-The clipped wing configuration for the Spitfire Mk IX was introduced the mid-late in the 1940s to increase maneuverability and better roll rate at lower altitudes and less lift. This was due to a shorter surface area, that generated less lift but was also more aerodynamic and less air was travelling aroundthe fuselage

-Introduced in [[Update "Winged Lions"]]. The Spitfire Mk IX (CW) has a very good handling and excellent agility, it may lack the ground ordinance common in other fighters such as the P-51s and FW-190s but offers some of the best acceleration, climb rate and agility for its BR. While not the fastest, it's good climb rate makes it capable of reaching high altitudes sooner than most planes, compared with it's agility, makes it a very deadly opponent when it has the speed or altitude advantage.

-<!-- ''Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.'' -->The performance of the spitfire is excellent as long as it has the speed. While it has good acceleration at low speeds, it losses speed faster than similar BR planes, which is normal since it has much better turn rate than other fighters. It also has very good climb rate to take good positioning at the start of the match. However it's engine is prone to overheating when WEP is used constantly.

-The Spitfire plays in a very aggressive role in most situations. While it is not the fastest or the highest in the match, it has the capabilities to win dogfights against most opponents. Common things to avoid are being stuck with less than 300KM/h since this fighter is specially sluggish at low speeds and always having an altitude advantage in most fights.

-Even though these are common things to worry about in most fighters, the Spitfire Mk IX CW losses speed very quickly, and thus precise shots are needed in dogfights, since prolonged fights would make you vulnerable to other enemy fighters in the area. The altitude is also very important, because the diving speed of the spitfire is not the best, and having altitude is always something good to regain speed when necessary or to attack unsuspected pilots in the middle of a fight

-Common strategies to use the Spitfire Mk IX CW are in a support or frontline role. In support roles climbing is the way to go, to intervene during the most important moments of the game and ensuring the safety of allied aircrafts fleeing the battlefield to repair, while also intercepting enemy aircrafts retreating to their airfield. As a frontline fighter sticking with your team is important, because the spitfire wont be capable to sustain prolonged dogfights having allies around you is important since they can distract other aircrafts that may attack you while in a fight.

-During late WW2 the Clipped Wing design was a common upgrade for the MK IX and MK XVI variants of the Spitfire. According to test flights by the Air Fighting Development Unit at RAF Duxford using the Spitfire Mk V, this configuration offered better speeds at altitudes below 10.000 ft and slightly better speeds around 25.000 ft. However it provided much better acceleration and agility overall. But for pilots this modification also meant a better view around the aircraft, because sometimes the large and wide wings of the Spitfire blocked incoming fighters or obstructed pilots vision during ground attacks.

-Being fitted to the Spitfire Mk V variants, the Clipped Wing was also given to the MK IX and MK XVI due to high altitude sorties being less and less common and ground attack missions where being prioritized due to the mediocre state of the Luftwaffe. These variants of the spitfire where sometimes modified in different nations such as Czechoslovakia, since it was a cheap modification that gave the Spitfire more years as a competent fighter in low altitudes and ground attack missions
