If the XIV model is to be done full justice then it would be:

F.XIVc
F.XIVc Clipped
F.XIVe
F.XIVe Clipped
F.XIVe Bubble Canopy
F.XIVe Bubble Canopy and Clipped

I think there were some power changes involved there too so perhaps the bubble canopy one would be more representative of a March/April 1945 machine while the XIVc would be the mid 1944 and the XIVe would be late 1944. Without introducing ridiculous numbers of variants.

More French Aircraft anyway including we lack French bombers. Also I would like to see Early 109s and other aircraft involved in the spanish civil war

+ gyrogunsight added to all Spitfires from mid 1944. It is shame that only P-51D-20NA has it while brits were the first who used it. Here in Mk.IX :

Yes that's another nice thing to have. I was wondering about a Mark XVI with gyro gunsight and rocket rails. Otherwise, same performance and appearance to a +16lb LF.IX although there were some reports that the Merlin 266 was, in practice, not quite as capable as the Merlin 66.

While were thinking about aircraft... more Beaufighter variants would be fun to have. We already have a solid base with the Australian Mark 21. A Mark X maybe? I guess the radar install would be difficult.

Or a Mosquito bomber. Pretty widely used aircraft in both cases that would be useful in a variety of settings and scenarios.

Hurricane Mk IID; we also have a solid base already
Not to mention B-25C/D/J solid-nosed strafer. Or a Ju 88C-6...

How's another funny..
When the AI goes in for the kill, how about letting them just go straight in and shoot, instead of doing all these fancy aerobatics behind the target and generally letting it get away

It's as if the AI want to play with it's food. Sitting there as wingman I watch this in disbelief.. eventually losing my cool and pushing the rest of the flight out of the way and plastering the target to tiny pieces.
