# Added an additional ammo loadout to the late model Bf 109s armed with 20mm.

# Changed the amount of ammo loaded on Bf 109 gondolas.

Some of you remember that I didn't believe this would happen.  Well, it did. :o

 :salute to HTC.

I will now fly the G-6 a HECK of a lot more!

It's got one of the overall best skins in the game, IMO.

But my favorite G skin is III/JG11:

He did an excellent job on the fuselage art.

How are those 109s looking so stubby? Is that how it looks ingame to you? Mine look like a cross between a 109 and a Ta-152!

Maybe you don't fly the G-6? The bulges are from the 13mm cowl guns, so the E->G2 doesn't have them, while a redesign of the cowling in later versions smoothed it out a bit.

Serenity: Part of it is the angle the screenshot was taken.

Another part might be that in-game you are flying with 3:4 ratio and it's stretching to a widescreen monitor, heavily distorting things.


I think TK did a good job on the artwork of that skin, but that it looks too washed out. There are photos of it that show there was a winter paint scheme but that the art was crisp and clear, and it wasn't so heavily faded. It just looks different. A good skin, but could have been better.


P.S. Snefens, tubby usually means more "fat" or "squat" or "rotund", not so much "lumpy" or "bumpy"

It's pretty easy to see that there isn't a skin as good quality as the one that Kanttori has made for the G-6. I hope he will make some Luftwaffe skins aswell! :)

I landed 3 kills today in the G-14 with the 200rpg loadout (no gondolas): 1 Spit, 1 P-51, and a B-17! :aok  I had the extra 50 cannon rounds when I found the B-17 formation and it made all the difference! :D

Anyway to fix that? I dont like my spaghetti-ficated planes.

Run in widescreen mode in-game, or tinker with your vid card "monitor scaling" settings so it doesn't scale.

How do I run it in wide screen mode?

Well unless its one of the really funky wide screens just set AH to run in the native resolution for the monitor and you should be fine.
