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

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.

I should say that the 109K-4 from BoP, still has the gondola cannons of the G-6. It was with the 109K-6 that added internal wing cannons.

Just an update here: When I first flew the K-4 in a fight, i thought it was a crate, and I did terrible. But now I really love the K-4, if you know how to fly it, it can be a beast even on team battle.

I dont stress hard over getting in turning fights. If he starts to bank hard, I simply change to another target of opportunity. It does not take much from a K-4's armament to take down an enemy plane.


Its not the best handeling, and it is heavy, but its very fast. Its armament can take down anything fairly easily.

One more thing I would like to add: Many of you will disagree, but the K-4 seems to be a much more stable gun platform than the G-6. I actually score hits much more easily using the K-4. It has really become my favorite 109. And it can take quite a few hits before control is lost.

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.
