ME-109-F4
« on: March 25, 2018, 12:03:27 PM »
I wish for the 109-F4 to have the 2 20mm mg151/20  20mm wing mounted gondolas for this plane please.

From the F-4 onward, the new 20 mm Mauser MG 151/20 with 200 rounds was used as the Motorkanone.[50] The first F-4s reached frontline units in June 1941. Production lasted exactly a year between May 1941 and May 1942, with 1,841 of all F-4 variants produced.[55] Some of the later models were capable of mounting two 20 mm MG 151/20 cannons under the wing in faired gondolas with 135 rpg. These were designated F-4/R1 and 240 of them were produced by WNF in the first quarter of 1942.[56] This optional additional armament was standardized as field kit for later G and K series. A special high-altitude variant, the F-4/Z featuring GM-1 boost, was also built with a production run of 544 in the first quarter of 1942 and saw extensive use.[53][57] Finally, the Erla factory produced 576 tropicalized F-4 trop in the first half of 1942.[53]

the109/R1 had the20mm gondolas for field fix.
 
I guess some would say fly the G14 or the G2 or G6 but I like the F4 better.
I don't know what the designation for our 109-F4 is-but if its modeled from the 109-F4/R1 it could be possible to have the extra 20mm gondies

no  the 109-G2 is a F/A is faster without bomb and gondolas-even with gondolas the F4 is faster of course u put gondolas on F4 it will be slower-gondies are a field fix-make like the G14-G2 and G6 and let the pilot choose if he wants them or not-for some reason the F4 handles different--The F4 has a different engine, prop, wings, canopy.
prob won't happen just a wish

The F was significantly lighter than the G, but the aerodynamics qualities were very similar. The boost in horsepower with the new DB 605 engines made the G much faster.

Also, the F was capable of using a variety of bombs, historically - why the AH does not have a bomb rack is a mystery.
