it would be nice to have a G10, or just give us a 20mm loadout for the k4..after all there is loads of varients of spitfire
One more than we have Bf 109 variants
The G-10 would be kind of useless as a gap filler; performance similar to, but worse than the K-4, and introduced about the same time. The only thing it would add would be having a very fast, high altitude 109 with an MG151/20 hub cannon.
To fill that gap I think that the G-6/AS or G-14/AS would be much better suited.
This is a crucial plane missing from the AH2 planeset. The U4 variant mentioned in the title is the custom made G10 built for bomber destruction. It could be fitted with the BF-110's fuselage 30mm's or a non jettisonable fuel tank on the centre pylon. This would be a brilliant add to the 109 collection due to the enormous boost in firepower ,top speed and agility.
Ehhh this is full of inaccurate and misleading stats.
First of all the Bf 109G-10 wasn't anything new per se. It was attempt to bring the last of the Gustav series up to the new standard of the K (well, as close as possible) as a supplement. As a result, a very large number of G-10's were simply converted from old G-6s and G-14s. This meant that the G-10 was the fastest of the G series.... however it still couldn't match the performance of the K-4. It also lacked other features of the K-4 (mostly simple reworks).
Also, the /U4 designation does not mean it was 'custom made for bomber destruction'. In the G-6, G-14 and G-10 (the designation may have been used for other things in earlier models and the K-4), the designation /U4 simply means it has the low velocity 30mm MK108 and the necessary equipment to fire it, as opposed to an MG151/20, as the hub cannon... just like is an option in our G-14 and required in the K-4. The /U4 was hardly a custom variant and probably was produced in higher numbers than MG151/20 G-10's.
The language 'could be fitted with the Bf 110's fuselage 30mms' is highly misleading as that would suggest that they would be stored or 'fitted' in some kind of gondola or pack... and that the MK 108 was an option for a /U4 109. This is not so. The MK108 in the G-10/U4 was just the hub gun like in any other /U4, and was not an option... the aircraft had to be built at the factory like this or go through relatively extensive modifications to switch between an MG151/20 and an MK108.
Also 'or a non jettisonable fuel tank on the centre pylon' is just plain wrong, and would be a stupid idea. Willi Messerschmitt was not particularly stupid
Ruestsatz 3, for the G-10, like almost all 109's, was the drop tank rack and necessary fittings to make it work, and it worked the same as it did on all of the other 109 models since it was introduced.
"This would be a brilliant add to the 109 collection due to the enormous boost in firepower ,top speed and agility."
The G-10 carried no more armament nor was more agile than the G-14 or K-4 (I suppose it could be fitted with MG151/20 underwing gondolas however that would be kind of counter-productive), and was no faster than the K-4.
