[XyZspineZyX]

hi chaps, i have been trying to figure out which plane is the better but i could not do it.
i believe k4 is more stable but i have a feeling that d9 has more ammo and bigger firepower.

so, in a turnfight which would be your choice?

thankx

I think BF109 k4 is better.
D9 is a Sword, but K4 is a Scalpel.
It's only recomended for sharp-shooters ;-)

I wouldn't want to turn fight in either; use them to your advantage, B'n'Z

I'd never claim to be an expert but have found the 109 K-4 to be the aircraft of choice over the Dora, as much as I hate to admit it. I remember once having read that the Dora was the finest Lufwaffe fighter ever produced in significant numbers, whereas the K-4 was a failed attempt by Messerschmitt's designers to modernize an already outdated fighter just to keep the production rolling. Luftwaffe pilots complained that the K-4 was extremely difficult to fly at higher altitudes and its high-speed maneuverability was poor at best. In Forgotten Battles, however, I've been disappointed with the Dora's performance, especially its climb rate and acceleration, and find the only way to take on anything with it is to go for a head-on pass and pray, since the AI's accuracy is uncanny. Perhaps in online play it might be the plane of choice, but not against enemy AI! Especially at the altitudes that most engagements take place.

I find the K4 much better than the Dora, and a much more stable shooting platform. The Dora quivers too much while shooting, making aiming quite difficult. K4â´s nose cannon reduces it, and I find it much more accurate, and firepower is good enough to bring down almost everything with a well aimed short burst.Otherwise, it climbs like hell, dives well and even if it doesnâ´t turn like a Hurri, a B&Z tactic is a good idea. The only plane that scares my while in a K4 is the La 7...Itâ´s the only one that - at least online- can climb and dive with the K4 and outurn it easily.

The Dora is better(IMO) than the K4 in just about everything except climb and acceleration. In real life the 109 had very heavy controls in the rolling plane, something that is not correctly modelled in FB. For those who still want to turn with these B&Z fighters will find that the Dora is not to be underestimated, after all the K4 and Dora had the same turning time, at 1000 meters at least. At 470 km/h the Dora can turn very tight without losing to much E. The Dora can also withstand more battle damage.

The 109s had extremely poor handling at high speeds.
It was the opposite at near stall speed where it handled beautifully, or at least that's what I've read.
During hard turns also , the slats in the wings had the tedency to open.
While this prevented a stall , it threw the pilot off his aim.
The 109s in this sim have no vices, as opposed to the 190s mediocre stall characteristics being overemphasized.

K4 all the way.
