Finding themselves unable to give chase to the newest German fighters of 1942, Spitfire pilots demanded a redesign that adopted the larger Griffon engine. The increased slipstream from the big five-bladed propeller was balanced by an enlarged tail. Roll was improved with wing clipping, and the very first gyro gunsight units were installed.

This is much better than my gunsight, wish I could've seen this earlier
I like the sight
Thanks for the nerd stats!
I Really don't know what to say.
I Appreciate a beautiful spitfire so much.
She looks beautiful!
Very, very nice! Awesome gunsight too!
Lead computing gunsight...! (Pick up jaw from floor...). I really, really wish I could Spotlight you, but you have far exceeded my skill level (and my total points).
What does it do?
Closest to actual flight sim quality I have seen on SP. Simply wonderful!
AI version?
Awesome plane! this is quite accurate!
