BF109 G-6
Requested by one of my steam subs:
The BF109 G-6 with 2x MG 131’s and 3x 20mm MG151’s and 1x bombs
Story:
The Bf 109 G-6 "Gustav" was the most mass-produced variant of the Gustav series. It entered production in the late Autumn of 1942, and was initially designed as a universal platform which could be quickly converted to various roles as needed in field conditions. The G-6 was also equipped with improved engines, either with MW 50 methanol-water injection, or the high-altitude GM-1 nitrous oxide injection. The DB 605AS engine, which used 96-octane fuel, as opposed to 87-octane, could reach over 2,000 HP at 500 m and 1,800 HP at 5,000 m. These variants were designated Bf 109G-6/AS. The armoured seat had a transparent seat back, which significantly improved visibility. A total of 700 /AS aircraft were produced.
One of the most fun planes to fly so far in my opionion!
