To all bf-109 fans like me: which one is best?

[Kamak86]

G6, it is the all around better fighter then the other 109s. It varies with the person who flys it. My forte is the g6. I ve tried th K-4 and the G10 and it just doesnt live up to the G6 for me. Either does the F4 or E3 which i havent used since I unlocked the G series. I have yet to fly the G2. I rarely find people who can out gun me in my G6, there are a few who can exploit the 109s weakness.

I'm working on getting the K-4, but for me the G-6 is tops.

Easy to fly, fast, and rips Sh*t up when you get a good shot in.



It's just a great plane all around for me, and is forgiving in its handling compared to some of the planes I have commandeered for MP.

I used to think the same about the g6 but im starting to find that other players are out turning /flying me too much ???

Well, I don't try to turnfight with craft I know I can't beat in a turn. Generally the best turning speed for the G-6(to me) is 180-215 mph.

I usually BnZ or sneak in behind someone else in a turnfight who is not expecting me.

None of the 109's are great turners. You should rely on B&Z tactics with them, although B&Z isn't very effective (yet) in BoP.

Is there a reason for this? Which model do you guys use/do best with?

FYI: I play on realistic 99% of the time.

I'm not a fan of the 6, sure its got more guns that a third world county, but the recoil when you pull the trigger is silly and makes accurate shooting impossible unless your on top of the target.

For this reason I chose the F, its guns and cannons are nose mounted so sway is limited to none when firing.

I know thats not everyones cup of tea, but its the way I like to fly.

I think the game has a typo with the G-6 armament, it says "2 machine guns and 3 30 mm cannons" when I think the actual armament is 4 machine guns and one 30 mm cannon.

No, It is Correct.

None of the Me109G's had any weapons inside the wing. They ALL had One 20mm or later One 30mm Cannon in the engine and Two machine guns ubove the engine.(G-2 has 8mm mg's, G-6 replaced these with 13mm mg's)

In BoP the 109's with 3 cannons are fitted with the conformal gondola 20mm wing cannons. These were great at taking out bombers but pretty much destroyed the planes ability to dogfight. They were usualy used as night fighters.

The 109K introduced 2 internal 30mm in the wings, so although still adding to the weight, but without the drag and restored the handling somewhat.

The 109F should be the best handling of all. It had more power than the Emil for not much additional weight. It also had the improved wing design which the Emil didn't.

The Gustav really added too much power and weight for the airframe. It was a dangerous plane for the german pilots, thay had to be carefull or their own plane could kill them.

Ah, so the 109 G-6 and 109K actually do have 3 cannons as well as 2 machine guns, interesting.

Especially if it doesn't hurt the K's handling as much as it does the G-6's. I found the G-6 to be a decent enough dogfighter, I blew up plenty of Spitfire MXIs with it. Though of course their pilots didn't seem to know anything than trying to just turn with their enemy every time, like someone flying in BF1943 :d

I think the G-10 handles very well, it's the fastest 109 on the game. It still doesn't have the acceleration of a spit so be careful. I usually fly the K-4 just because the G-10's armament is utterly dissapointing once I became accustomd to flying the K-4. 109s can turn with a spit or an LA at the right speeds, but it requires so much energy that you can't sustain the same radius as them. Manage your energy, try to stay above your target while they turn, let them kill their energy. Most spit or LA pilots immediately enter a turn when you engage each other, I try to go high, dive back in while they're bleeding energy to get a burst in. If you hit them, their controls are definitely going to be affected. If you miss you may want to disengage and come back when you've regained an advantage. Be patient-if they are multiple people playing wait for them to engage each other and dive in the back of the line. I've been able to score 4-5 consecutive kills with limited ammo in a K4 riding the train

Whats the G10 and K4 armament?
