An odd little machine with the best of many worlds.
The Supermarine Spitfire F Mk. XVI is the only non-premium clipped-wing Spitfire in War Thunder. Powered by a Merlin engine but with an armament matching the later Griffons, the Mk. XVI bridges the gap between the mid-tier Mk. IX and the Griffon-powered superprops at 5.7 and above. The clipped wings of the Mk. XVI give it unique handling characteristics that let it stand out from its elliptical-winged cousins. Trading turn rate for better roll and dive performance, the Mk. XVI feels like a step toward certain Axis fighters such as the G-55 and Bf.109. With its combination of speed and agility, this machine is a powerful adversary at BR 5.0, and takes the crown for my personal favourite Spitfire.
Also, I'm starting to like the Ixwa Strike gun sounds... Sue me.
