There's more to life than just the ME-109E

Wasn't the versions from F and up just external Gun pods? Mostly for shooting up Bombers?

The G variant had rounded wingtips, not squared, and removed the little struts under the rear horizontal stabilizers, and a small, rounded scoop on the left side of the engine cowling. A cleaner, meaner look. So, most Bf 109's did not have wing struts!

I know that the Testpilot created models for SH3.

The 109 series were beautiful planes. I always liked the early version with the wing struts and had a blast for many years in IL2 flying all versions.

I know, I like the wing struts too. I have gotten used to seeing the E-model soldier on throughout the war, just a feature of the game I guess.
