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!

I just finished playing this plane yesterday, oh well it wouldn't of changed much to the actual game play.
will this spitfire feature an opening cockpit?
I like getting new models for planes , but i'm not sure how I should react to this rare/prototype/fantasy/abomination that is that "mkIX(b)". I guess disgust and hatred will do for now
Can we please make sure the tail flash is correct on this model? On British aircraft, red goes at the front on BOTH sides.
And there she is folks....After Being PWNED BY I16s COMES THE FINAL VERSION....THE LAST STAND.....THE...(WAIT FOR IT)..............LEGENDARY MKIX btw (mkixb iv flown just a few days ago in campaigns and its just like mkix sooo dont feel sad its just a bit more faster than the current also its no different then the teir 4 mkixve)
Also question to the devs....Why are you not making the combat flaps? and also without the combat flaps the spitfire lacks ablility to go aginst japan ? please do tell and also imporve the wingrip, this has been a big issue for over 9 months and im raging almost all the spitfires (after mk2b) wing rip over 600 please update
Nice!
After a littele search, the designation IXb really existed, but it was used mainly to describe one thing. The LF mk9c. There was not B wing in mk9s. Even the early conversions, about 100 planes...came from Vc, which as described it was a C wing config. The IXb was an unofficial name(used by ground stuff and pilots) for LF 9 (M66 engine), before it officially take the name LF mk9c. The -b didn't ever mean B-wing, it was more like 2d edition and it was because they changed engine (M61/63 to M66).
and my thing is, if you want to cover a rare variant...why you "invent" one? Go with MkVII or MKVIII or FR MK9 or HF mk9... you can't call them exactly "rare" , but they were different...and they actually existed.
More rarely seen are the suffixes A and B. These have caused some confusion, as these letters in earlier Spitfire marks define eight-gun and two drum-fed cannon and four machine gun armament configurations, respectively. It would seem that the designations IXA / IXB were used ad-hoc by the RAF units during the early part of the Mk. IX’s operational career, to distinguish the low-altitude-optimized Merlin 66-equipped LF IX (called Mk. IX B) from the initial Merlin 61/63/63a-equipped F IX (called
