The spit 2a should have a Merlin XII which ran at 9 lbs/ sq.in without boost cut-out. I believe that no plane would be fitted with a boost indicator that even doesn't show the nominal max boost. Currently the clock only shows 8 with boost cut-out. Also you have to have boost cut-out to exceed 6.2 lbs /sq.in
I think this is a bit strange. I think our Spit 2a is no Spit 2a but a Spit 1a with small modifications. |

(Although I don't really see much point in the 87 octane set up except maybe for Hurricanes in France during the phoney war period). |

The facts are out there, despite the disinformation you post, and it is clear 100 octane was in predominant use, with 100% of the sector airfields in No. 10, 11 and 12 Group, showing clear use of 100 octane during the battle. It is also very clear the two pitch De Havilland props in the Spitfire I were upgraded to constant speed in early July. In addition, all new Spitfires, (which were 50% of the aircraft on strength by September) coming off the production lines had constant speed props. The facts have been shown on posts on this board, you have provided ZERO proof to the contrary. By the way, the Spit 1A in the game is modelled graphically with a CSP Rotol prop, as historically it was, who knows why Luthier suddenly reversed the Flight Model. Who knows what false information was directed his way. Last edited by *Buzzsaw*; 04-09-2011 at 08:51 PM. |

However, it doesn't even have the performance of a historical BoB Spit Ia at +12. |

So far the indications are that the MkIs are not modelled correctly and the CSP is broken on the MkIa, they both underperform quite badly. The 109E is also performing well below its actual real performance. It seems there is a lot of work required on getting the FMs and performance fixed on most aircraft. |

I tried to fly the Spit MKI with full CEM. If you give enough throttle to climb a little the oil temperature goeas above 90 and your engine dies. Incredible...

I'm wondering if the 'Early' Mk1 is just exactly that, early (Pre June '40). More of a Battle of France Spitfire, 2 speed De Hav and 87 octane. That would make more sense. Here's an interesting pont. The first Modified (ie the cannons worked) Mk IB into action in the BoB was R6889, 19 Sqn . It was, to quote Spitfire, The History "Not an outstanding sucess, it was underpowered, even with the Merlin III and had to be flown at maximum power just to keep up with the browning armed Spitfires" |
