You´re right - I do specifically mean the F2 with the 15mm MG 151. I'm like Galland - who refused to fly the F series until the F4 was introduced... Anyway - I do like the added firepower that was introduced in the G6 when they dropped the MG17 for the MG 131. In the F2 you have two 7.92mm and one 15mm. That's not enough for a 1940 fighter in my opinion...

EDIT: Speaking about looks (that the Spit has in excess) - subjective soft/undefinable stuff also makes me think of the Friedrich as "weak". It looks so clean an nimble compared to the other me:s. The E is blocky and looks mean. The G and K have their bumps and stuff that also gives them a brute look in some way... An Me is never beautiful to me - but it can look like a menacing war machine, accept the F
