The G6AS is a lighter aircraft AFAIR, and definitely more agile than than all G6s and later 109s.
If I remember correctly it's turning circle time is about 2 seconds less than the other 109s.

I specifically choose this aircraft online when up against Spits, Yak3s and LA5s.
Has less hitting power, requires sniping, but gives the 'allies' a real headache.. at least you get home

Not sure about more agile, however it does have MW50 and that extra power should let you sustain a higher rate of turn all else being equal.

At higher altitudes the G6as has performance approaching a K14 but turns like a G6. Its just a nice plane to fly.

Ok guys, as your suggestion, I did a comparsoin with L5F.
but G6 still can not fly away from it @7000m, L5f has 10km/h adavantage.
I doubt same thing would happen on climbrate comparsoin.
only 150kg and 2 bubbles can make such big difference?

I did a lot of time in the 109s, and avoided the G6AS because of it's lightweight gun platform. I switched to the AS when I rudely discovered that I was being outturned badly. The AS then put me on a par with the other allied planes in every online fracas.

Incidently, unless the MW50 is automatic at full throttle... I've never used these extra power goodies - always worked my way around them.

I might sound a bit mad, but I would really like all of our a/c modelled with the bad habits. Pilots might think twice before picking an aircraft.
The performace of an aircraft should be judged as a whole. Not just turnradious or speed, but reliability.

It seems to be possible. We have it in the I-16 where there are a random chance of ending up with a binocular sight instead of a reflectorsight.


I used to love the Ki84, but after having read about it I hardly fly it anymore.
It have all the advantages and none of the vices in IL-2.

The example that the US recieved after the war for evaluation was a prestine example. Intelligence gathered tells another story. A lot of a/c was lost to hydralic and engine failures. The a/c was often delivered without armourplating for the pilot.

You should be performing any tests on the Crimea Map and using the TAS from Wonder Women mode not the cockpit IAS.

IL2 aircraft are calibrated for Crimea.

different AC has different tendecy performance change if map changes from Crimea? if not, it still can tell sth even if the map is not crimea.
BTW I am talking about TAS for sure.
