If You Like 109's

The turn radius will be bigger. Try it.

A few years ago when I flew as Madman I made a video showcasing the 109F:



  

Very good video thanks for posting. I love the 109s.

109E, No German fighter can match the looks of the early 109s.

I also think the 109E models were the prettiest of all the 109s. The 109E the Spitfire and the P51s were the best looking planes of WWII in my humble opinion.

Oh yes! GScholz, I forgot to ask! What was the name of that movie in the video??

K4

Fastest 109, so you can run down the ponies, spits, F4Us, yaks, Lalas, and everything else.
Will out climb everything in the game, so getting to alt to get the buffs is short work. 
30mm makes everything go boom. Best weapon in the air.
Best visibility of any 109.

+1. My favorite also!
Although the G14 and K4 have visibility equivalent to each other

If you mean the one with the 109 slat deployment is is Dark Blue World. It follows a couple of Czech pilots that join the RAF after Czechoslovakia is invaded by Germany.

That's correct.  The P-38 will improve it's turn rate but it's smallest radius with flaps is close to the K4 clean. The K4 has the clear advantage in the one circle fight and the vertical two circle. The P-38 advantage is the balanced torque that let's you maneuver against the K4 torque in a stall fight.

I love 'em. All of them! 

Besides being darn pretty, it's quite a complete family of aircraft. For the occasional furball I take the G2 without gunpods, or the F4 if I want something more nimble. To defend strats I usually take a G-14 with a drop tank, 75% fuel and the 3x20mm. The taters are more lethal but don't share the 20mm's ballistics, and I really can't shoot taters...

When there's a bomber formation nearing an airfield I'll take the K4 for the fast climb, this beast simply can't be out-climbed by anything other than a 163! But then again, if the cons aren't B-24s there's a big chance they'll make it home

I prefer Lancasters as the most fun and easiest to shoot down.

I also like how you choose each 109 based on what their purpose was. But me... I just used the K4 and G14 for anything. 

[PJ_Godzilla]

G-14... It's got the erla haube hood, the flexible weapons packages, good speed, a decent turn rate, excellent vertical performance and 20mil ballistics...

I like the f-4, too, but why, oh why can I not have an historically accurate field mod to junk that damn headrest?

[MjTalon]

That's a good thing. 

When I can pry myself from the 190's I fly them(109's) mission specific.

F-4/G-2 - short notice base defense - defending against enemy carrier close offshore - close base/short flight proximity furball actions.

G-6 - when you want to challenge yourself, and look sexy doing it.

G-14 - love this plane.  Really enjoy smacking bombers with the 3x20mil guns.

K-4 - anything.


Willie's finest for sure.

I found this which I am sure most of you have already seen, but I enjoyed the read and think it is quite informative.

Makes good sense to me as well.  Considering the aces this aircraft produced it couldnt have been as bad as "popular history" claims.
