<div>The Spitfires are a great tree for new player that like a fun World War 2 grind it doesn't take long and it is very fun! The Spitfires have great turning speeds being some of the the fastest turners only second to the Zeros. The Spitfire Mk Vc/trop was my favorite to play through my Spitfire grind. Most people go for the American tree but in my opinion the British are just better with the Spitfires being the best part. Some nations have premium Spitfires but i would not recommend because you can just play them for free in the British Tech Tree. The British Tech tree is very quick and easy to grind if you want to play early jets. I am not quite at jets only 2 planes away but i only have about 52 hours this is still a lot though. The Spitfires are a very good line to go for if you are new and want a fun World War 2 grind <br />
