To be fair... the vast majority of Spitfire models in the list are armament and wing changes and nothing else.
If we make an actual list:
- Spitfire V
- Spitfire VIII
- Spitfire IX
- Seafire III
If we make a slightly more detailed list:
- Spitfire V
- Spitfire V Tropical
- Spitfire VIII
- Spitfire IX Early (the F.IX models)
- Spitfire IX Late (the LF.IX models and the high boost)
- Seafire III
Then it's just a matter of clipped, not clipped, B, C, E type armament, and some engine changes.
Everything else listed is because the game doesn't handle the extreme sub variations very well.
The IL-2 models by and large are actual distinct model differences with some sub variants. The only one on there with distinct armament differences would be the Type 3 and Type 3M.
Spitfires are not yet as well represented across the entire line as Bf109s are while the IL-2 is extremely well represented minus the important all metal design of the very late 1944 series which is definitely missing although slightly made up for by the inclusion of the extremely rare IL-10.
Not to start an argument but I think it's silly to just count plane spots on something like a Spitfire which really is only represented by some of the aircrafts lineage.
