The g10 is comparable, but my understanding is that it cannon is bigger?? Not certain but, bezshimney flew it a bunch and swore by it.

The G10 in the game is fitted with the same 20mm MK151/20 cannon that is in the F4,G2 and the K4's gondola gun pods.
By the way the MK151/20 fired twice as fast as the the MG FF 20mm cannons in the 109E, and it had much higher muzzle velocity, making it far more effective against armour. So the 1 cannon on the 109F4/G2/G10 is better than 2 on the 109E

I forgot to finish what I was saying about the G2 having created some unwanted/dangerous handling on take off and landing. Well to fix this for the next update (109G4) they found they needed to have larger wheels, and thus the G4 and later G variants had those drag creating lumps on the wings to acomodate the big wheels and also a drag creating unretractable tail wheel (The 109K repackaged everything to cut down the drag again to offset the even greater weight gain).
All this extra drag and weight made the G6 a bit of a pig in a dogfight especialy with the extra wing cannons fitted to take out bombers.
So the reason the G10 didn't have a MK108 and wasn't fitted with gondola wing pod cannons was to save weight and return some of its fighter qualities . The G10 was designed as a high altitude dogfighter with a enlarged supercharger to provide cover for the G6 bomber killers.
