336

Dear Friends,

As we have mentioned during one of the video streams earlier, there are additional Collector Planes in development which are modifications of the existing ones in our sim. Today we can tell you a bit about one of them: the Messerschmitt Bf-109 G6/AS.

.............................

 

Full news - here is a full text and visual materials

[RoteDreizehn]

thanks a lot - will buy it as it is available...

 

Is there a chance to get also the TA152 C3 and DO 335 in future ? Would be very pleased....

[Bando]

Thank you team!
I hope you will tell us what the next adventure will be....

[Jade_Monkey]

Interesting choice, definitely very requested by the community, but also a more niche option given that we already have G6 and G6 Late.

 

It looks good nonetheless and it's optional (for those who are going to be outraged).

 

Looking forward to the announcement of the other collector plane and the next project!

[Deacon352nd]

That’s great. You make a plane of which there was 686 made but when we ask for a B17 of which thousands were made, we get “sorry”. Not right. 

[smink1701]

Another 109?

 

[PainGod85]

Ok, an AS-engined 109G is finally coming. Good.

 

That said, this really should've been an engine modification for the G-6/late or G-14, not a plane of its own. As it stands, it's just by the barest of margins anything more than "yet another copy-paste 109, but this one, THIS ONE, is different. Somehow."

[FAW-Tromplamort]

Interesting... I would have hoped for a Yak-3 who is an iconic Soviet Fighter we lack in the simulation.

Are you not entertained??? ?

[BlackHellHound1]

While some would say it's "just another 109". I'm still going to get it! 
Been waiting for a G-6/14 with AS since Bodenplatte was announced!

 

Really nice to see this plane finally being added. Now we just need the G-10 and the earlier 109's ?

Someone is very happy about this. I think I'd personally have saved another Bf-109 for an East '44/45 module and given us a Collector Plane applicable to one of the earlier war eras (since we aren't getting new modules for then - at least not any time soon). But, well... as I said, I'll let whoever is really happy about this variant be happy about it.

[ITAF_Airone1989]

Finally a 109!

[LuftManu]

I was wondering when we would see some AS birds. ??

There is no map fitting for the plane. So single player is very much limited.

[[F.Circus]sith1144]

very exciting news! looking forward to trying out the Snipe

[6./ZG26_Gielow]

Nice!! If quick modifications are on table now it's time for the He111H20. 

[Heckpupper]

Just announce Korea already.

Yes...

[ww2fighter20]

Didn't expect another Bf109, was kinda hoping for an allied bomber like the Boston IIIA (A20C), IV (A20J) or bomber version of Mosquito considering the western allies have no flyable level bombers at all.

[sevenless]

Very good choice for BoN and BoBP!

[timothy55]

Wonderful news Han,BF109G6/AS choice of many, for those complaining, collector planes in development, more than one , exciting to wait and  see what comes next.

Now about next weeks download, speculation on what are the  improvements apart from the Snipe.

Yes mate... it will go with that another Spitfire  

[DN308]

Interesting 

[DBFlyguy]

"Something new".....

 

 

 

???

[LLv24_SukkaVR]

Great! Now we only need those B-17's to have something to intercept at high altitude

[JG7_X-Man]

Generally speaking, every Luftwaffe light fighter was either a Bf 109 or Fw 190 of some sort.

 

All Bf 109s and variants

All Fw 190 variants and Ta 152s

 

The AS versions were very important to the European Air War and need representation in the game.

B-17s and B-24s and a service celling around 7,600M (25,000 ft) full loaded so if a fighter would be designed to attack them, that's the altitude the fighter needed to operate at is peak performance. 

[BMA_FlyingShark]

I had a small feeling it'd be this one since Jason talked about it earlier this year.

 

Still, I feel pleasantly surprised.

 

Have a nice day.

 

[R7-S276]

for me new planes is a better priority than new variants… and there is a lot of historical possibilities 

[AndyJWest]

So, the Luftwaffe are getting a high-altitude Bf-109. Clearly the allies need something to counter it. 

 

How about a Westland Welkin?

 

Just kidding. I doubt this beauty would give much return on investment, even if the details to model it were available, which they almost certainly aren't. 109s clearly sell, and giving customers what they want makes sense, even if it disappoints fans of obscure beauties (and uglies)  like myself.

[migmadmarine]

Will The 6AS be mixed into the same units as other G6/G14/K4s, or dedicated units?

[Guster]

Cool!

[Denum]

Mmmmmm

Not me. I only have nine variants of the 109 now.

 

I really want at least ten versions of the same plane. Ten is good. Fifteen would be better.

Probably easier to produce, but i have enough of nazi fighters for now. Rather see something new like water planes, or these:

 

 

 

 

[coreyhkh]

can you fix the p40 and p47? , seems like lots of bias towards russian and german planes....

[354thFG_Panda_]

Awesome! Love that the modifications are also discussed, should allow many possibilities and matchups. I think this one may take the G6L place as my favourite. 

 

Any chance the roll rate of the 109s at high speeds (+500kmh) will be investigated while this is developed??

[IckyATLAS]

Time to have a Mitsubishi zero fighter.

 

[Jiggs]

I love all the 109’s. Thank you team!

[RNAS10_Mitchell]

Yes Snipe!   ?
