Bf 109 G-10

[LukeFF]

Not sooner than that. 😄

Any Ww2 Plane addition to GB is well received, but for me the G10 means my favorite 109 airframe.

 

I hope that some day i can fly that plane on Eric Hartmann colors.

Thanks Luke...maybe after summer?

I hope so. A Bf-109 G-10 would be nice. But whatever comes, I will be happy to know that there are future plans for Great Battles.

Yes, me too.

Where I do love me some Messerschmitts, the Bf109 G-10 would have a great addition if we had the Berlin '45 map or late war Hungary map (Operation Spring Awakening).
This might not be a bad idea..... Lake Balaton!

I like your idea and optimism but I think work on Great Battles is nearly finished I am afraid. But who knows, maybe in the next series after Korea and the Pacific. But I am aware this is a topic for another thread.

Question about the G-10;

 

I have seen pictures of them both with fixed tailwheel, which is taller than usual, and a retractable one like the K-4.  Did they produce both?

Only the K-4 had the fully retractable tailwheel.

 

G-10's had both tall and normal height fixed tailwheel struts - depending on which factory. Most (if not all) Erla built machines had the tall strut and all Wiener-Neustadt/Diana G-10's had the short strut.

Good read about the late G-Version mess

 

Unordnung – Late Versions of the Bf 109 G | Page 9 | 09/2024 | Info EDUARD

[ST_Catchov]

And the Lord said, "Maketh two versions of the G10. One shall have a little tailwheel. And one shall have a big one."

 

And the world rejoiced, peace reigned for 1 score and 10 years and there were no floods.

 

Genesis 15:8-9.

 

Make it so 1C.

The one with the big tail wheel is just excited to see you...

[ITAF_Rani]

If Devs  will implement Me 109 G10, probably they will add a proper theater...

In my opinion the possibility could be:

 

-Hungary ( Balaton lake)

 

-North Italy

 

-Or more simple like another collector plane related to Low Countries as we already have, if they don t want add another map.

The one with the little tailwheel has slashed the tyre of the big tailwheel, stating the bigger the wheel the flatter they get...

I think it's important to understand that we just want every variant of the 109 ever made. Maps don't come into it.

Be careful, what you wish for, because you just might get it. 😉

Cursed as it is, it's still better than this

Скрытый текст

An unholy combination of a late Gustav airframe, early-war Jumo 211 (heavier and less powerful than DB 605) and a prop that honestly might've inspired this soviet fan with how   w i d e   it is.

[BrotKasting]

Does this mean, every variant of the 109 is welcome, as long as it provides an advantage in at least one area? 

Would be interesting to see the 199´s impact in a Multiplayer Bodenplatt or Normandy scenario though.

Presumeably, players would rather ignore it and go for the G-10 instead? Probably. 😉

There is a sliiiiight problem though: S-199 is a post-war bird, not even close to Normandy or BP. And performance-wise I guess hardly anyone would fly it unironically. 

 

The plane's a joke, not a suggestion.

[BrotKasting]

I´m with you here and I´m aware of the time frame too. I´m not seriously suggesting to put either of both a/c into the game. 

But since the 199 wouldn´t have the edge on performance, it would be interesting to see its impact on multiplayer. 😉

Yet the IAF shot down Egyptian Spitfires with the 199.

Feels more like a "despite" situation, not a "thanks to" one. Goes to show how much of a difference personal skill and experience makes.
Overall I've come across a nice article on the state of the IAF in 1948-49, including all the victory claims and how the IAF even got their aircraft to begin with. 

[BlitzPig_EL]

One of the late members of the BlitzPigs, BlitzPig Void, (RIP) was from Tel Aviv, and knew people that flew for the IAF back then.  An interesting story to be sure.

I wish it did. 

[Enceladus828]

I would rather see the Bf-110F-2 and Pe-3 before anymore Bf-109s and Fw-190s, those planes have been milked to death in this game.

Honestly same. I'd rather see some more twin-engined bombers for the Allies, or DB-3F, or at least an early Stuka.

Or 110 G-4.

Unless it’s an aircraft variant to train new modellers like the Pe-2 1944, A-20G or Mosquito Mk.IV we won’t be seeing any entirely new twins like a flyable B-25 or IL-4. The Blenheim maybe.

That was used for night interceptions which doesn’t fit into the game because there are no Lancasters.

Wrong.
 

MOAR 109'S!!!

I'm with you friend. One just can't have enough 109's. Never. It is impossible. I want them raining from the sky. All of them. 1C, do your duty.

[David_4555]

109 is love, 109 is life. I believe in the church of the Bf-109. 

[BlitzPig_EL]

Can't wait for the Pacific.

 

NO m0aR 109s!

 

[ST_Catchov]

I shed tears of happiness every Sunday morning when we sing this in Church.

If I didn't know Catch was just extracting the Michael, I'd be really worried about his mental health...

[sevenless]

A Bf 109 G-10 would certainly sell as a collector, as would a Fw 190 A-9, and both would fit in well with Bodenplatte. Also both would be adaptions of already existing planes and not strain dev ressources that much as a completely new plane. Let´s see what the future brings...

Without getting too off topic, I would also like to see all of those aircraft, plus the Ju-87 B-2 for Odessa/Leningrad 1941 and Moscow as well. 

[Avimimus]

The only Bf-109 variant I'd be excited by at this point is the Bf-109 G-8!

 

I think it'd be cool. Open up a bunch of reconnaissance missions and give the option of flying with a reduced armament to increase performance.

A recon modification would probably be the only reason for me to buy another Bf-109. It's a shame that the Luftwaffe's close range recon units are completely ignored in the game, despite their important role. Photo recon was just one of their tasks, others were maritime patrols, artillery spotting and sometimes fighter missions were flown too. There were several Bf-109 recon pilots that achieved ace status.
