Main articles: Hispano Mk.II (20 mm), Browning (7.7 mm)

The Spitfire Mk IXc (USSR) is armed with:

  • 2 x 20 mm Hispano Mk.II cannons, wing-mounted (120 rpg = 240 total)
  • 4 x 7.7 mm Browning machine guns, wing-mounted (350 rpg = 1,400 total)

Usage in battles

Like most Spitfires, the Spitfire Mk IXc (USSR)'s strength lies in its rate of climb and turn rate.

Generally use the 20 minute charge in Air Realistic Battles, since the engine usually consumes enough when using the emergency power. Climb at between 20 and 25 degrees.

The biggest threats you will have will be other Spitfires, which there will be many considering that a possible opponent nation the Spitfire Mk IXc (USSR) can fight is Great Britain, as well as premium variants in America and Israel tech tree (though the latter also has two normal versions as well). Another nation to be cautious around is Japan, which have fighters like the Ki-84, N1K, and J2M that could take on a Spitfire pilot.

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
