I posted those details in the Planet Battlefield forum to help recruit FH players. So I ask why the 109G never made it? Very simple question. I have played the mod since .5 and IMO It is the best mod ever made for any game. The Panzer III finally made it into the mod - a vey good job indeed-but there was constant "bitching" about its absence for a hell of a long time.There was already a crap load of panzer variants in the mod so why bother with a Pz III in .7 when it could have waited for FH 2? One wonders if the "bitching" made it happen?

Take it easy, there is no need for the attitude...

As for you pointing out that there were a load of panzer varaints in the mod, well the Panzer III was Germany main medium tank from 1940 - 43 (Although in 43 it was getting phased out) and was therefore a very important tank for a WW2 mod. If you look at the mod now, there are panzer IIIs in almost all 1940-43 maps - that is why the Panzer III was modelled. In fact I'm hoping for even more Panzer III variants for earlier war maps.

Re: WHY AGAIN NO 109Gs or F??

There were PzIII's present in Normandie and PzIIIM's at Arnhem.

IIRC there were still around 67 still listed as active in West in May 1945.

True it was no longer the main tank, as the PzIV-H/J and Panther replaced it.

Re: WHY AGAIN NO 109Gs or F??

Considering the "flight model" of BF aircraft, I have a hard time imagining any real difference. The flight characteristics of all these aircraft are not even close to being modelled...I, for one, don't really care what the thing looks like.
There are excellent dedicated WWII flightsims where you can fly variation after variation of all sorts of aircraft to your heart's content, all accurately modeled as to weaponry, flight characteristics, and so forth.
I forget how many 109 variations are in the IL-2-Forgotten battles set now; it's a lot.

No-one care to comment on this point?

Re: WHY AGAIN NO 109Gs or F??

There is a 109G in some maps in FH. Its on Kasserine Pass , Bocage , Bombing the Reich & Supercharge. It has a nose mounted 30mm cannon ( way underpowered in game though) and two MG's in the nose. It also performs better than the 109E.

Here is a pic of it here:

Granted it does not look like a 109G and all the devs have probobly done is renamed the object tweaked the armament and handling but it is still in.

Re: WHY AGAIN NO 109Gs or F??

That picture above proves my point. That is a model of the Bf 109E inspite of the label saying it is a 109G. Like I said in my inital post one could label the Russian ligth tank the BT 7 as a T 34 and assign properties of the T34 but that Still does Not make that model/skin look like a T34.

No, the differences between the 109E and G are minimal, it would not be worth making a completely new model, just for some changes in looks. It's either an edited 109E, or nothing at all.

Though I do expect to see seperate models for the E and G in FH2.

The label says its simply a Bf 109. Like someone's post above "just be happy with what you got". Thats my two cents.
