Keep in mind that all the Bf109K-4 was, was an attempt to standardize Bf109G production by consolidating all the improvements that were being produced in different Bf109Gs at different factories. It was creating a maintainance nightmare. It was not a major redesign of the Bf109, but rather a standardization of the late war Bf109 production.

You say that as if it is no big deal. I think incorporating all the improvements into one plane is a big improvement!!!!!!
Also I see no mention of the larger tail section (that will help with those verticle moves) The specs on the K are better in every book I have read and just because you want your P-51 to out turn and out climb every other plane LOL Just Kidding

I think you mean 2x Mg131 and 1x Mk108.

Actually, it's a pretty wide spread spec info deriving from the first generations of historians, which have been quoted again and again, but nowadays have been thoroughly proven to be false.

No Bf109 variant ever, mounted MG151 on the cowls.

Nor did they ever use a MK103.
