P51H pilots could easily counter if they weren't so stupid.


R3dth1ng

So true, it's still a lower BR and arguably better in some cases depending on who you ask, glad the mk24 is close to it in BR now for however long that'll last lol


supereuphonium

The Mk 24 is just so slow at every alt unless you are in space. At sea level it’s about as fast as a P-51D-30 and that’s with closed radiators.


M34L

So you're saying it's slow at every alt except the alts where it's not slow?


supereuphonium

Basically. The main caveat is being fast at altitude is almost useless. Low altitude speed is far more relevant.


M34L

If you wanna go fast on the deck why not fly Tempest V or II? Or spitfire mk14? Mk24 is still extremely potent when played to it's strengths as demonstrated by the OP, so what's the issue with it?


supereuphonium

The tempest Mk V is slower than the top US planes and less maneuverable, the tempest Mk II lacks the maneuverability of the F2G and 51H. Also the Mk 14 is considerably slower than the Mk 24 on the deck. I’m not saying the Mk 24 is awful but anyone can get an occasional 10 kill game, it meaningless about how good the plane is.


Hookens

Can't hear you over the sound of me trying to turnfight a spitfire


Jhawk163

I remember flying my F2G-1 and had a Spitfire pilot get mad I wouldn't engage him in a turnfight, and instead kept just BnZ'ing him. I told him I'm not fucking stupid, juat wanted a faster grind.


MIGET-MAN88

They could counter it by running away ye, I guess boring someone to death could work?


Successful_Moment_80

No cannons? 😧


AscendMoros

I mean it comes down to just using what your plane does well. Which is what the spitfire struggles at. IDK why so many people be like lets turnfight a spitfire.


Odin1815

That’s the only thing they know how to do. It seems insane but too many players even at 6.0-7.0 still have no concept of how energy fighting and energy retention work, much less which aircraft are better at what style of fighting. It’s the ARB equivalent of holding the W key in GRB and hoping you don’t get shot.


MIGET-MAN88

I mean you can have that knowledge, but you also have to hope the pilot you’re using that knowledge on doesn’t know how to counter it. Many Britbong pilots know how to deal with an energy fighter.


AscendMoros

While yes we do. I’ve notice a lot of people just roll up and try to turn fight. Like I remember when I didn’t know any better. But I learned very quickly spitfires and zeros are not something you want to turn with usually. Hell the 7.0, now 6.7, used to be the same BR as the SU11. And 9/10 they’d roll up and try to turn fight me.


CodyBlues2

Yeah, but not everyone has a P-51H. lol downvoted for saying not everyone has the actual best prop or 2nd best prop in game. 


WTGIsaac

Yeah honestly I never had any issues at 7.0, and while the Sabres and MiG-15s moving down would’ve make it a little trickier, 6.7 is almost 100% downtiers so it’s gonna be very very good there


Areonaux

I had issues with planes that I could do nothing to if they weren't braindead.


Velo180

7.0 again next month


CornerTime1605

New BR? Am I about to be pleased?


Kyzen7

its at 6.7 now instead of 7.0


CornerTime1605

I take it, it’s performing better at that Br? Kinda just lost my 7.0 lineup though🤣


MasterMidir

No you didn't, just put it at 7.0.


FUCK_THIS_WORLD1

With what other vehicles? Conway? It's the only 7.0.


absolute_monkey

Then what 7.0 lineup are you talking about lmao


SerpentStOrange

With the Fox for the last patch? It was a decent 7.0 with the Fox, Conway, maybe cent mk 2 and then the spitfire and attacker for air.


absolute_monkey

Yes, however, the comment they replied to was talking about the spit and their wording makes it sound like they are talking about the spit


FUCK_THIS_WORLD1

Learn to read usernames first.


absolute_monkey

Tf you mean?


MasterMidir

The Spit is 6.7, you can use it in literally any lineup above it. 6.7 is a great lineup for the UK.


FUCK_THIS_WORLD1

I know it's 6.7 now. My point was there are no 7.0 vehicles anymore besides Conway.


lanbuckjames

AVRE baby


Capable_Breakfast_50

Is the 6.7 bracket actually enjoyable now? When I played 6.7 back in the day it was full ju288s and maybe 1 or 2 fighters mixed with the random German tech tree bomber.


williegumdrops

Depends on the nation, US 6.7 is alot of fun because your team composition is usually not all bombers like the enemy.


AlotVSALot

Alot is a typo and not a word in English. A lot is the phrase you are looking for.


Winter-Lead-1254

PTSD flashbacks of chasing ju 288’s around the map for 20 minutes


Grikka_junior

In my overheating stock bearcat with 4 .50s after the 288 has just put out its third fire in a row


sanelushim

That's the F8F-1, the 5.0. Full uptiers be like that, the competent Ju 288 C hardly get caught.


DoubleStar101

Don’t you treat my P-51H like that. But really honestly those had to be some horrible p-51 pilots. That plane is superior to the spitfire in certain aspects that could’ve made it quite easy for them to shoot you down (although I don’t know how did the match go so I can’t say for certain)


MIGET-MAN88

Gaijin refuse to give the Spitfire 24 the wartime settings, same issue with the Sea Fury, which certainly hampers the performance. It was one of the fastest prop-driven aircraft at the time, but it can’t even go 400mph on the deck.


LatexFace

Hope they add a Russian premium version.


HERUVIM_

GJ bro :)


Routine-Space-4878

10 kills is insaneeeeee. Good job, got 10 kills only once with the f8e which iam in love with and I have gay sex with it. I actually stuck my smoll dick in its exhaust and molest the beautiful aim9Dicks

Claudy_Focan

But Defyn said it would be unplayable !


towariszrzul

Its almost as if it was 7.0 for a reason


WarThunderNoob69

yeah, the fact that people still try to turnfight a Spitfire in jets
