Ok. I misunderstood your earlier sentence according to these:

i can get you a quote for that to.

I thought, you say that LW did not use an MG-FF (or /M) earlier at this (sept 1940). They used cannon on E-3, and E-4 too. It is apparent from the list purely that these types flew early.
(I have these databases too, Kurfurst (aka VO101_Isegrim) my squad-mate )

Why would it be necessary to claim an order? One of the historical facts less important than the other one? At one of the airplanes important the type of the propeller, a whole series does not count at other one?
(only interest, if the numbers count, for what the E-3? Why not E-1 or E-4? Much more were flying from these, than E-3)

yeah i know there was plenty of cannon armed 109's around from the start, but i also know there was plenty of machine gun ones too, all through the battle

as to an order, it just makes sense to me to do the main players before the bit players, thats all.

But then as i have said many times on these boards, i'm mystified by the choices the devs made on release!

personally, i'd of done the E1 and E4 right form the off, and don't really understand the choice of the E3 instead because of the numbers like you say, but hey, thats just me.

If it had been up to me it would of been, SpitI 12lbs CSP, Hurri 12lbs CSP, Bf109E1, Bf109E4, Bf110C4.

then SpitIIa followed by Bf109E7.
