109 G6 is my #1 109 ride.It as far as I can tell turns better than 109G10 and is faster/climbs better than 109F/G2.I never use wing pods and if I have less than 50% gas,I out-turn all those F4U's/P51's and G10's.If you hunt those planes you will do very well and you will also find very few of those planes will pass on combat with you if they have alt.Makes for great Bait N' Bag..

well gee urchin.... now you've got it. germany was faced with the exact same question.... what to do with all these worthless 109's that they didn't have a worthwile (modern) replacement for... Sorta like the P40... they just kept tarting it up.

If we had an early, mid and late war arena or area's in the arena.... we could use even one more 109... the 109e.... most 109 pilots said it was the most fun of all of em.

Ummm, lazs, no one in here wants to have fun.

Most of us want to spend all our time piling up worthless vulch/gangbang kills, and the rest just want to bomb fighter hangers from 30k.

Or at least, that's what the MA means to me

Actually, nevermind. I'm a love muffin. The more I fly the 109F4 the more I like it. I've turned with Niki's with some success, haven't been able to outturn a Spit yet, but I'm sure I'll get there. Only problem with the F4 is you aren't fast enough to run, so if you get attacked by 3 or 4 guys, it is dying time.

Today I dedicated a lot of time to G6 ... ...OK, I admite it, the best 109.

WTG Mandoble, <S>. Took me a while to figure that one out myself, I Looooove the 109g6.

But was time to switch to something new, so spend most of my time in 190's now (all of em, hehe). No Urchin we don't wont to give up one of the 4 190's either,

109g6 is pretty damn good.......

Its my favorite but the g2 aint no slacker.

I was an early lover of the f4 when I believe eagler and I were the only 2 flying it regularly.

The entire planeset really is the best in AH.

MANDOBLE · « **Reply #37 on:** October 01, 2001, 04:09:00 AM »

My main reason to be convinced so quickly was the next:
Yesterday I found a plane that turns well, accelerates well, climbs well, has a decent control at 400 mph and a very precisse centerline gun able to kill 6 or 7 planes in a single sortie. But the best thing, in one of my last sorties I noticed that I have been flying with a 250kg bomb all the time (hate this hangar bug).

im with fester....G6 and F4 are awsome. i dont even touch the G10 and G2

One of my squaddies took up a g6 for a tour and got like a 6/1 kill death in it. He ended up in the top end of the top ten for that tour... he said it was very easy to fly and get kills in.

109's are just Pony Food!

*sigh* here we go again

The late model G10 is essentially a K4. R4M makes claims to the contrary but has NEVER, EVER provided the proof. Please share this data with us, because every time this comes up all I see is data that shows that our G10 and the K4 are essentially identical. Over the history of AH there has been like 8-10 very indepth (100+ post threads) discussions on the subject.

Until I see substantial evidence otherwise, I'm of the opinon that our G10 performs to the K4 specs.

Also the K4 was the last production 109, and even it was produced in very small numbers.

If there were anything beyond that they were prototypes or in numbers so small you can count them on your fingers and toes.

GRUNHERZ · « **Reply #43 on:** October 01, 2001, 02:07:00 PM »

Ummm verm there were at least 1734 K4 made and saw service from autumn 44 till the end of the war....

Is that very few??? You have 1734 fingers and toes??? Wow I,d love to see that man, post a pic!

(joke)

As for K4 differences. The only one Id really like to see are the improved ailerons with automatic flettner asssist tabs. These made it roll better at high speeds.

109f with gonds, 50% fuel and dt most of the time. Can T&B will all but the best, then you have to get rid of gonds. great perks too but nothing to spend them on

g6(if I have to turn at all

) & g10 with gonds, 30mm, 50% fuel and dt for HOing and bomber smashin.

don't fly much else of anything else
