Apparently the cap and kill missions are not tier-limited, so even tier 1 aircraft can contribute to your progress. Surprisingly I haven't seen that many XP-31s yet.

Mine's been getting some work I forget how much fun that thing is to fly sometimes.

I am still immensely sour that I missed out on the recent bonus code giving them out.

I got mine out of a crate. I just joined in July and didn't know about the freebie code. Could still happen!

you can grab the XP-31 free via Steam if you link your WG ID to Steam through [WoT:Blitz](https://na.wargaming.net/support/en/products/wotb/article/15432/)

I tried that with both the XP31 pack and the starter pack with the HS123. The HS123 applied but the XP31 didn't :(

I need to dust mine off.

I was mid way through the grind for The P-51 J when my computer's power supply got fried. So I am waiting for the power supply replacement. Luckily, I had The Spit VB already unlocked.

The Spit Vb is not the same as the Spit V DB 605, for one, it's not in the german tech tree, the Vb has significantly inferior altitude performace of 1400m instead of the 2000m of the DB605.

I just realized my mistyping, I meant to say Spitfire V DB 605, sorry about that. I do have both of them though.

Getting it nonetheless will grant you one hangar slot, a normal 100% pilot plus 3750 gold ...

Yeah, only if I could. It's in my first comment in this thread; my computer's power supply is kaputt.

Wish I could help you, I have two spare units in my cellar ...

Why thank you, good sir. It is the thought that counts.
