i read about f4 got better aerodynamics but a weaker motor slower climb rate.
g2 instead got more power higher speed and of course more wight.
my expirience says, in g2 u get more victories especially when the opponent crashes on the deck but both got the same guns with it.
please help me out of this...  |
The G2 has the same aerodynamics as the F4. The G2 has basicly the same engine too, only the cylinder block was bored out to increase the engine capacity from 33.9l to 35.7, litres gaining around 175bhp. This engine performance gain let Messerschmitt fit larger fuel tanks and better protective armour. All this led to the 109G2 being 10% heavier than the 109F, which gave it a higher stall speed and less manuverability than the F and some nasty handling characteristics on take off and landing. This is why the 109F is known as the nicest 109 to fly and the best 109 in a dogfight.
The aerodynamics of the 109G6 though are worse than the F4 and G2, thanks to the larger 13mm machine guns needing more space for their breech mechanism (those two humps infront of the pilot create more drag).
