The g6 has a few of my favorite 109 skins, the one with the italian colors on the verticle stab is awesome.  Unfortunately I've never been terribly successful in the g6.  I've tried with only the hub gun but I find I do better with the gondolas.  My aim is pretty bad and hitting with 3 20mms instead of one makes a big difference.

G6 is an outstanding aircraft and a truely amazing one once you learn it. She doesn't have the engine power or the top end speed as some of the other 109s ( not including the E, F models ).

Her firepower is her biggest assist since it has the 13mm cowling MG guns instead of the 7.9mm cowl guns on the G2. Her maneuverability is also debatable. On paper, yea her maneuverability is worst than that of the G2, actually the G2 is superior in every way to the G6 except firepower.

The G6 also has some of the best 109 skins in the game and that is another reason why i fly the G6. ( Best 109 JG11 skin to date ) & the extra firepower mixed with my excellent gunnery makes short work of bandits once i saddle. I also do not have no problem making the G6 dance like a G2, you just have to be aware of your surroundings since once she's slow it's a pain building E because of the engine power.

The 20mm combined with the 13mm MG cowlings makes short work of alot of single engined fighters. Shouldn't take no more than a 1-2 second burst to down a fighter if you're hitting some critical spots ( I normally aim for the wings or cockpit. )

Also another note, the G6 can't catch alot of the Late war planes in a drag race so chances are if you're being tailed and don't have the E or Alt advantage you'll be engaging him very soon.

Hope this helps.  :salute

thank you lusche, but a couple of those bottom graphs are going to need a bit of explaining, i think i understand the info but i'm a little confused

sustained turn raidius , now that is the radius(circle) the plane can maintain, so basically with a radius of 135 the F-4 with flaps down turns the tightest? is that right

and i'm going to need explain on the sustained degrees and the sustained 360 degree time

The time to complete a 360 circle (and thus the degrees you are flying per second) depend on both your turn circle radius and turn speed.

Two planes may have the same turn radius, but if my plane does fly that very same circle at a higher speed than yours, I have the 360 turn finished quicker than you, and the degrees per seconds is higher. (Which may an advantage or disadvantage, depending on initial situation)

Since when is the possibility of more degs per second a bad thing?  :huh
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Stampf = ik ???

Still remember when I had the only kill of -ik- during a TOD in WB <S>

I tried 109g6r6 last month and its a decent fighter,IF you have patience, AND you can assess the situation many vs many.


My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

G14, 100% fuel (75% for base defence) and tater. No need to inform me that the K4 is "better", cause it aint for me.
