BF-109 G6

I for the life of me will never understand the logic behind making the K-4. It was barely in production on D Day, and honestly it was barely produced, at least comparatively. The G-6 on the other hand was defiantly serving in numbers on D Day, and was the most produced version. ED made an A-8 so pleas guys make a G-6.

We were told at the time that there was more accurate documentation available for the K-4 version .Don't know more than this.

No way. After the war we extensively tested all of the German aircraft. I'm certain there is plenty of info to work with. At the time the warbirds were pet projects. Now there is an actual effort being made to recreate the 1944ish air war. And for that the G-6 is it.

+1

Nah, won't be popular. Just like A8

I'd love to have the G6 too, but it would be vulnerable to the spit IX and P-51D. Maybe a later mark like the G10, G12, G14. It is a mid-war design. Maybe someday we will have G6, the Spit V, and P-51B or C. I think we would all love early war models too, from The 109 E, F, through early G models (The Finns would like to have the earlier Gs flown by Finland).

I think the G6 would hold its' own against the P-47 at the low altitudes typically found in DCS multiplayer servers.

But maybe ED does not want to steal thunder from IL-2 - the two companies are on friendly terms.

Meh, as a lifelong 109 lover, G6 is the only 109 version I don't like at all. Hardpass for me... Do anything else, and I'm game, E-3,E-4,E-7,F-2,F-4,G-2,G-10, I'd be happy with any of these.

The A8 isn't so unpopular.

It's the 4th most flown machine and the 2nd most effective ground attack aircraft on the storm of war server.

I'd love the G-6 in DCS. Would really help with the coherency of planeset.

I'm sorry, how many people are playing on that server? Like, 10? And there are only 5 WW2 birds in the game AT ALL dude(excluding I-16). You'd better check somewhat more populated servers like LDFM. Little to no A8s there

+1 for G6. Wanted it for ages!

I agree that one of the more common, large production number and 'famous' variants might have been a better choice, but I doubt it makes so much sense with the K-4 already around. Cohesion is something one could have had in mind then. At this point, that idea is a bit of a joke, considering how even the WWII project is all over the place already.

+1

Prefer the G6 to the K4 any day as it was the most produced variant and was really the only variant used in June `44. However if i could vote I always vote for a F4 or G2 as the pinnacle of the type

RAF Museum Cosford G2 and some friends.

I will buy any Gustav 109.

So true. The jets have no chronological consistency at all, and Nick said he wants the BoB for WW2!

Delivering a coherent WW2 planeset should be the goal, so +1 for the G6!

Pinnacle? For 1941/42 maybe.

There was not one “G6” variant - there were lots of variations on this long-serving model with quite a bit of differences in performance.

I agree about the G2/F4. These would be the most fun for me and a good match to the Spit IX and Mosquito. Well, the F4 is a bit earlier but still a good performer in 1943.

thesy should require to build tyhem in pairs lets say G-6 / P 51 B, 109 F4 Spit Mk II, and so won so we would stop having planes form every era and not compareble...

Gustav, yeah I radder have a 10 than a 6 , but again it alldepends on whats on teh other side...not for balance neceserilly but for coherence...

Woooo, there's no balance IRL, if red side is stuck in 80s that's their problem

Sorry, wrong theme

F YEAH G6! Most produced and classic 109 boy Far... Also, It would be a great door for all the different types, giving It a nice diversity with ALL the variants and with that, great value for money and subsequently sales

Also I would just love a 109 with a mg151 instead of the 30mm lol.

I think he mean F-4 or G-2 were the best in relation to their opponents of the time.

Even if i.e. G-14 was more capable than G-2, it was already surpassed by its opposition.

It's like what's the pick of i.e. MiG-21 career: very capable 1960' MiG-21F-13 with great visibility, maneuverability, performance on par with the best fighters of the world. Or 2000' MiG-21 Bison, third grade aircraft, worse in every regard than anything it could meet in the air, a death trap for the pilot in case of any symmetrical conflict.
