Talk to me about 109s

[uptown]

I've been thinking about learning a German plane for ENY purposes. I need something I can use in all situations, not just fighter mode. So the K4 isn't an option right now. Which one would be the best to learn in and why?

g14... almost a k4, but can carry bombs.

G14 has the most options, 30mm w/gondolas or not, 20mm with gondolas or not, rockets, and bombs...

Has alot of engine power too

P-47 will make you a better fighter.

I just took the G14 for a spin in the DA and killed a mossie that had about a 10K alt advantage   Yeah I like it.   Seems like she sucks the fuel down though. What kind of fuel load do you guys pack around? 50% and a DT, 75% .....

Been flying the jug off and on for 6 or 7 years. I'm looking to learn a 109 now.And it's the P38 on the American side that'll make you a better pilot imo.

100%. DT rarely for the G14, as I use(d) it more for low alt work compared to the K4.
Unless in a situation where you desperately need every mph you can get, the G14 is actually a slightly better dogfighter than the K4 below 10K

It didn't take me long to get used to the 30mm ballistics, and if you master the 109K4, there is almost nothing you can't beat.

I love the G14 myself, really never been much of a K4 fan. Most of my fighter kills are in the P-47 tho, so who knows?

Drop tanks and bombs soak your speed even after dropped, couse of the rack. The speed disadvantage is about 7mph on the deck. If you wanna do some jabo work, the 109 isnt the plane for you.
g14: 100% fuel no gondies, ready to make a couple tater tots. 355mph on the deck, one-shot-one-kill-no-luck-just-skill fun, still wont turn, but at least you can fly very slowly. Snaprolls, vertical torq reversals are your friend.

I like the 20mm package on the G14 rather then the 30mms. Figured the gondies would be ok for GVs..but don't know. Under 10K and fairly slow is where I'll have to be until I get the flight characteristics down good.
I was really expecting everyone to tell me the G6 was the way to go.  I'm glad the G14 was mentioned first actually. Always liked it for some reason. I guess because you don't see all that many guys in them.

I actually love the G2. I've never really taken much time in any of the others. I have done a little bombing in it but not much. For the most part I only use it for dogfighting and buff hunting and only typically use the gondies for buffs.

[Babalonian]

My favorite flight characteristic about the G-14 (besides it's great variety of AA gun/ord packages) is that it's probabley the the fastest climbing aircraft in the game.  My least favorite is that it has too much torque (although at times it can be used to an advantage), a competent opponent can make you regret choosing to bring a G-14 to the fight at every turn.

-F4 is the most fun in my opinion.

Flying against the Bf 109G-14, I find it to be a little more nimble in an angles fight as opposed to a Bf 109K-4.
