Spitfire Mk. V ? I would understand the Mk. IX, Mk. VIII, Mk. XIV or Mk. XVIII.

But the Mk. V ? It was outclassed by the Focke-Wulf 190 ! (That's why they produced the Mk. IX.)

All of the planes I've listed were outclassed by some other. But these are my favourites.

Maestro, like toffi says, I reckon this is a "favorite plane" list, not a "I think this is the best plane" list... You can't really argue with people's choices...

But I like yours... wish I had room for the Tempest in my list

Toffi must be awefully sentimental. Those are some pretty old planes on his list (even by 1945 standards).

i think we should limit choices to just one mark of any chosen plane, that way more variety can be put in, agreed??

Yeah, but that also limits the number of planes you can choose. I think limiting that to just 5 is hard enough already.

That is true. I want the Mustang III on there as well or the P-47N but being only 5 I had to give way. So we'll keep any mark, or all marks available.

How does that free up space? Saying (for example)
1. Spit XIV
2. Spit IX

takes up more space than saying
1. Spit (any mark)

that's what i mean, if you say

1) spitfire (any mark)

insted of

1) spitfire XIV
2) spitfire IV

then you have an extra space for another plane...............

Just let them have the choice. They might not want another plane, and need to use up the five slots.

1-Spitfire Mk. I
2-Mk. IIb
3-Mk.IV (First Griffon engined Spitfire)
4-Mk. XIVe
5-Mk.XVIIIc

That isn't my proper one. The other one is.

No. The Mk. IV was an experimental Spitfire with the Griffon engine.
