General info
Flight Performance
Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.

Survivability and armour
- 38 mm Bulletproof glass in front of the pilot
- 3 mm Steel plate on top of fuel tanks
- 4 mm Steel plate on pilot's seat. Behind pilot is another 6-7 mm steel plate
- 3 mm Steel plates around ammunition
- Critical components located at the front of aircraft (fuel, pilot, engine, controls)
- Liquid cooling system at the wing root
Armaments
Offensive armament
The Spitfire F Mk IXc is armed with:
- 4 x 20 mm Hispano Mk.II cannon, wing-mounted (120 rpg = 480 total)
Suspended armament
The Spitfire F Mk IXc can be outfitted with the following ordinance:
- Without load
- 1 x G.P. 250 lb Mk.IV bomb
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in an aircraft, the features of using vehicles in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Significantly increased firepower compared to the regular Spitfire F. Mk IX at a minimal performance cost
- Ammunition pool boost to 120 rounds per gun compared to the 60 rounds of predecessors
- Good low altitude performance
- Highly manoeuvrable and excellent roll rate
- Good climb rate
- Very good at Boom and Zoom
- Engine (fuel injected) will not shut off performing a quick Negative G manoeuvre unlike the Spitfires before it (RB/SB)
Cons:
- Poor acceleration and rate of climb at high altitude
- Heavy recoil when firing, although can be negated by tap firing
- Mediocre energy retention in sharp turns
- Only one flap setting (landing), and the ripping speed is really low
- Ammunition pool is easy to burn out without trigger discipline
- Hispanos overheat and jam quickly
- Light airframe, which can't withstand a lot of punishment
- Suffers heavily from compression in steep dives
- A leak in the cooling system can cripple the engine in minutes
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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>
, as well as adding them at the end of the article. 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).
