109 G6

[Motherland]

The G6 is a great aircraft. It's performance is greatly under rated. I actually prefer it to the G2 due to the MG131's.

Yup.  There's a noticeable difference in lethality.  Which 109s need.

I like the Bf109F-4.  It is my new perk farmer and imo one of the most under-rated dog fighters in the game.

Turn off stall limiter.  Get it trimmed out manually and keep combat trim off... and you will surprise even the zekes and Hurri pilots.  If you dont have the angle in the turn, just straighten her out and accel or pull up into a slight left hand corkscrew turn.

Tried one for the first time a couple of days ago - when it has speed, nice bird, when low and slow (I know, its my own fault for getting there - but was trying it out against a squaddie in the da) it has a bit of a nasty departure (although that could well be me as I suck as a pilot lol).

Would I fly it in the MA's - oh yes, I fly anything and everything

Some useful info in here tho, could have done with finding some of this out before getting my keister handed to me in the DA lol....

We're talking about flying challenging planes here, not K4s.

Without a doubt, the 109K-4 is the most survivable 109 in the main arena, and if you get a tater hit the enemy is going down 95% of the time.  But, with all due respect Oldman, the 109K-4 is more challenging than the popular rides in the arena, e.g. Spit16, N1K, La-7, P-51D.

the G6 is my favorite 109 IMO it an outstanding fighter BnZ or TnB it does it all well there have been only few situations that i couldn't wiggle my way out of in a G6

The MA Issue seems to be that folks will fly the easy mode crates and it's a shame that a great little plane like the G6 gets a bad rap sometimes, I just don't get why a lot of folks in the MA would up a 16 rather than a spit 9 or a G6 or something like that.
I've been getting my prettythang handed to me a on a regular basis in the G6, but what the heck, I'm learning it and having some fun.

Flying torque machine... wont roll or turn with many of its counterparts... poor visibility... a weapons package you cant deploy over 200 yards...

...is not a challenging aircraft?  When did this become the case?

I like all the 109's, including the E4.  The K4, as others have said in the past, is among the best non-perked aircraft in the game.  I actually think I like the G2 better than the F4.  The G6 and G14 are fun but I tend to lean toward the G2 and K4 respectively instead.

I always take 100% internal fuel with no drop tank.  It's more than enough.

I guess that's probably true, Gavagai, but I think of it as being in the same general class as those other 1945 planes.  The G6 belongs with its 1943-44 contemporaries, e.g. the P-47D11 and D25, the P-51B, perhaps the Typhoon and Spit9 and Yak 9T and early Corsairs.  Even in that crowd the G6 wouldn't often be your first pick.  Among the 109s the K4 is clearly the best, with the 109F being next and the G6 being the most difficult to fly effectively.

That's just my opinion, of course.

I like all of the 109's

[Motherland]

The 109G6 is actually pretty easy to fly, almost exactly similar in handling characteristics to the G2, which is the most well rounded, easiest to fly of the 109's. The K4 by comparison is actually harder to fly IMO but much more effective once you get proficient in it.

It's like the way people compare the Spitfire MkIX to the Spitfire MkXVI.
