Spitfire graphical shortcut

[dkwookie]

Don't know why I didn't spot this sooner but has anyone noticed the spitfire mk 16 uses the mk 9 model at mid distance? I was chasing a spit on cta the other day and it was a mk 9 until I got closer and I saw it visibly change to a mk 16. Looks like devs shortcutted on the model at mid to long distance. It was weird seeing the wing tips change shape on approach. Anyone spotted this with another fighter?
