The other day I had a 5 minute long dogfight with a Yak-3 in a Bf-109 G2, we were at it for so damn long, it felt literally like the "paths of hate" cinematic if anyone has ever seen it. We both scored hits, got on each other's tail, made bullet holes, until I finally managed to destroy his engine. He made a safe landing, and I was far too battered to make it back to my base and went ahead and landed next to him. We became friends on discord after that.

The 109 K-4 has the most engine power of any 109 and of course still has the airbrake up its sleeve.

The K4 is my favorite plane in the game. As of right now I have 900+ battles in it. It’s just sad that the br and matchmaking forces it to be paired up with useless Ju 288s and fight P 51Hs and F2Gs every match. Thankfully though most people in this game don’t know what they’re doing, so you can probably clutch a match that should’ve been lost more often that not.

Same. It's my most played aircraft and it's for good reason. I remember playing it when it was 5.3 and before it got a 20mm and everyone hated flying it but I made it my mission to prove people wrong about the ole girl. Me I loved it and spanked in it.

[@andym.s.5231]

Great piece of content! Only improvements I could recommend would be knowing when to retract flaps and the bigger one, using MEC The German air brake, perfect for overshoots and the pitch machine, an incredible amount of extra thrust at the expense of engine temperature for short-term benefits in stall climbs Unfortunately with all the super props even with all that it’s still over tiered, any P51H pilot with half a braincell can kill it easily but it’s still got a place in my heart from the early days, to 5.3, to a bit after being up tiered to 5.7 K4 my beloved

@@evangalinsky2499 It is if you want to take advantage of the incredible platform that the 109K is. Sure you can do it all default and be an average pilot, but I, Enginerd, I believe Messersmitty and anyone who knows the worth of the 109s uses MEC, because it is literally invaluable. I have nowadays focused my entire routine around the air brake and the stall climbing potential, it is second nature and results in the most intense dogfights with otherwise clear-cut better aircraft that either end instantly with my tricks or in a long drawn-out fight with a skilful pilot. It’s fantastic. This plane is a beast, and if you don’t want to take advantage of it then be my guest, but getting pissy players who want to 1v1 and then destroying them 17-0 because you’re able to master MEC, flaps and simulator controls all at once is nothing short of the most satisfying experience in this game

The K4 is only better in vertical maneuvers and low-speed performance. Any P-51H or F2G that dies to a K4 in a dogfight either was under the K4 by like 1000-3000 meters or is simply incompetent. Mind you both the F2G and P-51H equals, the Spitfire mk 22 (F2G equal) and mk 24 (P-51H equal) are 6.7br and 7.0br.

I've heard about this - How does it work?

[@IvanBaturaChannel]

@@natalo78 Before takeoff, turn on manual engine control, set prop pitch to 0℅, and turn it off. When you need an air brake, throttle down and turn it on once again.

[@dingsbums9590]

It's actually 100% prop pitch for the airbrake. 0% prop pitch + turning the engine off (not the same as 0% throttle, which would result in no notable difference to the normal performance) would prevent the plane from losing speed too quickly in the case of an engine failure. Quite the handy trick aswell though.

Also what you said about the F2 is untrue. as you get further down the 109 tree they trade turn performance for speed and honestly you can say that about most planes. with its 18.0 turn you can easily out fly most spits and all American planes who challenge you to a turn fight thinking youre a higher tree 109 not to mention with the F2 being folded most dont see it often.
