This isn't unique to a 109 and is not so common as to be the key to getting any kill in a k4 as the poster and some others often suggest. I asked for him to answer because more than likely it's his perception of quick, but standard, over the top reversals. Which also aren't unique to k4's.

Nice acrobatics though.  :aok :airplane:
Here's my 152 helicopter kill. hehe

More important is whether or not that was even possible in RL. I don't care much for it, since I don't think AH as a flight sim. But I do find it interesting though. I don't see even modern aerobatics planes doing moves like that.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Anyone remember when we had the 20mm Option in the G10, and the 30mm option in the G6?  It was great, if you sucked with the 30mm, you could still fly the "fast" 109 with a 20mm, and if you like the 30mm, but wanted stability and simpler characteristics, you could fly the G6 with a 30mm.  I really miss the 20mm option on the top tier 109, as I'm most un Grizz like with the 30mm.

A 109G10 wouldn't be a bad addition. The 109K's engine, but with a hybrid G-14/K4 body.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

Do it...cuz now the I-16 has made it on the HO list.  That list is:  Brewster Mark XXI with full afterburner, A6M5b Zeke with thinning airfoils for high speed diving, and the ME-262 1A CUZICAN

the k4 is way better as too many pilots who use it think of it as a 190 so they just try to hit and run  :bolt:.

In an effort to help settle this dispute, I decided to fly back to Dallas from Pitt early and drive by the Cavanaugh Flight museum at Addison Airport.  They have a Spanish 109F-4 because its better than both and I will speak to the curator, con him into letting me crack the cockpit open, sit in it, take photos, and post them here so that you all will be jealous.  I will include his opinion in my summary.

(This is the museum that helped HTC with the cockpit renderings and, if I'm not mistaken, some of the flight modeling or verification of it)

Be jealous.  Then, tonight I'm going to jump into the MA and kick your azzes.   :aok

The last Bf109F-4 was produced in May 1942. As the Cavanagh a/c was built in 1943, their a/c would be based on the Bf109G.
