G6 vs G14 weight/turn differences?

[uptown]

I think its more fun to fight G14s in a P51D than it is any other of the 109s.

you fight?!  that's rich

G-14 slow acceleration? 

The G-14 has way more power than the G-6 and it shows. It's both considerable better in climbrate as well as level flight acceleration. Turn rate & radius are so close that the difference is almost indistinguishable.

yep SLOOOOWWWW acceleration!

It's fine IF you keep your E up but let it get below a certain level and ..................

Being under 8 s at 150-200, the G14 is one of the most powerful & quickest accelerating fighters at slow speed / low E in the game. I'm really wondering why you keep calling it "slow accelerating".

[Krusty]

Yeah, I dunno why folks think the G14 is anything less capable than a K-4 in most fights. It really is a monster of a plane (in a good way).

Man, everyone is hating on my beloved G-6 in this thread.  All else being equal, I'm more than happy to face most G-14's or K'4s in it.  Course there are exceptions.   

[mechanic]

I'm not hating Dru, the G6 is my favorite 109 to fly. I still think the G14 is a better aircraft for MA use in general.

Bah, if you consider rolling out a G6, go back to the hangar and get a G2. The only thing the G6 has is the 13mm guns instead of the pea shooters installed on the G2 as ballast stones. In performance, the G2 is better in every way. It also looks better without the G6 blisters.

[Krusty]

I agree there, Bozon, except for 2 things (which are entirely subjective):

1) The G-6 has one of my all-time favorite 109G skins on it! I sometimes fly it just for that skin!

2) Those 13mm are decent. I can get an extra kill with 'em, and they actually do damage unlike the peashooters on the G-2. It's sometimes worth it just to make the difference between losing a kill or earning it.



Other than that you're quite right.

That said a 1 v 1 fight with equal pilots the G6 will win every time. The G6 is a ton more stable in a stall fight. You can push a G6 harder than you can a G2 without stalling.

[mechanic]

I totaly agree with Sunsfan on that point. I would much rather be in a G6 than a G2, but then I tend to be a reckless stall fighter in 109 and like to really throw them around. The G2 is a great plane, I just prefer how the G6 handles.

[Wagger]

The E4.  I mean how much better can you get?  Unless that is you want something that goes faster, climbs faster and higher, and has better gun package.  But don't let the little things get you down.  It sparkles in the turn fight and can get its nose around faster than most.  I know some Spit XVI, Spit IX, P-47M, Tempest and TA-152 pilots that don't like it.   Oh and the perk points just make me giddy.

Real men fly the G6.  'nuff said.

<--- likes the G14 over the K4.
You can't run away in a g14, you must fight it out!

Seriously, the G14 is a wicked plane if you learn how to utilize its 'squirreliness'.

So far every time I've engaged a G14 while flying a G6 I get em turning and they can't get away, climb turn dive whatever they can't get away and they die.

UNLESS HTC tweeked the FM for the G14 recently there are times when it' seems like it can't get out of it's own way.

Admit I flew it last nite and found it SEEMS to preform better then it used to.

But tried gettin it to the reported top speed 408 MPH at 16.5 K and it NEVER reached that speed for me.  Never even reached 400............  That was way back not too long after it was first put in AH.

Perhaps my throttle was porked?  BUT the K4 and other planes did reachtheir reported tops speeds at the reported alt soooo?

Will fly it more and see if it's changed.
