109F-0 10 for evaluation in July 1940

109F-1 First production operational service Jan 1941

109F-2 15mm cannon Jan 1942

Was therefore operational after BoB but was the main fighter during Barbarossa - Invasion of Russia in 1941.

after.

remembber the Germans had no drop tanks for their 109s in BOB.

109F4s were used in North Africa also.(1941/42)

BOB was fairly short too. only lasted one summer really.

the F4 is my favourite 109 version, but we need some early war scenarios for it...
