Background:The Spitfire Mk X|V was the first allied aircraft to shoot down a German jet-powered Me262.This fact alone highlights the phenomenal development of the Spitfire airframe.Powered by the Rolls-Royce Griffon engine rather than the legendary Merlin,to which its reputation had been built upon,the Mk X|V entered service in January 1944.Seen as a stopgap version,it could nonetheless outperform the FW190 in all aspects except for rate of roll.The Mk X|V achieved great success intercepting V-I flying bombs in the defence of the UK homeland.

Dmut и Hedgehog:
Во-первых не надо здесь флудить. Во-вторых советую перечитать правилa этого раздела. И наконец в четвертых если упорство победит благоразумие отдохнете пару дней от форума.

Если не понятен 4й пункт поясню система попаданий временно заменена на систему временного бана.

И еще для Hedgehog поводу "Calm down, little boy". Really fearsome pilots don't make such comments.


P.S. Насколько я понимаю люди вы здесь не новые, а поэтому знаете что обычно прощается только то что делается по не знанию. В вашем случае это пренепбережния к правилам форума и не уважение к его модераторaм любые последующие действия в этом направление будут вести к отягощающим последствиям.
