im sorry to say but its just plain incorrect.

yes 3 cannoned 109s existed, but they were not the 109E.

im really not trying to rain on your game.. i think its beautiful and ill probably buy it.... im just saying you should look more carfully at what your programmers are doing to particular aircraft models.
Actually it was possible to mount a MG-FF firing through the nose cone...but apparently there were problems with this installation. Not sure what those problems were. I guess the intention always was to do it that way but they couldn't quite get it sorted out properly until the Bf109F models.

Still...its the absolute least common variation and another type that ultimately was a failure just like the Spit Ib and Hurricane I with experimental cannon armament.

Most common 109E armament was the E-4 model with two MG17 machine guns in the nose and two MG-FF/M 20mm cannons on the wings. The only other variation should be the E-1 model with MG17s in the nose and on the wings (but these were apparently all converted to E-3 or E-4 standard).
