109E = poorman's Spit 5.

"Poorman's Spit 5" ???

If the guy is in a Spit 5 to begin with, you cant get much more poorer than that.   :D

Spit V outclasses the 109E4.

Hell, hurr2 outclasses the 109E4. Fire Over Malta illustrated that ALL too well.

The 109E is obsolete compared to any RAF fighter that doesn't have a "Mk.I" in the name, and that's not even getting into modeling issues with some planes, just how it stacks up "as-is"

That said, it is quite fun at times. My squad did a sweep over fighter town one day in them, and I and another 109E covered their egress. I didn't survive, but when I went down had 5 kills and 40 rounds left. Just can't ever disengage!!

Nope.  It's one of those planes like the F4F-4, FM2 and Hurries where once you commit you're committed until you kill them all, die or get help.

F4 & G6 does present a nice line in the sand: machine guns on the G6 proporitonate 50 cals while the F4 comes with of 30 cals (sort of).

A bit more VA-Room too in the engine.

Lots to love about both planes.

Not at all. If it's boring, set challenges. I love using it in CV battles. Fiddy straight and you can outturn zekes all day.

/24's 

The trick to downing a 24 quickly in any aircraft is to set an engine alight.

Flying matchsticks, those things.

The German fighter pilots would also say just that. A B-24 would burn much easier than a B-17, and "brightly"

If those 20mm's were ballistically any poorer you'd have to be careful not to run into them after firing.   ;)

Heh.  True enough.  Like most early-war planes, you have to get the Emil in to 200 yards or less before you open fire. The MG-FFs work fine then.  The 60-round ammo limit is its biggest problem.
