Developed in 1940, the Bf 109 F outperformed the earlier Bf 109 E due to lighter armament, improved aerodynamics, and a more powerful engine.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:


  • Great altitude performance
  • Retains good speed characteristics for its tier like the 109 E.
  • Capable of chasing same-tier heavy fighters, even the Me 410.
  • Good accuracy and overheat time on the hub-mounted 20mm autocannon.


Cons:


  • Lacks numerous powerful guns that its direct predecessor enjoyed.
  • DPS is on par with the I-210. Expect plenty of stolen aerial kills.
  • No improvement in maneuverability over its predecessor, despite weight reduction. Leaves much to be desired.


Performance

This aircraft has a lot in common with the earlier 109's yet lots of change. It still has its great altitude performance and it flies just the same,but gains a lot of speed at the cost of its guns. Although it does have the 20mm cannon mounted inside the propeller and gains 13mm machine guns once you unlock them, it loses the wing mounted guns. So a big loss to firepower. The only redeeming factor is that the 20mm autocannon is fairly accurate and does not overheat quickly. The best way to make the most of its limited firepower is at close-range. This means you have to rely more and more on putting accurate bursts into your targets; and this style pays off once you unlock the Bf-109 G and beyond. It plays similar to the American P51. Use your new-found speed and altitude to dive bomb lower threats. Stay out of low altitude fights, you will get destroyed very fast.


Early Research

  • 15mm cannon carries over, mount first

20mm cannon to improve guns OR airframe to improve health

  • go from there
