This will be correct only for a limited period of time, until Autamn 1944.
First two squadron of Spitfire Mk XIV was assigned to 2nd TAF in April 1944 (91 and 322).
Both squadron from 6 till 18 June took part in Overlord as beachhead top covers.
Yes, from 18 June all of them were transferred to ADGB for anti-diver patrol duty.
But from September 1944 Mark XIV squadrons began to enter the 2TAF in increasing numbers.
First of them was 130 Sq at B.70 Antwerp/Deurn (30 September 1944, first combat sortie three days later).
In October 1944 just first small batch of Bf.109K-4 began reach active service units in Reich Defense . Four Squadron of 2TAF flying Mark XIV at this time.
Alfred Price wrote "From then (October 1944) until the end of war the Spitfire XIV was the main high altitude air superiority fighter operated by 2nd Tactical Air Force in northern Europe."
On the eve of 1945 as much as one third of 2TAF Spitfire's were Mark XIV.
Let's take a look at Bodenplatte OIB.
2TAF:
83 Group: 6 Mark XIV Squadrons and 8 Mark IX/XVI Sq.
84 Group: 2 Mark XIV Squadrons and 12 Mark IX/XVI Sq.
In December 1944 Luftwaffe have a 13 Gruppe with K-4, but here is little point in counting every single Luftwaffe Gruppe with K-4, because almost all of them has been mix of G-14 (and G-6 in some cases), G-10 and K-4, so I start counting every single K-4.
167 Bf.109K-4 at evening of 31 December 1944 in frontline units.
It’s an absolutely the same numbers as for Mark XIV in 2 TAF on continent.
So, if you looking for historically correct allied fighter for fall 1944 and first five months of 1945 – one and only right timeframe for K-4 and D-9 – a worthy opponent for Dora and Kurfurst, who flew and fight in adequate numbers, for Western front it may be only Spitfire Mk XIV.
And Mark XIV may be perfectly fit to both DCS WWII map. First RAF squadron to receive the Spitfire Mk XIV was 610 Sq, which was re-equipped in Jan-February 1944.
Of course, it's just a dream
