The K-4 (mid Oct '44) entered service slightly before the G-10.
Right, but I was comparing G-10 to G-14
Just have to love Milo blaming people for not reading his typos right...
if you want to compair the G-10 to G-14 you have to look at the K-4 aswell, where the K-4 was a newly built plane, the G-10 was a conversion of older 109's to bring them up to the standards of late war russian and american planes, the G-14 had losts of variants, but the G-10, being a mixture of parts had even more, the G-10 was almost Identical to the K-4 aside from the DF loop being closer to the front, and some minor differences, it had the dame DB 605 D engine, and the wings were almost Identical, so unless we are talking about a G-10 that was unlucky enough to have the old short vertical stab and rudder, the G-10 and K-4 would pretty much fly the same, so it isnt to crazy to sub the K-4 for a G-10 when compairing to the G-14
