We’re continuing to improve our current vehicle models. Today we’ll tell you about some upgrades to the legendary Spitfire F Mk.IX.
The War Thunder studio doesn’t just work on new vehicle models, but also constantly improves already existing vehicles. Today we’ll tell you about an upgrade to the iconic early editions of the Spitfire F Mk.IX fighter. We have brought the fighter into line with real-life samples, and also fully reworked its 3D model – it now has 3.5 times more polygons! But first things first.

The legendary Spitfire F Mk.IX is a long-time resident in War Thunder. But time marches on and our requirements for models become more demanding. We regularly inform you about our work on improving the visuals of our vehicles; this is a significant part of the work of our large team of modelers and artists working on War Thunder. Today we present to you the updated Spitfire F Mk.IX!
This is an entirely new model, or more precisely two models (more about this below). The Spitfire, a favourite amongst players, has noticeably improved – the updated version has almost 3.5 times more polygons than before: more than 68,000 versus the old 19,500. Apart from the increased number of polygons, we’ve also fine-tuned several parts of the aircraft, for example the design of its bomb racks.

There should always be more of a good plane to love, so we decided to add the rarer Spitfire F Mk.IX(b) model to the already existing Spitfire F Mk.IX with its C-type wing. The only difference between them is that the B-type wing has guns that use a drum ammunition feed, providing the guns with 60 shells per barrel rather than the 120 provided by the C-type wing (visually, this difference will be shown in the additional fairings of the drums and the altered fume extractors of the guns. The location of the machine guns on the wing will also change).
On the other hand, the Spitfire F Mk.IX(b) will be equipped with the slightly more powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin 63 engine. This will most likely be either a premium or event vehicle. The machine gun armament will remain identical for both models of the Spitfire F Mk.IX – four Browning rifle-calibre machine guns. The Spitfire F Mk.IX(c) and Spitfire F Mk.IX(b) will be introduced in the next large update to come to War Thunder.

In a soon-to-come Developer Diary, we’ll tell you about our work on another version of the Mk.IX – the Spitfire LF Mk.IX.
Keep an eye on our news! See you soon!

Not very exciting. You should fix the things people hate about the game before adding more stuff. Im seeing more and more popular youtubers stop covering the game. This time even the Patch did NOT bump up player numbers.
Just for clarification, this new Spitfire F Mk IXc actually addresses around 5 bug reports that were created on the older F IX. So this is indeed fixing issues.
i'm waiting cleam spitfire9 so long time... its so cool
So they can make more models, but cant find time to make more cockpits for existing planes. What even?
Cockpits require significantly more time to research, design and create than aircraft models.
this better not be a worse flight model. i do not like games with developers ruining other nations stuff. any thing i find worse will result, unwanted in fighting.
Why always gaijin put premium vehicles instaed from research vehicles... i mean if it's in research this could attract more players than thinking of leaving this game and it could reduce the amount of complainers
Please read the dev blog again. One of the machines is indeed reseachable. It replaces the older F Mk IX with the new F Mk IXc which will be reseachable.
Also they need to think of the battle rating like MiG-9's and Meteors Mk 3 and Sea Meteor Mk 3 8.0? pls they need to think better so players cannot argue anymore and then more players can play whitout comply and leave this wonderful game and it is a lot of better than World of Warplanes and World of Tanks
Great news. The Mk9 is my favorite plane. Will the original skins still work on the new models? Will Gaijin release a psd file if not?
great just what the British need is another spitfire its like giving the Germans another bf-109.America needs some more p-51s and what about the p-40s that are supposed to be coming or even boats.
And Britain actually needs more then 5 native designs as premiums and at the moment there are no native designs as rare aircraft besides the Nimrod II. Germany got Fw 190 D-13, non tropical Bf 109's, He 112, Fw 189, He 219, etc. USA got XP-38, -50, -55, P-47M, P-51, XF5F etc. UK's only native designs as premiums is Gladiator mk II (copy), Spitfire mk IX (copy), 2 Griffon spits, and Wyvern. Rest of the aircraft are French, Australian, and American.I for one love UK is gonna get first event plane
Thank you gaijin, for forgetting Russian bias and actually recreating the most beautiful aircraft ever built. Will the FM change? brits, we re in something special here.......
You rather dedicate yourself to make a serious comment or you make a joke/ jest/ troll comment. You do not mix the two together because it makes your trolling feeble and makes your serious comment less noteworthy or worth the attention.
Please remodel the He-111 now, it REALLY needs it!
