	Another tactic that works well in the 109E is the scissors style where a series of slicing reversals one after another will force a pursuing fighter with a better turn rate (but less roll rate) out in front of your guns. Again, this is a difficult style of combat to learn but extremely effective if you ever do manage to learn how to master such a method.

	The Bf-109G was an improved model over the Bf-109F in some respects, but not in others. It boasted a high climb rate and top speed, but it was no faster than the F in its earlier versions without MW50 injection. And its extra weight meant it didn't climb quite as well, although it still outclimbed the Allied aircraft, except for the Spitfire IX. The biggest surprise for those caught in its gun sights is going to be the "melon launcher" 30 mm Mk 108 cannon firing HE Mine rounds. This hits with roughly the same authority as a 40 mm Bofors round! However, the increased weight does hurt its turn performance over the lighter, more nimble 109F. The upside of this is that it's actually a little more stable in violent manuevering as a result of the loss of all that edgy nimbleness in its leaner sister. Those who can't handle the feeling of instability in the 109F may find the heavier G more to their liking.		The Bf-109G was an improved model over the Bf-109F in some respects, but not in others.

	The Bf 109G was the next incremental improvement over its predecessor the Bf 109F. Changes were slight: a reinforced wing structure gave it a slightly higher VnE (Velocity Never Exceed), more pilot and fuel tank armour was added and the canopy strengthened. Other than that it was essentially similar to the 109F, with the same armament. It still boasted a high climb rate and top speed, but in t's earlier versions without MW50 injection it was actually no faster than the F, and it's extra weight meant t didn't climb quite as well, although it still beat the Allied Aircraft at climbing for the most part, except for the Spitfire IX.

			Like virtually all German fighters, the Bf-109 G2 offered a growing variety of Rustsatze. This particular aircraft sports the RI, a standard ETC 501 bomb rack capable of hauling a single SC 250 bomb to wherever it needs to go.
