True -- they were remanufactured air frames, but improved. The G-10 was an attempt at restoring the 109 series as a dogfighter. It was the fastest of the G series machines, and was a much better dogfighter than the heavier, poor handling K models. With near the speed of the K, and near the firepower of the G6, and better handling than both -- what is not to like?

Bear in mind -- this is just my opinion -- as I don't believe any one plane can be declared the best model or series of the war. I'm just saying that if I had a choice of going up against the allied planes in 1944-45 in a 109 -- the G-10 would be my personal choice.

E,G,K - all the same to me

nice targets to shoot down with my huricane/spitfire



Though - from a nuetral point of view and a guy that only flies the allied planes, on the odd occasion i have had to use a 109 i've found the later models to be a bit sluggish. They can BnZ but then its not a game of skill if two of you are flying head on guns blazing, its now turned into luck.

Basically, i found the "E" to dogfight well with early war year planes, but as the years progress and so do the models, i find the 109 gets heavier and more sluggish, yet powerful.

Still - in the hands of a good axis pilot im sure it can be a superb machine.

Personally I don't like the fact I haven't unlocked it yet
Seriously, look forward to try it.
