The Seafire Mk.XV was the last variant to see operational service in WW2. Powered by a 1,850 hp hp RR Griffon driving a four blade prop the Mk.XV was a high performance machine, but keeping if not exacerbating the takeoff and landing challenges of earlier Seafire variants. Had the RN encountered an IJN CBG fielding A6M5 or A6M8 Zeros, how do they do? The latter only saw a few prototypes, but given its more powerful engine it's worth comparing.
