DonJosh Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Hello ED-guys, will we get an option beside the clipped wings for a bigger rudder? Late production series airframes, typically Mk. IXe and Mk. XVI, were often fitted with the larger, pointed Mk. VIII-type rudder. first pic/link is a russian IX with bigger rudder and clipped wings. https://forum.warthunder.com/uploads/monthly_2016_10/580723b88ce8e_SpitfireIXLFfromLendLeaseprogramme.jpg.72dd70c6588eeca2dead4254bc6057a7.jpg https://www.flyinglegends.com/medias/2014/11/Spitfire-Mk.-IX-Pic-1.jpg http://www.hyperscale.com/images/tamiya60319reviewbg_2.jpg regards josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporg Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 My guess would be, since it's an IXc model we got, we won't get the bigger rudder.

AndytotheD Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 The rudder could retro-fitted to the V-stab if I remember correctly. I don't know if this was done on the line for production IXcs or as a common field modification as the only LF IXc I have ever seen with a pointy tail was PT672 belonging the the RSAAF and then the SAAF. I'll try and dig up more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonJosh Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 My guess would be, since it's an IXc model we got, we won't get the bigger rudder. can you tell me where do you find that we got the IXc? On the DCS shopping page and here in the forum i can only read that we get a spitfire IX. so it can be any IX-version. So when it is ture what you tell me, then your answer make sense. And we forget the question about a bigger rudder :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongodriver Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 We know its a IXc because it has the C wing and has been heavily reference from the OFMC's MkIXc MH434. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jocko417 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Would be nice if ED could make a IXe out of the existing IXc, and add the broad chord rudder as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndytotheD Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 OK so here's what I found It could be retrofitted although this was done very rarely, typically as a repair. As a production fittinget it didn't really come about until mid-1944. I have found several pictures that can be confirmed as LF. IX by their tail numbers. One of them is definitely an IXc, though I have read that the others are also IXc as well.
