Country:  | Spitfire Mk. XIV. You know you shouldn't really put the Spitfire marks in the same slot, all Spitfires were different from one another.

Country: | I suppose the list would be stupidly long if you started putting each variant.

Country: | Well, the Mustang was comparable to the Spitfire. As I always said, prefering one to an other is a question of personnal taste. | |

Country: | No it wasn't. The Spitfire was a better dogfighter than the Mustang. The Mustang had a range advantage over the Spitfire, that's all.

| In my opinion the Ki-84 Frank by the Japs is better than the spit in almost every single thing exept speed(climb rate, armament, range, manuvability) but i do not think that anybodyhere notice that | |

Country: | The Spitfire Mk. XIV was better than the Ki-84. Going back a bit, the Mk. VIII Spitfires in Burma slaughtered Zeros on a 8:1 kill ratio. All the Ki-84 had was manuverability, and the Spitfire could hang with it, outclimb, outdive and out do it in speed.
