Me 109?

[manintrees]

Does anyone know why they wouldn't have included the Me 109 in the lineup of planes?
From what I have read, the Messerschmitt 109 was quite abundant in the ETO and was a good performer.

There are multiple versions of the Bf109 in Birds of Prey, with the E, F, and G versions all being listed on the official website or visible in screenshots and probably the K version still to come.

I wasn't aware that the BF and ME were the same. That would explain it as I did see a couple BF variants in the list. Thanks!

BF was the shortcut for Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (and BMW aka Bayerische Motorenwerke, the still existing car manufacturer, was holding shares). Willy Messerschmitt was the chief designer and 1938 he became the chairman and managing director. At this time Bayerische Flugzeugwerke became 'Messerschmitt'.

if i'm remembering correctly, some of BMW engine was been drop of from the german early prototype fighter plane due high engine stress during endurance...

BF109 was using Benz engine (1,200hp Daimler-Benz DB 601N):rolleyes:

Personally, I wish I had a Messerschmitt car.

I'm pretty sure I've seen the K-4 in one of the videos so hopefully it will make it into the game.

I really hope they don't have a "K" model 109. Even the 109G2 was heavy, and once the 109G6 came out, the 109 ceased to be a true fighter. Sad really, but I hope that the "K" is a DLC or something, rather than actually in the original version.

The E3, F4 and G2 are listed on the website, and the K can be seen in screenshots, identifiable by its Erla canopy, smoothed over fuselage MGs, and taller rudder and distinguishable from the otherwise visually identical Bf109G10 by its retractable tail wheel.
