Fly a 109F and you'll fall in love with her. If you don't, your gay  :banana:

Different 109s for different purposes.... If you want to do tight, tiny, turns take the F4 or G2 (but, really, the F4), and if you want to stay fast enough and climb fast enough to compete with all those late war runners, take the G14 or K4.

G14 and K4 turn worse, but have the E regeneration you need for a fully flexible sortie, to adapt to any kind of target you may find. The 30mm lends to a different fighting style as well, but allows you to hit any random bombers you see.

F4 turns better, still capable enough to dogfight against larger numbers and come out on top, but the firepower is really more of a "kill one target at a time" type of engagement, and not as suitable for random bombers. You have to fight the turn fight in this plane, because it really isn't fast enough to keep up with the late war LWA monsters.

Both are great in their own right. Take either. Take both. Mix and match to meet your mood.

Let me tell you the real secret here, folks: You don't have to pick just one!

Probably doing 360 snap rolls or near instantaneous back flips without losing control. I saved a film of myself doing (what I think) is a back flip in a K4. Will post it tomorrow. I honestly think that this was no way possible in RL, but I also think that this is a war game with planes, not a hardcore flight sim, so I don't mind it much.  ;) Besides, not a whole lot of people know how to do these tricks anyways.

Here it is. Just 1:02 minutes long. Turns on trails for better visuals.

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

In the MA the k4's speed and fire power along with it's potential maneuverability is king. You can get down and dirty and still build up speed quik enough to egress. not to mention above 5k it's faster then la7's in level flight and i believe faster then doras after 6 and faster then a tempy aft 7 or 8. But i say the G2 is better balanced. it's faster the the 38's. can climb great. Can turn great. but it's only a mid speed plane. and easaly caught by lala's pony' doras ext. as redbull said earlier. Practice them. learn them. and then choose

How in the world did you get 25 noobs in 109's to fight you? :D

The k4 and G14 are bother superior in prop hanging and vertical performance. The G2 doesn't excel in any one category but it does nearly everything really well. I flew G2 for nearly 4 yrs as a Jabostaffle and it can put up a good fight if flown on the edge. I tear G14's up regularly, the K4 has so much vertical performance that it's a more difficult fight,but more times than not,will get them in a tight scissor and get the shot. K4 is a plane in it's own league . Seems everyone tends to think that sea level top speed is what will win,but that's only if your running. G2 is by far the most balanced of the 109's IMHO.

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

G2 is an excellent bird, but the k4 is the best one...
