ME 109G video

[Voidhunger]

 

Is there a La5 in the crosshair?

[LLv34_Flanker]

S!

 

 Looks like a La-5 very much. Nicely done video.

[oneeyeddog]

Very nice. Thanks for posting Voidhunger.

G2 !! If I were a russian flyer :russian_ru: I would take the week off and wait for the La5   

[Volkoff]

What a wonderful video. Bf-109 fans have a sweet ride to look forward to sim- flying, tomorrow.  MJ

[Pollux]

00:24 s we see a La- 5 ???

No need to take off the weekend.  I will just ride out the G-2 bnz apocalypse by sim-flying my Yak-1 below the overcast, near the deck.

Are you kidding? The G2 means we'll have the Yak in MP! Consider yourself SOL and JWF (that's 'shit outta luck' and 'jolly well fucked' to you non-George Carlin fans)

Nice video!

Question. Is it accurate to have retractable rear landing gear with G-2?

Question. Is is accurate to have retractable rear gear with G-2?

Yes. The rear gear was often locked down in muddy conditions though.

 

The permanently locked down tail wheel was a feature of the Bf 109 G3 and G4, which introduced the larger tyres and strengthened landing gear.

very nice!

[ShamrockOneFive]

Question for the dev's... In building the 109G-2, how much extra work was it from building the F-4? The two types are extremely similar so how easy or difficult was it to go from the F-4 into the G-2? I'm curious from a development point of view.

Feared by the new G-2? Ask H.-J. Marseille what he thinks about it...

[Tyberan]

Awesome video. The music really suits it.

[DB605]

Recratable tail wheel is correct for early g2, later ones had bigger tail wheel as per g4.

[wastel]

With the derated engine to max 1.3ata the G2 will be not as good than the current 109F4 with full rated engine (that still is not correct simulated and blows up to fast).

 

109G2 is in this condition an downgraded 109F4.

Awesome! Can't wait to fly it. It's like christmas every week here @ BoS.

Regarding OP:

 

Hate to be a stickler but isn't it a Bf 109?

[I/JG27_Rollo]

He'd probably tell us to have its engine checked more often.

Thats just not true,

because the DB 605 A was a brand new designed engine which had a lot of better changes than the DB 601 E which was the first modern German engine at that time. So the 109 G-2 was even derated faster than the F-4.

[303_Kwiatek]

Faster only at high alts. Low to medium alts F-4 would be equal or little better with 1.42 Ata, and of course F-4 should be more nimble and better turner then G-2 1.3 Ata.

 

Of course 1.42 Ata was limited time for F-4.  I think 1 minute in BOS is too short - it should be possible 3 minutes rather.

 

At 1.3 Ata F-4 would be worse in speed and climb then G-2 but still little better turner.

 good video, but without "panzer galland"...
 

and my fast comparision, of f-4 and g-2, just with details and for fun...

f-4 1.42 ata, with 2890 kg (in game g-2 with 2994 - 104 kg of difference, i think is correct weight) - ~525 kph at 1200/2500 and ~550 at 1350/2700 (without bulletproof glass, i think, here interesting scan with ~523 kph@SuK, which personally i missed before)... ~ 4.4-4.5 min to 5 km (~21 mps at sl?)... looks like, around 20-21 sec at 1000 m (not sure)...

g-2 1.3 ata "early", with ~3000 kg - between 525 and 537 kph at 1310/2600 (IINM, so after reading of several sources)...  a bit worse aerodynamics... something around ~4.5 min to 5 km (20-21 mps at sl?)... and ~21-22 sec at 1000 (soviet 20.5-21.5 and finnish ~22)...

ie, gustav is really just "grown-up" fritz, but in his prime... instead "1 or 3 min. limit", he can use 1310/2600 already 30 min, and it's main or one of main advantages... bad side is bigger weight... and, of course, with bulletproof glass (- ~7-10 kph, i think, and + 10-20 kg), fritz a bit worse than before...

[TJT]

Excellent videos (watched the other intros too), very evocative.   Any plans of doing such an intro for the namesake of the game itself?

No problem!

[Bladderburst]

Again, people who think that the G2 is a downgrade compared to the F are going to learn how wrong they are in a very painful way.

Luftwaffies that think they're going to dominate the servers with it are going to be awfully disappointed by the arrival of the yak1 which will probably end their turkey shoot ego boosting sessions that they had so far against the lagg.

The FW190 and LA5 now, those I can't wait. Especially the 190.

 

Very nice video by the way. Music fits very well.

Yes, RuNike videos are always fantastic. I also think the song from Cat People is a really cool song and a great touch, atop a very well done video.    MJ

[1./KG4_Blackwolf]

Yeah, very nice video, I like my Lagg but can't wait for the Yak to get here! I'll still fly the Lagg sometimes though  when I'm not bombing something.

The correct answer is: both are correct.

Not really,

 

I can refer to the Mustang car as a Mustang, stang or pony and colloquially I am correct. The Bf 109 is officially recognized by the end user as the Bf 109. Me was not an official designation for this particular plane, although, other aircraft designs were. A couple of internal documents does not change that in any way.

 

Coincidentally, the opening screen of the video, as opposed to the thread title, is Bf as well.

 

My op was originally tongue in cheek but not incorrect.

Well, the end user composed propaganda songs about the little Me 109

Its like saying you incorrect to call the F-16 the Viper. It's a commonly accepted name for the airframe.

Oh and add Jugs to the list too.

The term that fighter pukes despise is "fighter jet". The media made it popular lately, but anyone using it is considered a semi-buffoon.

While I would agree that Bf109 is the more official term... both Me109 and Bf109 are used in pilot logs and in multiple sources on both sides so perception being 9/10ths that really does make them interchangable. Similarly, the Spitfire had it's own run of confusion particularly around the Merlin 66 powered LF.IXc which is often referred to in pilot log books (and in biographies) as the Spitfire IX-B nothing the difference between this and the earlier F.IX (Merlin 61 and 63). While LF.IX is official... IX-B has to be accepted seeing how far it went. I admit confusion looking at log books until I figured out what was going on. With the Bf109 vs Me109 at least there is little confusion. I am glad, however, that the game quite correctly lists it as Bf109.
