i was reading a encyclopedie of military planes when i came across the 109. it said that the 109K4 had 2x 30mm under it wings and 2x 13mm on nose position (as always) so y does the 109K4 in Ah2 have only 1x 30mm?

Because the source you were reading is poor and not a primary source and had it listed wrong.
-
Because its bull****. The K had an OPTION to carry the R6 feild conversion, but it primarily carried the Spinner gun and the Cowl guns. the Emil had the wing mounted guns, and even those were 7.9mm. The Cowlings were the 20mm

And the Me-262 carried rockets & bombs for ground attack but we don't have that.

Welcome to Aces High
That's because we do not have the attack varient of the Me262.

Don't worry. HTC is gonna implement "Perk Ordinance" in the future.
With perk ordinance, your favorite plane such as P-38 can have 6x 50 cals, 2x 30mm cannon for 109K, 6x 20mm cannon for Fw 190A-8, and 24x R4M rockets and bombs for Me 262.

Bf-109E was two 7.9mm wing-mmounted MGs and two cowl mounted 20mm right? There were some variants that already had the Spinner gun, but more often then not I beleive the cannon were still mounted in pairs. The F was the first one in which all had the spiner mounted gun, and the D had 4 mgs... I fail to see where I went wrong...
-
Ya got 'em reversed Rey...err Serenity. 20's in the wings, 7.9's in the cowl.
-
The knowledge level on this section of the forum has really went to hell in the past few months. Even with all the old arguments in the past there's was still something worth reading.
Now it's mostly nonsense.

Cause the 20MM were in the wings, not the cowl.

There are plenty of other forums where those same old arguments are still discused if someone is interested to continue with them.
Here discussion seem to be mostly game related nowadays and much more civilized than it used be in the past when the moderation was weaker.

That's funny, you have been all to willing to continue with those 'same old arguments' in the past. I bet you haven't changed and if one of those 'old arguments' came back up you would be right in it.
Either way its still better then 'I thought the whole gun spun cause look at the game tracers' and 'I drove my jeep into a tank and killed it from inside'.
You can have it...

I guess it was the 2 engines version ...
It was my : "how to start another 109 rumour" ,contribution ;)

All of one 109Z was produced, and it ran into the allied bombing
offensive the hard way before it flew :D

The 109K-6 had three 30mm cannon, two were wing mounted. It never got into production however.

Maybe I have changed a bit. There are some threads going on AH general discussion right now but I don't see anything new there so why argue? Similar discussions are going on at least in the LEMB and Ubi forums as well but nothing new there either... Basicly the arguments are mostly the same as have been many years, some increase in the knowledge can be seen but otherwise it's the same old story.
In fact most WWII aircraft related discussions seems to be generated by rather small group of people. Their (or our) opinions are generally well known and discussions rarely reach some sort of concensus, in addition the discussions often become personal. In a way it's funny, but overall it's just a dead end road.

Yeah, see the other "109 video" thread and you'll see why we've stopped bothering to correct people.

No serial produced Bf 109E ever carried a spinner gun. They experimented a lot with MG FF and later MG FF/M but it did not work reliable so it was dropped until the 109F came to live. Proably the E-2 designation was reserved for a Bf 109E with MG FF spinner gun but it was not used, AFAIK only one prototype existed.
-
LOL, try telling that to Sweet2th, Denniss. :)

It's based on two 109F not two 109K ;)
