Bf109-G10

??? The 109G-10 was considerably slower but more manoeuvrable than the K-4. So it was never a K-4 with 20mm gun. Effectively the G-10 wasn't even faster than a G-6 flown by a top 109 pilot when he excercised his wide and fast turns. So what you're trying to tell newcomers here is absolutely wrong !

  You are correct but,back when we had the G10 ingame it wasnt modeled as a G10! It had the performance of the K4 and the weapons options of the G10,so it was neither a G10 or a K4 but more of a hybrid. When HTC remodeled the 109 series planes they removed the 20mm option and the gondie option from the G10 and renamed it the K4.


 So while you are correct so was Karnak!

Interestingly enough though, it wasn't entirely inaccurate. Towards the end of the war, German factories were turning out some frankenstein equipment.

Some K4's were given Mg 151/20's when the MK 108 was unavailable, some G10's were finished with the K4's 605DC engine instead of their own 605D.

I can't provide proof, but I've heard tell that at the very end of things, they were also taking near total loss airframes, and mothballed older models, and jamming them together with new engines to make bastard G-10's.

That's a strategy the USN has adopted wholeheartedly!
