Special K

[weazel]

 Are we going to see the 109k4 added soon? Its my favorite ride in Warbirds-so far the G series in both sims just dont do much for me. The g10 just doesn`t have the performance to handle the Pony and Spits IMO. I would also like to have the 109f7 too.

The G10 should perform almost exactly the same as a 109k-4. They both had the DB605D enignine with MW50 boost. Why they picked the G10 instead of the k-4 beats me, considering they were being built at the same time.

Some plane from 109F -series would be nice.
Dunno which, but WB's 109F4 was great!
F4's FM and G6 guns, now that would be nice

I don't plan on doing the K.  I chose the G-10 because it pretty much encompasses all the late model stuff and has a lot of configurations.  I figured I'd get the most bang for the buck with the G-10.  Since we're eventually going to have a ton of 109 variants as it is, I'd prefer not to add a bunch of superfluous additions in this line.

As far as I can understand all the K gains you over the G-10 is a retracting tail wheel and wheel well covers + whatever speed increase that gives.

I think that the G-10 behaves very well in AH and is a good match for the 51 and the Spit 9. When the Spit 14 comes out I doubt that I will be able to escape from Brits so easly though.
