Bf 109 E-3 Weight Issue
See the marked parts. The Bf 109 E-3 is showing a serious overload in standard configuration. Aparently the weight calculations are off or/and based on wrong initial weights.
  Leergewicht = Empty Weight Ladungsgewicht = Loadout Weight (actually the german version is BS) Source for the second screenshot is the official Bf 109 E data sheet contained in the "Bf 109 E Compendium" which can be purchased from Luftfahrtarchiv Hafner.

There are several other planes suffering from the same overload problem. Even without a bombload some bombers exceed their maximum take-off weight by just being filled up to 100%.
Let alone the Bf110s using the wrong cannon...

How does pilot armour plating or lack thereof factor into the Bf 109 E-3's weight? Apparently the tables above are without armour plating? Is there solid primary source documentation of if/when most operational units were so equipped? Does COD model pilot armour for the Bf 109 E-3? How much did the pilot’s armour plating weigh, assuming at some point it was installed?

Look behind in the cockpit. See an armor plate?
 No, the E-3 in CloD is currently not equipped with an armored headrest. It'll be interesting to see the E-4 Ilya talked about in the roadmap thread.
