Choice of ammunition is essential as AP and ball rounds rely on kinetic energy to cause damage, which is lost quickly in small calibre rounds.Although many high scoring pilots reduced this, close to 137 m (150 yards) or less for an accurate kill, others ignored convergence altogether or went to a box-shot where paired guns were set to different convergences. RAF recommended convergence in 1939 was 365 m (400 yards) in contrast to the Luftwaffe, with experience from the Spanish Civil War, using 200 m (which the RAF adopted by mid-1940).The red canvas wing-port covering kept the gun clean and warm later marks also ducted hot air from the engine to regulate the gun's breech temperature. This worked well at lower altitudes but caused icing at high altitude. The design used an open bolt mechanism to allow air to flow through the barrel and prevent overheating.The accurate placing of the shot was essential, as it lacked sufficient energy to cause structural damage. However, it required an average 4,500 rounds to disable an enemy aircraft, of which 250 rounds needed to hit (i.e. 50 as it was lighter, had a higher rate of fire and was less susceptible to jamming. 303 was a rifle round, accurate but fairly ineffective in air combat unless in skilled hands. Muzzle velocity 810 m/s (2,660 feet/second).153 rounds per second total output (1150 rpm x 8 / 60).8 x 7.7 mm Browning machine guns, wing-mounted (350 rpg = 2,800 total).Above this altitude, engine power and manoeuvrability suffer. In general, the Spitfire performs best at low and medium altitudes: below 4,500 m.
Roll rate is good at low speeds, but suffers about ~300 km/h. It also possesses a very quick turning ability, although in some situations this can mean that manoeuvring energy retention is worse than one might expect. The plane has a decently high wing-rip speed, which should not come into play in controlled dives. The Spitfire Mk Ia has an excellent climb rate and a high top speed of 460 km/h when flying in a straight line. The red, white, blue fin flap exists on the tail vertical stabilizer. On the wings, the Type B roundels are painted with a simple blue outer ring and a red centre. The Spitfire Mk Ia possess the Royal Air Force Type A.1 roundel on the fuselage with a yellow outer ring, followed by blue, white, and then a red centre. Its default paint coat consists of a green and tan two-tone colouring, with a white undercoat. 303 machine guns per wing for a total of eight machine guns. The wing on the Spitfire is a Type A, which contained four. The Spitfire is distinctive with its sleek and thin elliptical wing design, a characteristic seen in most future Spitfire variants. The Spitfire Mk Ia is one of the first monoplane fighter designs in the British tree, alongside the Hurricanes.
