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

I prefer the 109F myself.

F-4 to be precise. Light, fast,maneuverable. I think it's the best balance of all 109's, and I don't care much for the light armament.

The G-6, IMO, is really just a fat G-2. Just has gondola hardpoints and whatnot.

That said, all 109's are fun. In other sims, I've rarely been ever shot down in one.
