When the Spitfire has the initiative in the engagement and has successfully manoeuvred onto a six-o-clock aspect, it is nearly impossible for the enemy to regain the advantage. The basic strategy that many Spitfire pilots use is a tactic whereby they bait head-ons from enemy aircraft, before evading, and turning around to put shots into the target at close range while the enemy is pulling away. Generally, the best convergence range for a Spitfire is 300 metres, since the plane fights best at close-range. The lower-calibre machine guns may be fired independently of the cannons in order to range the enemy and determine the necessary lead.Įxperienced Spitfire Mk Vb pilots use close convergence ranges. With such a low ammo count, the cannons should be used sparingly, and at close range. ![]() 303s with 350 rounds per gun and two Hispano Mk.II cannons with 60 rounds per gun. The Spitfire Mk Vb/trop is armed with two pairs of British. However, the newer, more powerful, and heavier engine and airframe means that the aircraft cannot turn as tightly or as fast as its predecessors. In addition, it does not lose speed too quickly in a turn and thanks to outstanding acceleration from the Merlin-45, the aircraft easily accelerates after pulling high-G turns that initially bled large amounts of speed. The Spitfire Mk Vb has outstanding energy retention and easily gains speed in a dive and retains it after pulling out into more level flight. However, once all engine upgrades have been acquired the Merlin-45 is easily a superior engine with better cooling and power, blessing this variant of the Spitfire with better energy retention, better energy retention and better cooling than the Mk I and II Spitfires. When the plane is not fully upgraded, the Spitfire Mk Vb's Merlin-45 engine has less power than the Merlin-XII engine of the Spitfire Mk IIb. The Spitfire Mk Vb is a well-rounded fighter that can turn excellently. Like most Spitfires, the Spitfire Mk Vb is meant to be used as a pure aerial superiority fighter, while fighter-bomber duties are relegated to other aircraft, such as the Beaufighter series. In addition, the aircraft cannot carry any bombs or other air-to-ground ordnance. It cannot fulfil any ground attack duties due to its low ammunition count and the absence of any heavy machine guns which can penetrate a tank's thin roof armour. The Spitfire Mk Vb fills the role of an aerial superiority fighter in the British tier III lineup. 303 machine guns, wing-mounted (350 rpg = 1,400 total) ![]() 2 x 20 mm Hispano Mk.II cannons, wing-mounted (60 rpg = 120 total).Main articles: Hispano Mk.II (20 mm), Browning. Its control surfaces are large which means it has considerable control even at higher speeds. Its wings can sustain a lot of stress, keeping still at steep dives and tight turns. The Mk V variants of the Spitfire series do not have the upgraded Merlin 61 engine, but instead the Merlin 45 and thus may have poorer performance compared to the Spitfire F Mk IX. ![]()
