Spitfire MK.IXe questions

[Witzig]

I'm not used to wing armament so was wondering what everyone sets their convergence range at. Default is 150. Lastly, one of the modifications is the Merlin 70 engine. Can anyone tell me why kind of speed boost it provides.

Thanks.

Merlin 70 has different supercharger gearing. Brit folk can probably be more specific. In general slightly better at high alt so I stick w/66. Data for bird shows the diff speeds at specific altitudes.

I use 230m conversion as that is ~ 250 yards as was typically standard historically. Completely personal preference.

Ok thanks. By 66 you mean the Merlin 66 correct. Sorry, I'm at work otherwise I would boot up the game and find out for myself. I will use your conversion too. Thanks.

Fysa the data is all available here, much easier to read than in game

Thanks buddy! Do you fly the Spit?

On occasion. Wouldn't claim to be particularly good with it.
