Spitfire makes only 300 mph?

The facts are out there, despite the disinformation you post, and it is clear 100 octane was in predominant use, with 100% of the sector airfields in No. 10, 11 and 12 Group, showing clear use of 100 octane during the battle.

It is also very clear the two pitch De Havilland props in the Spitfire I were upgraded to constant speed in early July. In addition, all new Spitfires, (which were 50% of the aircraft on strength by September) coming off the production lines had constant speed props.

The facts have been shown on posts on this board, you have provided ZERO proof to the contrary.

By the way, the Spit 1A in the game is modelled graphically with a CSP Rotol prop, as historically it was, who knows why Luthier suddenly reversed the Flight Model. Who knows what false information was directed his way.

The graphics model is of a Spit II. It has the six exhaust stubs per side instead of three, and there are other elements.

Good posts. Two minor quibbles though; I've seen late June into early July for DH conversions (earlier for Rotol) and what photos I have of Spitfire IIs shows 3 exhaust stubs per side. Nice photo attached of a No. 19 Squadron Spitfire II at Fowlmere during September 1940.
