General informations Flight performance The vehicle is agile and fast on level flight. The maneuverability is surprising, and even better with the use of flaps, making it possible to fight dogs with most of the twin-engine fighters and, with skills and situational advantages, even a few single-engine planes. Be careful not to drain your speed as you fight against enemies. If played conservatively, this plane can be a tenacious opponent, especially when it has an altitude advantage as it allows the Whirlwind P.9 to dive, shoot and then escape from enemies all with the same energy. In this way a pilot can take advantage of the great speed of Whirlwind P.9 to minimize the enemy's chances of getting a successful hit. Packed with large 2 layers of armor (both 9mm) in front of the pilot, covering the 20mm cannons and the engine. Bulletproof glass (60mm) will also be useful for frontal attacks or when hunting the turret to defend planes. The Whirlwind P.9 has a vulnerable tail as the elevator and ailerons will generally be blown away if the enemy ignites you from behind or wins from the front. So you should avoid being caught off guard as it will most likely end your flight skills. The P.9 Whirlwind is armed with: 4 20 mm Hispano Mk.I cannons, mounted on the nose (121 rpg = 484 total) The four cannons make the Whirlwind P.9 well armed for head-on collisions or the Boom and Zoom tactics, as the four nose-mounted cannons will tear everything to pieces, especially with the target belt on the ground thanks to its AP ammunition. Although gun convergence is a personal choice, it is suggested to set gun convergence of cannons mounted on the nose at 600 m as the 4 cannons are aligned horizontally. This allows you to score big shots when diving into an enemy without approaching or too far. Just enough to align with the flight path of the targets and release a click. If you are engaged in dog fights with them, keep this distance in mind. Use in battles Whirlwind P.9 should b
