-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was a British WWII carrier based fighter based on [[Spitfire Mk Vc|Spitfire Mk. Vc]], it was first version of navalized Spitfire that featured manually folding wings, allowing for easier storage and accomodating of more of the fighters in the hangar bay and on the deck of an aircraft carrier. More powerful engine was also installed, namely Merlin 55 for the F MK III or Merlin 55M for L Mk III. Slim Aero-Vee air filter and six stack ejector type exhausts were fitted onto the plane aswell. Mk. III was the most produced variant of a Seafire with 1220 built. 870 by Westland and 350 by Cunliffe Owen. In 1947, 12 of the Seafire Mk. IIIs were stripped of the naval equipment such as arresting hooks and handed over to the Irish Air Corps.

-The Seafire was introduced into War Thunder in [[Update "Winged Lions"]]. The Seafire shares main flight characteristics with his brother, the Spitfire Mk. Vc which it was developed from. Armed with pair of Hispano Mk. II 20 mm cannons with 120 rpg and four 7,7 mm Browning machine guns with 350 rpg all mounted in wing. The climb rate and speed of the Mk. III is subpar when compared to its contemporary enemies such as Bf 109 G-6 or Fw-190 A-5. One of the few advantages sporting against these planes is the superb manoeuverability of the Seafire coupled with a great energy retention during manoeuvers. Effectively it could also be called "jack of all trades, but master of none"

 <!-- ''Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).'' -->
-The Seafire LF Mk.III should be played as a turnfighter with a good climb rate. Use the plane's good climb rate to get to around 4,000 m and attack low-flying or otherwise disadvantaged opponents. Attacking bombers is not recommended, as you have little ammunition and your offensive armament is not powerful enough to take out bombers before their defensive armament takes you out. Conserve your energy so you can stay maneuverable: it is recommended to build up speed in a straight line after reaching altitude.
