Firstly, You have not provided an original document which shows the loadout, weight, or boost levels of the the V15 aircraft. If you have the full test, show the originals, not transcribed incomplete sections.

Secondly, the V15 is clearly not a production aircraft, there were no production E-1's till late in 1938 and early in 1939. The date of the V15 test is April of 1938, long before any E models were produced. V15 is one of several prototypes produced to test the installation of the DB601 engine in a 109 airframe.

We are discussing V15a, not any of the previous prototypes like V15, V14 or V13.

Bf 109E-1 V-15a WNr. 1774 was the last in prototype I know of, it was fully armed with 4 x MG 17s and in representative condition of serial production aircraft, the complete testing paper was provided on this forum if anyone wants to doubt my transcription.

I am not discussing red herrings about previous or different aircraft, therefore on my part I have put an end to this part of discussion.
