Serenity, are you talking about the K4 in game not having a retracted tailwheel, or the RL one?

I've raised this here already, the general consensus was that the majority of these main-gear doors were removed in-field due to complications with the rough airfields from which the Luftwaffe operated.

Hence their exclusion in-game.

That is honestly the most retarded thing I have ever read on these boards, and thats saying a lot. Why on earth would that matter? K4 FTW! Nice skin btw.

I am obsessive-compulsive, and extremely obsessed with asthetics. The fact that I fly the Bf-109 at ALL considering the aysymetrical supercharger intake is a miracle, but I love the bird enough to shrug that off...

Haha, the supercharger intake is one of the best things about it.

The 109 is a brutal, ugly, murderous machine!

Brutal, yes. Murderous, yes. But not ugly. The supercharger is aysymetrical, and thats what I dont like. But, it makes up for it
