This guide should probably be updated with the changes, and the other planes, now that the patch is out!

Be my guest ;). Haven't got the update yet (on XBOX), so I can't really help you there.

This guide should probably be compiled and submitted to GameFAQs :)

Great information! Thanks for your work. :)

great read this :) well done top effort :)

could someone please confirm for me if the spitfire mkxvi uses .50cal mgs or 7.7 mgs in the game. if they are 7.7 then it should have 4 instead of 2 and the only other armament variations this mk used were 4 20mm hispano cannons or 2 20mm hispano cannons and 2 .50cal mgs. never 2 7.7 mgs

spitfire xvi
 

The spitfire xvi uses .50 mg

i know it did in the war iam on about in the game

As I understand it they standardised wings for spitfires from Mk V onwards so the armament variations came with the wing. (Regardless of whether the wing tips were clipped)

Original wings had one 20mm Hispano at the inner position and 2 .303 MGs in the machine gun bays (the outer MG stubs were not used and were filled in) so that's the only 2 cannon 4mg config I know (This is the C wing)

Later they changed it to 20mm Hispano in the outer position and fitted 1 .50cal Browning MG instead of the 2 .303 MGs (2 cannon 2 mg) An XVIe should have this config.(E wing)

The first ever XVI MJ556 had the C wing fitted. However the vast majority of XVI's were fitted with the E wing (nearly all of them) Some IX's were converted to this too.

What does the game say an XVI has?

it has .50 cal. mg in the game
