Campaign for Spit IX?

[Youtch]

Is there any campaign out there for Spitfire IX?

 

I have been looking through the usual spreadsheet listing all campaign and then with a search in google (the IL2 forum is very hard to search with its tool), and I didn t manage to find any.

 

I thought all planes had at least one campaign, official or non-official.

 

It would be a surprise with Spit IV being such an iconic plane that she does not have any.

 

There are quite a lot with Spit Vb, but it is another beast, and IMHO not so pleasant for dogfight being soooo limited in ammo.

We have not gotten to the point yet where the community has created at least 1 offline campaign for each plane in the sim. The new planes can't be released with campaigns already written for them because the people that write the campaigns don't have them yet. The Spitfire Vb has been around longer in the game than the Spitfire IX, so it has had more material written for it.

 

The historical context of the Spitfire IX is currently limited to the British 2nd Air Force ground attack squadrons in late '44 and early '45 in the Netherlands. No one has written that campaign yet, but BlackSix did one for the Tempest in the same time period and attack role. I started writing a campaign for the Spit IX in that time frame, but didn't finish it because it basically duplicated BlackSix's work.

 

I would imagine it will become a popular subject for some campaigns when the Battle of Normandy map comes out, and we can put it into it's famous role as the great FW 190 equalizer.
