The Spitfire F Mk24 is the most powerful piston engine aircraft in the game with an inline V engine. I'm sure it has the highest power to weight ratio of any piston fighter in the game and in the world as well

quick feedback regarding me: Stock to spaded vids are the most entertaining , because when u are grinding something.. u can really relate to the performance.

Those Hispanos are absolutely ridiculous against low tier jets and high tier props alike...some of the best in the game.

This thing has sat in my 7.0/7.3 GRB as a means of air deterrent for ages. A shallow dive puts you above 500mph easily, combo that with peoples general lack of spacial awareness when playing CAS, you can just humiliate anything

I love your reviews Tankenstein!!!

Most Spitfire grinds in Warthunder are painful. You always lack insane amounts of HP when stock due to the rank 4 fuel unlock. BUT! Spaded Spitfires are goated. I especially enjoy the L MK IX at 4.3 which totally outperforms anything at its BR (except premium BS planes like the XP50). The MK 24 is also great. Nothing says BR compression like catching an AIM9 in a WW2 prop. Snail be snailing.

Good timing, just unlocked the 5.7 MK14e. Idk if I'll go higher, it looks like any jet player with half a brain can run trains on you all day every day.

Keep playing for a bit and get the LF MK IX. It's my favorite prop to play by far - It's basically a MK IX (i.e. really good) but with an engine that's about a third more powerful. The best part is that (once spaded) the climb rate is so ludicrous that you will be higher than everyone else 99% of the time. Legitimately the only problems I have with this plane are the "decent" speed (you won't be outrunning a bearcat or anything) and the "meh" guns (2x 20mm and 2x 50 cal - not amazing, but workable). 10/10 would spitfire again.

Dope video mister tankenman!

Thanks Tankenstein, I love this plane.

Thank you for being so real man, now I have a realistic idea of what my warthunder journey will feel like.

Quick tip: Use universal belt for the MkII. They are much better than the AA belt.

great vid

the mk24 is defently good at 7.0 because i often play the f8f at 7.0 and i actually do better against jets than props, so long as you climb all the can do to u is run

can you do the seafire fr 47? my favorite spitfire by far

7:21 Use ground belts for a big difference in damage Also, 10:01 Gajjin granted your wish

I remember facing those with early jets lmao

I think it's 6.7 now. Would be interesting to see an update vid on it

make a video about the merkava

you referred to the spitfire mk22 as the f-22 a couple times lol 10:10

Because it's called Spitfire F Mk 22.

so depressed it seems Gaijin will never add the Supermarine Spiteful or Seafang which are the ultimate forms of the Spitfire design. Also, i hope Gaijin adds the Spitfire MK8 that was used by the Australians

spitfire mk 22 is better with lower br and lighter weight, just doesnt get 150 octane fuel, i have no idea why

Ive just spaded it. It didnt take long. I was a little worried about being the only prop in jet matches. But people seem to want to turn fight me with jets... it didnt take long to spade for this reason. Also downtiers is almost like seal clubbing

The fair br for this is 6.3 i still get nightmares when this Monster was 5.7

best to take it to ground RB

This spitfire is certainly fun to play, but if you encounter a jet who knows what he is doing, you don't have a chance against it 1v1. They just won't allow you to turnfight or do the 700kmh dive. I feel like Spitfire MK22 is much more competitve in current state of the matchmaking. Also, the time you need to get to an actual battle is just unbearable. I usually take it 1-3 times during the play session and that's it. Also, the best belt for hispanos is either ground or stealth. Air belt is just utterly useless. Gaijin must give it hispanos V instead of II.

I haven't played in years and everytime I see War Thunder videos nowadays, I'm like "wtf is this matchmaking" or "Why are these planes in the same match". While the spit mk24 has always been up against jets, I still think superprops should be in their own BR group and early jets (1945-1950) in their own BR group. Their excuse used to be that there weren't enough players, but there are double (or even more) the amount of players as when I played. The first Me-262 should not see a Sabre A-5 and a G56 should not see a F-80.

this thing is amazing taking into ground battles to wack CAS players on the back of the head

I cant bring myself to spade this plane because of the shit matchmaker. Also like 2 months ago before i had this plane i was looking around for reviews on this plane only to find none so although you making this video now is bad timing for me, at least for other players they can now find this video in the future.

Uptier is where all fun is, tbh.

i kinda gave up on the british tech tree at some point and I never got to this one. I find that my favorite prop in the game is the italian Re 2005. It has similar maneuverability to the earlier spitfires. It has the 109 engine (i forget the name but it's great) it gets 3 mg 151's, one of which shoots through the propeller, and 2 italian 12.7 mgs. it's a unique combination of capabilities and it's just a joy to fly. Unfortunately it suffers due to being in the ju288 br bracket.

Prop’s should never see jets. But it’s just “ gaijin reasoning “

P-51H is better. Sure, it can't turn with Spit Mk24, but it doesn't need to. It's faster, climbs and accerates like a rocket, and nothing in the game with a prop can dive with it. Against the Spit, the P-51H picks when and where to fight and can disengage and dive away whenever it wants to, and the only way the Spit can keep up is to tear its own wings off. In a 1v1, unless the Spit driver is a lot better than me, I'm gonna win. The only reason why the Spit is at a higher BR is because so few War Thunder players actually know how to energy fight, and they're terrible with the P-51H, which is the ultimate prop energy fighter.

Anyone else think that the Spitfires have some of the most horrid energy retention in the game? I don't know how accurate it is to real life, but for such a high-performance aircraft the top speed and speed retention on these planes is unacceptable. It accelerates quickly but slows down past 600 kph on a straight line

If that’s at sea level, that seems about right. The Mk. 14’s top speed there is just under 600 and the Mk. 24 should be similar. At 7.5 km it should be much faster than that, though.

SK-60 will be your worse enemy in this bucket, SK have air strat and they really like to go for props first becuse you will be only one on altitude just like they are becuse of air start , and those 30mm HE on swedish guns are brutal for any prop. And dem do hispano do not like to kill jets aka spark like creasy on slightly highter ping. Fun aircraft this spit is but frustrating if enemy in jet know WTF he is dooing , aka you will be siting duck for experience and patient jet player , but WTF we can do gajzila know better what BR is good for this prop. By the whey did I say, I got dem talisman for this bucket from war bond loot box , I am not shure shell I be happy or depress with my luck 🥴
