Armored windshield on the 109 F-4


Recommended Posts

Posted

Can anyone please tell me if it affects the flight performance in game? Extra drag/ weight?

Is it worth using it?

 

Thanks!

It's a very small increase in weight so yes, I always use it.

Marginally.

 

By far the biggest impact is the reduced visibility. That's the reason I never use it myself.

Yes it should reduce topspeed by a few km/h. Personally I dont need it since I rarely use my 109 as Jabos and avoid headons in dogfights usually. The sacrifise of visibilty is another big factor.

If I feel like armored glass and Il-2 destruction I normally just take the G-2, which has armored glass on both ends. The F-4 needs to be as light and unobscured as possible.

Worth having if you ever have to attack bombers!

That's the best time to have it - if you know that encounters with 2-seat Il-2s or Pe-2s are likely.

Yeah, but the G-2 is still the more rugged of the two and can take a bit more. The F-4 comes apart very easily.
