IMO the G14 was more stable than the K4 when mixing it up. Only slightly, but worth mention.

I fly the G14 more, and every time I take the fight vertical...I think bugger..I wish I was in my k4..I stopped flying the K4 when I started flying the dora again. And now I am not as accurate with the tater as I use to be.

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

Really appreciate the charts fellas! Hadn't seen em yet.  !S!   Solution to the dilema of choosing btwn monster k4 w/taters or G14 with accuracy but less power...(Drumroll please)...
Bring back the G10 w/both options!!
 Thoughts?

all of the 109s are very close to similar except the E model. it just depends on the person flying it and the situation you are in that these very small differences will come in handy
Cmon.. the F is almost spit like.

:lol  true. but if you notice i said very CLOSE to similar. all the 109s except the E have almost everything the same in speed climb and maneuvers with each earlier model being one step lower than the one before it (except the F)... THERE! happy bronk? :D

We arent comparing spits here, we are comparing 109s......Man Planes.

My feeling on them on

E4- extreme plane, turns too good making it retarded in the MA
F4- just breaching that gap, no go in climb since the top speed at the lower fights isnt great
g2- Handles like the K4 IMO, good all around high eny fighter
G6- has different stall characteristics then them all
G14- perk farmer with tator



K4- K stands for Kill

I have to disagree. The F4 may not be the best 109 climber... but it still outclimbs most of the LW planeset in a non-zoom situation. You can fight nose up a lot, you just have to be careful when facing Spits, Niks, Ki-84s

Which just happens to be what you're facing if you're a Knit in the LW arenas...but it's a lot of fun watching them twitch when you get on their 6.

YES!

20mm hub and gonds option YES!!!

Or the G6 AS or the G14 AS!!!!

IMHO the G14 fighting a G6....

IMHO IF the G14 turns or loses it's E vs a G6 it's in BIG trouble!  G14 better keeps it's E.

Properly flow a G6 will stay right on the G14 due to the SLOW acceleration of the G14 and will out turn it by a tad and flies slightly better at stall speeds IIRC.

IMHO G6 used to be one of the poorest preforming 109.  Always seemed to have a odd way of flying when I compared it to the G2 or F4 or G10.  Seemed like it did everything a 109 could do but it did it POORLY.  Can't really explain it any better then that.

Didn't turn well, or climb well, or have lots of speed, but better guns then previous versions.  G14 is very close in performance to the G6 in many ways IMHO.  And IMHO TOO many ways!  Not even sure why we have a G14?  But I rarely fly it, don't really like it, guess fause it ain't a G10.  :lol

G2 is a tad faster then the G6?

Just my opinion  :D

G-14 slow acceleration?  :huh

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.

1 on 1 the G6 or G14 will beat an equal pilot in a K4. The K4 is a spectacular furball or BnZ weapon but it suffers especially against a G6 in an angles fight. If I had to choose between the G14 or the G6 for MA use I would take the G14 for the 30mm and the speed, though the G6 would be better suited for low alt fighting vs the usual spits and niks. All the 109s are alot easier to fly than a spit mk14.
And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.

I have to agree that the G-14 is my pick for low alt furballs.  The Tater gun is lethal and it is more nimble than the K-4.  My favorite versions are the F-4, G-2 and G-14.  Save the K-4 for Med-high alt fights.
