy and escape, but he tried to dogfight a plane that the entire design is to dogfight. the entire doctrine of the F4U is to countermeasure the dogfight and just do Boom and zoom, and you can tell this just for the format of the wings, when i see a inexperienced player just use the 7.7mm machine guns for some extreme saltyness. for me the spitfire is one of the most easily plane to play. i once took a 3 minute dogfight with a donkey, you dont need to overheat by climbing. by the way put the hipanos on steath ammo and try to snipe instead of spreying, they allways gonna think that you are some hacker
I didn't want to humiliate the dude, I just wanted to put my Yandere WSO Waifu in the video. And also, I like using tracer ammo because I want the enemy to know they're going to die :D
Edit: I also play the F4U, so I understand what you mean, and I wasn't able to aim during that section
10/10 video because of prez
I like more the FW 190, but the spit works very well so i feel respect for it, Nice edit You have My like.
