So you've been flying 109s for two weeks and you already want to change them? How about flying just one version of the 109 for six months and get back to us then on what you might consider to be realistic?

Uhhhh....

Because they don't fit.

Same for the Mk103. It's considerably larger than the Mk108. As-is the MG151/20 gun protrudes between the pilot's feet into the cockpit (that's what the bump is between the rudder pedals).

Not realistic, sorry.

What I read about the Rheinmetall-Borsig MK 103 was it was lighter, faster firing and higher velocity then the Mk108 but never checked into see why it was never developed. I do know the Mk 103m would of fit just fine in the hub area but don't think the version was produced if in any numbers or even to late in the war to be developed on a mass scale.


Would like to see Ju87-G Modification added to the game, Stuka-G added with pair of 37mm under wings with 12 rounds of tungsten ammo.
However don't think this would be added since we have Hurri-D already and Il-2 but would be interesting enough for fun to add.

Ju87G is far and above what the hurr2d is. It's not a modification, it's a standalone version. Been wished for a lot. Would be welcomed by many, despised by many (GVers).

Also, the Mk103 was considerably heavier MUCH longer (would not fit in the engine of 109s, for example, possibly was planned to be squeazed into a Ta152 which had more room, but never was), and this is why it had better trajectory (longer barrel, among other reasons).

Should add player controlled 5" gun at factories and 2 at HQ.

I love to GV and do Jabo missions vs GVs, get used to it.  Being good at one helps in the other.

was it 1000mm longer? what about weight? I read it was double that of 108 but never checked

According to wiki;
Mk103;
Weight:145kg
Length:2335mm

Mk108
Weight:58 kg
Length:1057mm


The Mk103 was over twice as long and near 3 times as heavy.

No barbettes & gunner equipment on the 410 (we know it's coming!), 8x20mm too..
Paddle blade prop for the 47s that don't have it yet..
Only 20mm's on the A5 (I think..)
Optional GM1 on the 152
Tracers: choice of color/placement in the belts..
12x303 on the Hurricane II.
Some sorta trailer for the 251, carrying more supplies.
(Perked) realistic amount of cargo for the C47 (~20 troops IIRC)...


All of this and a quad fifty mounted on the tower.

Was it the P51H that had the cannons? Thats what I want. And aircraft factories. Depending on how much the factory is down would dictate just how many 5.0 eny planes are allowed up at one time. :D

nope, the 51H had 6 .50's

the one with quad hispano's was an early Allison engined version that the brits used for ground attack.
