Yes I will check that, I had a good (IIRC German language) book about Swiss 109s, which helped me to ID J-347's WNr. and service record.
As for the gun barrels, I am not sure - one of the tests being waved about is explicitely about measuring the speed diff. between guns present/not present, and it's about 1 km/h.. I'd imagine different gun barrels amount to even less. ;)
Rads look interesting though, this might account for something, but again, looking the Swiss test results, the difference is only about 8 kph at VDH, which from my experience, is an extremely good match for a serial production plane compared to the guaranteed specs!

Seeing you seem to be such an expert perhaps you would be so kind to point out what is wrong in my Me109E speed/alt chart and how it really should look like?

Well for one it probably has wrong data.. guessworked drag, guessworked wing effiencies, guessworked propeller effiency, manipulated until it fits one's agenda. :D
As Tagert said, garbage in... garbage out.
BTW, care to tell why you disappeared from allaboutwarafe forums? I am sure it's hell of a story. :D :D :D
