Well it should be slightly faster as the mkxvi in the game is obviously (bubble canopy) a much later built plane than mk ix in the game. This mk xvi would also have the packard version of the Merlin 66 engine, the mk ix only having the Merlin 61 with a couple of hundred less hp. With the XVI's clipped wings it should roll quicker than the IX at low altitude, but take the XVI higher up and the handling performance will drop.
