Survivability and armour

Very minimal armour protecting the pilot and engine.

Armaments

Offensive armament

The BF-109 G2 comes with a nose mounted single 20 mm MG-151 (200 rounds) auto cannon and two synchronized 7.92 mm MG-17 (1000 rounds) machine guns all located on the nose of the aircraft. With these stock armaments it is all but a breeze to get on target offering little to no drop when firing. Ammunition conservation is not an issue but pilots may want to pay close attention to their 20 mm with its 200 rounds.

Suspended armament

The BF-109 G2 comes with two additional underwing 20 mm MG-151 auto cannons great for attacking light ground targets and making quick work of bombers. The BF-109 G2 also comes with four 50 kg SC50JA bombs and a single 250 kg SC250JA bomb which both come in handy when destroying tanks, in tank RB.

Usage in battles

The BF-109 G2 is very similar in performance to the BF-109 G2/trop. Major difference between the two is the BF-109 G2 is faster than its brother but it offers little to no support when facing allied (USA, Britain, USSR, etc.) opponents. Turns better than most aircraft in its tier and holds energy very well.

When used in battles it is best to climb to an altitude of 10,000 ft. or more. Maintaining an energy advantage with this aircraft is the best tactic to maintain when in battle. The BF-109 G2 preforms extremely well at higher altitudes with the ability to out maneuver most of its opponents. The BF-109 G2 is universal when it comes to a preferred flight characteristic but boom and zoom is preferred for the best results.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Very good climb rate
  • Good performance in high altitude
  • Decent Turn rate
  • Good energy retention
  • Excellent armament

Cons:

  • Engine overheats quickly
  • Engine very fragile when damaged
  • Wings overload at lower speeds than other fighters at its tier

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article. This section may also include the vehicle's devblog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === Encyclopedia Info ===, also if applicable).

In-game description

"The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a single-seat monoplane fighter used by the Luftwaffe before and during WWII. It was used as a fighter, interceptor, high-altitude interceptor, fighter-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft.

The Bf 109 G "Gustav" was the most mass-produced variant of the 109, powered by the Daimler-Benz DB 605. The 605 was basically a DB 601 with the cylinder block redesigned to increase displacement from 33.9, to 35.7 liters - which resulted in 175 extra HP with no significant change in size. The Gustav also received improved armament. Instead of the previously standard 7.62mm MG 17 machine guns, 13mm MG 131 heavy machine guns were used. The heavier guns lead to distinct cowling bulges, needed to cover the breechblocks on the new guns.

However, the increased equipment led to heavier weight on the Gustav, in fact 10% heavier than the Friedrich. Compared to the much earlier Bf 109B, the Gustav was almost 46% heavier. The new aircraft had begun to reach front-line units by May 1942. In essence, the Bf 109 design had reached its peak, and would ideally need to be replaced with newer, more modern designs. However, the troubled Me 209 replacement was still in development and things at the front were beginning to look ominous for Germany. Consequently, the RLM decided to continue to further refine the 109."

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

Notable pilots

  • Finnish Air Force pilot Ilmari Juutilainen transitioned from the Brewster Buffalo to the Bf 109 G-2 and felt that it was an extremely aggressive aircraft, one that helped him score 56 of his 94 kills in cluding Soviet La-5 fighters which he felt were more agile than the 109.
