Advanced Fighter 1 Escort BLOCKADE DUTY: This unit rolls one extra attack die when making attacks against UNITS that are on your side of the map.
Beginning its service with the Kondor Legion in the Spanish Civil War.Bf 109's were the most produced german fighter aircraft. Be109Gs were the most produced variant, with over 35,000 built. Production started in 1942 to counter newer allied aircraft. Me-109Gs become the primary high-altitude fighter for the Luftwaffe against the Allied Bomber offensive
I did the stats, so if theyre wrong, theyre wrong.
I just checked and RB gave the 109 E the gunnery of 3 so we will keep it. The increase from AA7 to AA 8 is probably a bit generous since the armament didn't change, but the aircraft is a little more capable. According to my book on Luftwaffe Aircraft the "G" was faster, but heavier and a little less maneuverable than its predecessors.
So is my adjustment to "Local Defense" okay? I think it is still pretty darn generous.
As near as I can tell the main thing this brings to the party is an Fw 190 with Escort and carrier capability. And yet this is going to be the same cost. Given that I would at least drop the "Local Defense" SA.
Remember that as a carrier capable aircraft it can get the Expert Dog SAs as well.
