Right, but that is being fixed so it isn't really missing.

True.
Even I have something to look forward to in the next update!

If we get 200 rpg in the next version I will shut up for a long time about Bf109 fixes.  You have my word on it.

On the other hand, do you all really believe that the gondolas are going to create less drag?

I have never known Pyro to say something was going to be changed, when it wasn't, except for that one time when he was just kidding.

One thing I just remembered about the 109k is that reducing rpm has no effect on fuel burn. In the other 109s, reducing rpm does affect GPH.

The bf 109 lineup right now is good as is.

I kinda wish they kept the 109G-10.  It's basically an overboosted 109G-6 for hi alt, while the 109G-14 is an overboosted 109G-6 for low-med alt.

109g-14/AS is the overboosted g-6 for high alt. 109g-10 is a k-4 with higher drag, so it's 15mph slower. The lineup is fine for MA play now, but for scenarios and CT there is a huge gap in the high altitude 109s from the 1943 109g-6 until the late 1944 109k-4.

You say 1000 G14/as is more numerous than any other plane in the game

He didn't say that.


He said:

3. ~1000 G-14/AS variants were produced. That's far more than many other aircraft that are included in the AH planeset.

That is true. Some of the aircraft that are included in the plane set were produced in far fewer numbers than 1000.

Yup.  And quite a few that were produced in larger numbers than 1000 are not yet in the game as well.

~11,000 Wellingtons
~5,900 Ki-43s
~2,500 G4Ms "Betty"

Yes, it goes both ways.  My response though was for the person who didn't read a post very closely and then told that person to do some reading. I thought that was funny.

all this whining makes me ashamed to be associated with you crybabies as a 109 dweeb.

gonna have to go back to the p38 because they know when they whine 500 lbs gets added to their lightnings

Bleh, the GM-1 boost wouldn't be too fun to be fitted to our current G6. Maybe a separate G6/AS would be nice, but having the GM-1 would add unnecessary weight to the current G6.

We also can't really have it as an optional fit in the hangar if that's what you're thinking. It's pretty random... it's an internal accessory not really a weapons/ord/fuel accessory.

Most of the fights are down low anyway, so I don't like the idea of adding GM-1 as a standard to the G6.

I agree with SgtPappy. I'd much rather have a g-6/AS than a 109 with GM-1. Too much weight with no benefit until you're 1000m above rated altitude (so 26k in a 109g-6). The one plane we have with GM-1 I'd rather didn't. I think the GM-1 only exacerbates the CoG issues that our Ta152 seems to have, and doesn't boost performance until around 38000ft!

Who ever said the 109G-6AS...Thank you.
I avidly and sincerly want one of those planes.  Especially
with the /U4 option to take the Mk.108 in the spinner.
I fly this plane in IL2 amost exclusively when available as
I do not like the 109G-6 early very much in conparison to
the Bf.109F-4 or the Bf.109G-2.  I will have to say though, that
in IL2 anyway I prefer the Bf.109G-10 to the Bf.109K-4 as
it's performance and handleing in my PERCEPTION are better.
That is unless we are talking about the Bf.109K-4C3, then I prefer
this mount.

But yes, 109G-6AS/U4! I likes it very much.

You are, no doubt, referring to his explanation the perked ordnance system -- when he said there would be a per round charge on everything bigger than a 303, with perk refunds for unused rounds awarded on landing. Of course, he said if perks ran low then players would have to fly the Hurri I and Spit I, but that's the price of progress....


What was even funnier was the very high proportion of people who A) Didn't get the joke, and then B) got mad at him and whined about how HTC reps shouldn't go pulling people's legs about such serious matters.
