BF109-F2: new BF109-F1 weapon mod "MG-FF/M Motor cannon" + Demo / Test Mod

November 13

Hi Developers,

I suggest to add this weapon modification, because:

-The BF109-F1 and F2 were very similar planes.

-The main difference was just the MG-FF/M Motor cannon (that jammed frequently) with a 60 round drum magazine.

-The plane was already in service (in small numbers) in October 1940 during the late Battle of Britain / The Blitz.

According to "Spitfire II/V vs Bf109F Channel Front 1940-42" by Tony Holmes / Osprey Publishing:

-No of the BF109-F1 was build ca. 187

-First delivery to I. and Stab JG51 in early October 1940

-First operational combat mission: 9.10.1940 / Stab JG51

-First BF109-F1 shot down (pilot bailed out) over Great Britain: 11.11.1940 / I.JG51

For our IL-2 Great Battles I have created a preliminary additional small modification for testing:

-MG151/20 mod for MG-FF/M:

-reduced rate of fire

-increased dispersion / lower accuracy to reduce effective range to ca. 200m...300m

-frequent stoppages due to overheating after long bursts of ca 10...60 rounds (random by IL-2)

(Note: the limited 60 rounds in the magazine have to be simulated by the player manually / watch ammo counter)

-BF109-F2 AI file

-AI pilots open fire at closer distance to avoid waste of ammunition / overheating the weapon to early.

-slightly reduced max. AI cruise power to make following the AI leader easier.

-Preliminary (not historical) blanc skin with JG51 emblem for tactical codes, based on the Template by BlackHellHound.
