109G6, I'm starting to like it

[Xasthur]

i usually set the nose guns to 650 cuz since they go straight out it does not seem to effect the shot but im with ya for setting the wing guns to 350-400

Convergence is not just horrizontal, it is just as important for centreline weapons.

A decent 109 stick can kill in any 109, I fly the g14 myself  iirc wmaker does too, agent and dutchie fly k4s as well as mazz, but the only guy who is always trouble in a g6 is kotari and platano.

[Krusty]

I like the G-6 a lot more (A LOT more) since we got 200 rds for it and the gondies were updated with more ammo.

It may not be the best of the 109s, but the 13mm are nice and to quote the Stray Cats, "it's got cat class and it's got cat style."


P.S. One of my favorite Gustav skins is the JG11 for the G-6!

 My trouble is that I always try to turnfight with the G6. Too much Spit time. I'm learning slowly. Keep fast, climb.

err isn't 109s suppose to be better off fighting in groups (or with a wingman flying a 109?)

The 190 is much more deadly with wingmen, the 109 can do just fine in a 1v1.

190s work better in pairs which is true. But you gotta coordinate. 1 has to watch the other's back as he dives down...  and so on.

[Motherland]

Believe me, I know
And there are other ways to fight with wingmen other than to have one up high covering the lead. Unfortunately I'm really bad at explaining things.

Bubi, you and I both know that every aircraft benefits from a wingman.  Perhaps the point you want to make is that the 190 benefits more than others.  In other words, in a 2vs2 fight, the 190 might be the best aircraft in the game.

Yes, that's what I mean.
Any situation can be benefited exponentially by the presence of a wingman. However, the 190, which is a less than stellar 1v1 fighter, becomes a monster in group engagements.
I remember an FSO a while back, some kind of North Sea scenario, where JG11 in 10-15 190A-8's engaged a group of 15-20 F4U1(A?)'s with a slight altitude advantage.
The result was total slaughter of the Corsairs, destroying probably every single one for two-three 190's, IIRC, until a second group of high Corsairs entered the fight and we were wiped out (we took more than a few of the second group with us though ).

I am intrigued. Details and hints. Please.

[Anaxogoras]

In multi-vs-multi engagements, flat turn ability becomes far less important than speed, firepower and roll-rate.  Other useful attributes are durability, zoom climb and diving ability.  In these respects, the 190 is superlative.  Another great multi-vs-multi aircraft is the P-47, for the same reasons.

*cough* I've still got the film, those F4U's from the first group didn't survive long bubi  . We were handing it to them untill that second wave of F4U's came in Hot and High and wiped us out, we gave them hell though.  .

190s are deadly and almost untouchable with a experienced Lead and Wing behind the stick.
