Yes, very much so. But if what they say is true and 186 E-7s with 601N engine were present in the Channel area in the last month of the BoB (October), then it should be in the game, too.

My comparsion to the Mk.Ib was only ironical as with 30 made examples, I believed this is pretty much comparable to couple of dozens of German E-7 that actually took part in the battle in September / October. If it was more, I take it back.

As for Ib - not important, but I remember reading about the unsuccesful trials and frustration of the pilots when the cannons malfunctioned. The Squad Leader demanded MG Spitfires back to much unliking of his 'boss' at MoD, and the Squadron got them back eventually - but they were not new Mk.IIs but beaten up Mk.Is with old de Havilland propellers (not sure about names and details I am afraid)
