I have a question to “poll” the commitment to historical fidelity among us mostly red-aircraft flyers.

Would you embrace a modeled Spit 1b in the game, even if that flight model included the notorious and well documented frequent cannon jams?

I’m keen to hear the overall thoughts on this.

To be honest, the cannon armed Spit for BoB does not interest me at all as I believe it had little, if any, effect on the battle. Unlike other technology such as 100 Octane fuel which was ubiquitous and one of the fundamental elements to success in the air for the RAF, along with other elements such as the Rotal prop, radar and the associated "Dowding system" for coordinating and using intelligence on incoming enemy ac.

Proper representation of 100 Octane fuel and the "Dowding system" would be my priority. I am not sure that I would ever bother to choose to fly a cannon armed Spit for BoB.
